    K series Kohler rotary? riding mower

    Looks like homemade tractor then? Many of them around here (more on the compact size), even 4x4,diy with heavy truck parts and diesel engines, good for around home chores. Old Kohlers are rare.
  3. My Troy Bilt seem to be tight in the joint it rotates on. It's adjustable may be loose or something worn. Mine is a later model I think tt's a 1989.

    65-42ms01 mower deck

    None of the parts drawings show a bottom seal on the 65 series. I had a 75 series dech and it doesn't show the seal either. Wheel Horse may have decided it wasn't needed. I change my 75 series deck to metric assenbles some time in the late 80's;

    what do i have here?

    I don’t think it would work for an 8n since they never had the option for remove hydraulics.

    520H vent mod

    @Lee1977 2 birds one stone takes care of the brace and belt gaurd..
  9. The 520's use the heavy-duty tie rods like a regular size tractor uses and you can find the replacement ends if the rod is still in good shape, probably find the whole tie rod also but don't know what the cost would be. The ones I have just needed the grease boots replaced because they looked so bad but everything else was still in good shape. The ones posted above are smaller and want work on the 520's.

    New Old stock

    Absolutely not and that's why it's just a theory for me. It seems odd that they put a grease fitting on something that has sealed bearings just makes you feel better that you go out and grease your mower. What is the grease fitting for
  11. 2 head bolts? Geesh. The K&B .20 nitro engine I used to run in my RC race boat had 6 bolts in the head. The crank was the weak point in this engine. It was hollow with a window in it to act as the intake valve as it rotated. It would grow fatigue cracks out of the window corners until it broke in two.

    what do i have here?

    That disc is a tow behind type disc with a hydraulic cylinder to adjust the ride height. It would be at home behind an 8n, which typically make 25 to 30 hp at the hitch.
  13. While doing a quote visit at an empty house in the middle of nowhere, I walked around the back corner of the garage and BAM !!!, mother and 2 cubs about 30-40 ft away. She turned and dropped her head and looked at me so I puckered real tight and bit a hole in my pants as a defense mechanism. Luckily she was just as startled as I was so she turned away and took off into the woods with the 2 cubs. It took me quite a while to get rid of the adrenaline shakes because she could've easily been on me before I got 3 steps. We've chased away black bears just by waving our arms and making noise but a mamma and her cubs that close could've been a disaster. This clip was on the net news feed today
  14. Today's progress so far has been welding up a cracked seat pan, putting the tranny on, putting the front axle on, putting wheels on it, cutting the top of the tower off because it was too tall, putting the fenders together and putting them on, measuring where to cut the too long steering shaf, and setting the little bits and pieces on it for mock up.
  15. I had a set of rusty old wheels I picked up a while back that need pressed into service now that I need to re-shoe the B-80. Decided to prep, paint, mount them, and then simply swap out the old ones. Although I do have a wire brush attachment that fits the weed wacker (and it does do some really mean grinding work), I opted to get the set of four sandblasted locally for $40 and forego the mess. I’ll use my lazy susan painting thingy to spin and spray them (once the humidity drops). Many here swear by inserting playing cards around the rim after mounting the tires and before a final spray to leave a nice clean finish unmarred by tools. I will be trying that or some similar masking technique. I hope to need nothing other than a set of tire spoons to mount the rims and will install tubes from the get go. Will post pics once done (could be a while but I do anticipate finishing up before @ebinmaine completes his Colossus project). For paint color, all I can say is: Good luck and have fun!

    Discovery? As much as I paid, you’d think I’d have the VIN memorized!
  17. I always just use a cordless drill with wire brushes to get it down to bare metal, after that clean well with acetone or similar residue free liquid to clean surface for primer. Rust-Oleum primer and then after that dries Rust-Oleum cottage white. Can also use a gloss clear if you wish. Sometimes if there is extra paint or lots of rust I will use a 4 1/2 grinder with a wire brush attachment to more quickly clean it up.

  20. These Kwik-Way weight boxes work well. You could add PVC pipe inside the box fastened upright with 2 hole galvy clips to support them. Will hold a lot of garden tools. These are somewhat rare to find but could be homemade with this design. Good luck

    wheel horse

    Looks like 2 U-bolts around the axle housings and 3 bolts into the pan on top. https://www.partstree.com/models/22-13ke01-252-h-toro-yard-tractor-1988/transaxle-0/
  23. I’m looking for the recommended process to restore old wheels from grinding to sanding to painting. Also what tools are preferred in the process?
