Better pics of the rest after I unloaded the truck this evening. Has some issues here and there. Fuel system needs totally gone through, did the carb and fuel pump and drained the old gas. Fuel bowl needs replaced. Hopefully get it finished and running tomorrow. Not sure if the plow is WH? Thoughts on that? The hood doesn't fit quite right add I think I see why......

2026 Big Show Buy/Sell/Trade Thread
702854boy replied to Pullstart's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
I'll have to be careful not to end up like this guy -
I have two tables, one I built years ago to work on tractors and then I bought a lift table from Harbor Freight. The first one I built so I could roll it under my workbench when it’s not in use. The second one I made a wider top out of plywood and painted it. Obviously it’s adjustable in height. I don’t really use my original one for tractors anymore now that I have the lift table, but I do use it as a roll around workbench occasionally. As far as the height goes it’s hard for me to pick one because with the adjustable table I use different heights depending on the task at hand. I have a bad back and I’ve said it before, I should have bought the Harbor Freight table years ago. It’s not a terrible amount of money ( I think about $500 ) and it’s a game changer for me.

I did some welding on a hot day last summer wearing short sleeves and my long-cuff gloves. The arc gave me a good sunburn on my arms between the gloves and shirt sleeves. I did have on my apron to be sure my legs didn’t get any surprises.

Got about half of my old pool area sand loaded and hauled to the back of my property, using a trailer, shovel and the C-141. Sure makes the idea of a FEL appealing. Funny, I was just contemplating how to fab a set of small forks to attach to a snowplow frame. Nothing major - just for moving things like mower decks, rear ends, etc. from my shop out to the shed.

That is DJ Harrison on the tractor, @hcminis.

Unfortunately the wheels don't turn but I can push the truck around that it is sitting in and make engine noises...

C160 Hydro dipstick being stubborn!
DLF replied to Gary S Minnesota's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
It does get easer after it has been forced on a few times. The rubber seal gets so hard you can't force it on with the pull handle. It's for when you have work to do, you can get the cap back on and go get it done. -
Yeeouch!!! Thanks for the reminder!

Regarding Kohler K series rear oil seal p/n 4703207: I found that NAPA has a seal that says it replaces that part..... NAPA Part #: SME 704003 NAPA seal, replacement for Kohler 4703207 I have one coming Saturday..... priced today at $7.71. I'll report back when I get it installed to comment about the fit...... then follow up later when I get some run time on it. (I had an oil leak on my Cub Cadet 123 that has a K301 in it. This will also apply to my Wheel Horse C160, and will apply to any K series engines that use 4703207)

That's off a 417-A. I had one just like it on my 417-8. Should fit M18, M20 engines as well.

I’d probably start pushing it around like a matchbox car and making engine noises…..😁

D-200 Hydraulic up and down stops
tractorhogg replied to tractorhogg's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Okay I adjust the rear lift brackets (screwed them in) and it no longer hits the outside panel, this may solve the down position as well as unless i push the rear lift cylinder down hard enough to slightly raise the the rear of the tractor (bad for traction). It really appears now that the fluid weeping is still coming from the swivel union I attempted to epoxy. I think putting the new NOS hose on will fix my issues, fingers crossed. BTW, after looking at the manual the pivot bracket doesn;t need to be turned around, but I still may flip it upside down after I see where the bracket hits the hose connection. You would think after 8 eye operations I could see better out of at least one eye -
I just had the same experience with this C101 I've got, shift boot all but gone, transaxle seal leaking, I did a diesel flush, then followed that with 2qts of cheap 10w30 I'll let that run in there for a few hours of actual use then drain/refill with 90wt

Use a step bit. Drill out the tube just a bit and it'll slip back in but still stay tight like it's supposed to. Then there's no tools required afterwards. Shove a paper towel or something down in there first to keep the plastic from falling in and I run a shop vac to suck them up while drilling. Just go slow and test it each time. You could probably heat up that tube and use the step bit as a flaring tool without drilling too -
I got some seat time on the GC1720 today. I used the FEL to take several large, heavy items off of what is left of the deck and placing them on the utility trailer for a trip to the storage locker. Today's project about justified the purchase price since I didn't have to wrassle the items down the 4 steps to get them off of the deck. I'm seriously considering a set of forks for this thing. Deck is now clear and ready for further demolition. Muscle memory for the 2 pedal hydrostatic drive is improving. I only stabbed the forward pedal once with my right foot instead of pressing the brake with my left foot. For now, I'm only running the engine at 2000 rpm until I get smoother on the controls.

Definitely, and a reminder until it heals up fully every time you bump it.

you wouldn't happen to know if this would fit a 520 with the p220 Onan would ya?

Without up and done stops and the pivot bracket in the right position the center link will hit the rear panel in the up or rod out position and the pivot bracket will hit the hose and cylinder in the down position, any ideas?

Waiting on an oil pan gasket to start much reassembly but the head bolts came today so I thought I would go ahead and start on some of that. Blocked the head on granite with some 320 grit. Nice and flat . Chased the threads in the block, adjusted the valves and reassembled the breather. I'll wait to torque the head until it's back on the frame. It's just easier when it's not sliding around on the bench. - Yesterday

I have a rotisserie for doing body work and some disassembly and assembly tasks. You can swing it around until you get to a comfortable position.
