Wheelhorse D160 Workhorse
Chav88 replied to Chav88's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Okay I have some updates. Today I searched and found a 103” belt and with the adjuster all the way tight the 103” fits perfect. But I did make a realization and I have to take the blame. Not often I admit I messed up but I realized I put the 107.38” belt on the mule drive instead of the 105” and I put the 105” on the deck. Which explains why the spindle belt was too tight. I wrote it down wrong and never went back and re confirmed my numbers. So I guess the only good is I learned that there is quite a bit of play in the belt size so if in the future I’m in a bind I can make things work. I noticed a huge difference having a tighter belt. I was able to mow the county ditch full speed without having too poor of a cut. So I am loving this thing. One odd thing is now the deck sits for the forward so it’s not hitting my wheels but when I lift the deck the mid lift rear brackets interfere with the rear adjustment. I’m going to have to read the manual again and make sure I’m not missing anything. Few other small updates. I made a cheap drag harrow that I’ll have to get a picture of and I’m on the hunt for a plow bracket. Other than that the battery still goes dead after using the PTO so I’m going to have to look up the charging specs. I’m assuming the charging system is weak. And lastly I came across a c160 so I might be able to use for parts, I have to do some research, as well as a 24hp Onan. I’m guessing it’s far too large to fit in the area the 16 fits. -
Get one of those big bows they use for the Lexus Christmas commercials. That should spice things up nicely when you pull in with that on it!

One of my favorite cartoons growing up. And I'm still not grown up on here all the time.

The foot print of the tractor is just about 8ft 4". Youll pick up quite a bit if you can get front end over. It rolled back last night... it was right up to front and about 2" shy from gate closing. Maybe put oil change ramps under front wheels? -

John I was scratching my head when you bought this one. But apparently you found a need for it. Hope it works out for you. -
Need P/N For Wheel Horse (Not Toro) 314-8 Throttle Cabe
Racinbob replied to hotajax's topic in Engines
Buying cable in bulk is a better idea but for no more often than I do it I just pick up a cheap throttle and cannibalize. I discovered I needed one for my Dino project so I got this at Rural King a couple days ago. I'll fit it to the original control and cut it to length as needed. The Z bend tool I have gets the job done OK. -

If you go that route... pay attention to the direction of the second end bends relative to the opposite end. For the smoothest action in use, you want the two ends to be within 10 degrees or so of the intended placement. If you end up 180 off, it puts a constant bind in the cable..... -

Wanna build a black hood...
AlexR replied to kpinnc's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
How hard is it to do this? It doesn't seem like it would be easy to cut right, and that is a lot of welding too. -
That's what I use on my C-120. McMaster has just about everything.

Yes the Onans have cast iron sleeved cylinders. For export versions of the 518H, the differences are as you said, mainly 2hp. Also the 518H had only 3 dash guages as opposed to the 5 on the 520H. The 520H also had a louvered hood. After 1990, the 520H came with a heavier forward swept front axle and spindles. I only mention that because I am unsure if the export 518H was produced after 1989.
-
Thank you very much for your answer Do you know if Onan P218 has iron sleeves ? What is the difference between 518 H and 520 H except 2 Hp ?

Sounds a lot like me getting older! -
McMaster sells this stuff. One piece will do both treads, it sticks very well.

Dimensions needed for Mid Mount Grader Blade Bracket
Chrishar replied to BradKahler's topic in Implements and Attachments
Where did you find the measurements to make the frame part I have the blade but I don't have the frame if you could give me the measurements that would be nice thank you -
The gas in the air filter may just be a slightly leaky needle and set or a float that isn't functioning properly.

I gave the steel supplier my building measurements, they gave me a stack of steel. Most of it is all long, I think I have used 3 pieces at length.

This is the whole fuel system run down/ everything I did to it...Today-I had been chasing an issue with the fuel filter not filling up I had cleaned the shut off valve Saturday did not fix the issue...I came home to the smell of gas and discovered the seal went bad in the shut off valve so I bypassed it for now...I will tear in to it some day if I can't fix it I will buy an inline shut off valve...Fuel pump- it had the original metal fuel pump on it then it started leaking and acting up which made it catch on fire about 5 times because the muffler was right underneath the fuel pump so it would drip on the muffler and catch fire...I put a cheap plastic fuel pump on it but it failed after 2 weeks so I invested in a quality "I Save Tractors" Fuel pump it was worth the price it has been on there for about 4 years and still going strong. The carb is about 5 years old bought it new...I just replaced the fuel filter about 2 weeks ago it is clean...so the fuel shut off valve was the issue with the engine not getting enough gas. I run ethanol free gas in it religiously. Could I have a stuck intake valve because I have noticed a little bit of gas in the air filter before?...if so what do I do? I have no desire to get the engine rebuilt or take apart the valve cover with it being caught on fire so many times and end up not getting it to seal again or it be warped then having to source parts for it. Fuel line is mostly about 15 years old but flows freely and is in decent shape.
