I said the steering pedestal was bad......
BPEisenhower replied to BPEisenhower's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I let the neighbor borrow it to mulch his leaves. He was on a hillside mowing and rolled it multiple times. He wasn't hurt but all that time is gone from all the work. Motor still runs and have an Automatic 12 it's going in. Lesson learned, next time, I'm loaning out a Murray or I will do it myself -
Thanks for the reply. Agreed, I will try the ultrasonic. I have never used one. After reading reviews about the one I bought, I am going to return it and order a different brand online. Reading that many of the chemicals used can damage aluminum if you do not know what you are doing. I have read that Simple Green Pro HD is aluminum safe and maybe a good choice for beginners. I spent a bit more time today with the carb. At first I still couldn't get the engine to run without the choke being closed. Then I remembered the new high speed adjustment needle that has a few extra holes in it. After installing it in the carb, I was able to adjust the carb with the choke wide open. It idled great but I couldn't get it quite right at high speed. it wanted to surge a little and was sluggish from idle to top end. So will try the ultrasonic cleaning and i guess followed up with a spray carb cleaner to get all the cleaning solution out of the passages. Thanks Charrie

That's a Briggs & Stratton.

I've seen tractors for sale like that before... the $7 "Rattle Rustoration". And then they tell you how hard it was to "match" the color fot the extra $100 they are overcharging!

It had an an engine, a Clinton B-1200.

After looking at the picture.. noticed it has an 8HP engine when tractor data link you posted states it came with a Kohler 7HP. Any idea what brand 8 hp engine on it in the listing?

Recitifer coil has nothing to do with spark and it is called a stator Multimeter set it to OHMs one clip on the wire from the Coil into the points one on Batt(-) As you slowly turn engine over by hand (Plug out makes it easier) you should go from infinity to a very low resistance reading. 2-4 ohm maybe -
I got lucky and stumbled upon one at a swap meet. Governor/Throttle disc 231329 K161 - Wanted - RedSquare Wheel Horse Forum If you post the engine model number and spec number, I can help you find the exact part number (there are several variations) Sounds like you may need a new governor spring as well.

and make a block off plate....or just leave the old pump in place...
-
Interesting it sold for that much without an engine. Wonder what that would have brought had it had all the parts you mentioned. Any document numbers on how many were made in 55?
-
have to remove some tins to get to the mounting bolts of the old pump?
-
Okay I know I’ve asked this question before but anyways I have a locking throttle well, it got messed up somehow I guess and now all the wheel does is spin on the stud, so I need a new throttle cable as well as a governor wheel with that little nibble thing that sticks out for better control, were is the best place to find one

My neighbor, @clean h2o, took down a nice buck on Thursday. Brought me over a nice steak last night. It was delicious but took a minute to adjust to eating meat with no fat.

Those pressed steel pulleys don't last forever anyway. I had a set worn so bad that when I got into heavy grass it just quit cutting.

Some of the 1974 and 1975 models brake where they are bolted to the side of the frame. It maybe they got bad metal, Chargers and Raider were made the same and as far as I know don't have that problem. They changed to bolting to the top of the frame in 1976. My 1977 C-120 cracked back into sheet metal that holds the shifter plate. -
I carry an Opinel knife made close to where my son lives in France. The two brown ones are #8. I just bought the orange one which is a #7 (It is a bit smaller and fits in the pocket better) last week when we were over there.

I have a miulti meter so that would be helpful and I am talking about the rectifier coil -
There are some very small passages inside the Carb. that may be plugged with that white oxidation. A dip in the Ultrasonic or the carb. cleaner is a must-do.
