What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
CasaytheMann replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Those two blades look beat up. Have you checked them to see if they are balanced? -
Axle Rear Bracket? What is this?
8ntruck replied to Brockport Bill's topic in Implements and Attachments
Looks like a Tach-matic type latch mechanism. That dates it around 1970 - ish. -
It depends on the lube you use and how hard you work it. Don't overthink it. Pull the dipstick when you do any service. You'll know when to change it. If in doubt, do it.

Was that you I was mounting tires for Richard ... the A60 maybe and brand new ones split wide open? I was mounting the tires on the RJ -35 and used the original tubes since they were the old skool real heavy quality back then type. On one a very small leak... goll dang it... I threw some contact cement on it and stuffed it in. Not for highway use...

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Chris689 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
My 42RD is just barely audible over the engine noise with stock exhaust. The deck has a very mild hum. -
Almost done with cutting the tree up. I'm sure giving the 20v batteries some exercise.

Not quite a 1940 tho so who ever told you that is pullin your leg. Fairly common tractor around here and worth a couple of hundred. More in collector circles if it had the original motor. Rear tires make the value.

Axle Rear Bracket? What is this?
c-series don replied to Brockport Bill's topic in Implements and Attachments
I’ve never seen one like that before? It’s certainly well made and looks factory produced, I hope someone can tell us more about it! -

This afternoon I swapped a center spindle out as the idler swap didn’t change the noise from the deck. It is better but I’ll have to mow with it to see if anything changed. At least now I know the center spindle, and idler are greased and both seem to be good. The only other rotating parts are the two outer spindles which they’ll be the next thing to be swapped. I’m at least going to check them out and give them a good clean out if not swap them. I’m just curious though how much noise should these 3 blade 42”deck make? If it’s a hum I’d be good with that. Before I started swapping parts I couldn’t hear the engine at all over the deck. -
Somebody needs this!
-
Yeah, but I went and cleaned the carb, and tried rope starting again with no luck. I'm also struggling with my 502 that also has a H60. These Techys are a whole new ballgame
-
can someone please identify this rear axle bracket ? Toro or Wheel Horse ? Era? Tractor model it goes on? Part number? etc ? Thanks, Bill
-
You said you had fuel and spark in a post above. You do not need a recoil. There is a rope pull setup on the tractor in the picture when you pull it over do you feel compression?.. As pointed out above you need fuel, compression, and spark (at the right time.)
-
On the hydros, just leave the filter loose until you've got at least 4 qts back in it. That lets the air out. Never had to do that on an 8 speed. Air can escape from around the shifter.

16 auto
ineedanother replied to ineedanother's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Things add up quickly No oil pan gaskets on the shelf so I ordered two, I need solid mounts for the recently acquired c-161 and that isn't even in the shop yet, it needs wheel studs so ordered them from M-C and forgot to order head bolts for the 16 Auto so I'll pay shipping twice for that lack of paying attention. I was going to order a soft start for the electric clutch but I better slow my roll before the Colonel looks at the checking account One potential positive is that the valve lash was out enough to maybe account for some of the rough running. Intake .011 and exhaust .014. They look good and nothing else is concerning so I'll just lap and adjust them until there's a need to go further. -
The plumbers showed up today. Unloaded their mini excavator and waited for all of the utilities folks to mark where their various pipes and wires are located - none of which were in the area where the digging was going to take place. But, tis the law, and better to be safe than sorry. About 6 1/2 feet down, the sewer pipes were located. Big soggy soft spot around the house trap. The trap (clay piece) appeared to have a crack on the inlet side. Lots of buildup in the pipes, suggesting a slow flow for some time. The house trap is now gone, replaced with about 7 feet of 6" PVC and a clean out tee. Back fill is scheduled for tomorrow.

I have a rebuild kit coming for the mechanical fuel pump. Meanwhile, I ordered this electric fuel pump and installed it today. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Mirco-Electric-28-GPH-2-3-5-PSI-Gasoline-Fuel-Pump-With-Filter,462798.html It works wonderfully!! I mounted it under the gas tank, attached to the metal tray there. It mounted nicely across that tray. I used some rubber grommets to cushion the mounting points, powered it from the + terminal of the coil, and grounded it at a bolt on the tower, just in front of the choke lever. I had a nice crimp-on, in-line fuse holder that originally had a 20A glass fuse in it. I put an 8A in its place. (No room for pics at the moment….. I need to delete some older ones, then I’ll post some here.) Very pleased with this installation. Thank you for the advice and the encouragement.

What is my 1940’s Wheel Horse worth?

Looks like a 1961 model 401 or 551 to me. -
PTO Switch on Classic GT 315-8
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to John A's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
The pto switch gets it's power from the No Mow in Reverse module. I should rephrase that - gets it's power from the ignition switch but the NMR module controls the pto clutch. There is a test procedure for the switch. Click on the picture of it. Module test proceedure- 1 reply

Thank you all, it was a great day today. Went and got a fresh 6 gallons of gas and spent some good quality time with my 416-H, regardless of any other machine that I get this one is by far my favorite! The family got me a nice lift kit and fancy wheels and tires for the golf cart so it is looking spiffy, then onto Texas Roadhouse for a fantastic Prime Rib dinner, and spent some nice quiet time with my little guy, couldn’t have been a better day!
