I've used those heaters for years on my Power King hydraulic tank. Never a problem with them getting too hot

@CD Long Jr hello mr long , thank you for that ! when ever I picked up a used engine , typically smoking and neglected , do an " oil " check . like mud and smoking badly . drain it out , like a multi weight for flushing , and of course rislone zinc , as per bottle specs , just let it run and warm up , the initial heavy smoke , starts to lessen , snoop around drop carb bowl , also loaded , found it best to go easy on the transition , but it really does not take long for the VARNISH ENCRUSTED RINGS , to respond to flushing . since doing that , have been using rislone , none of my engines smoke at all , sound and respond very well to anything asked . very easy to try , above all its the thorough engine flushing , and very quiet engine operation , under load . operational running ease , is amazing , like the engines are not struggling at all , also use , sta bil in all my gas , no debris in fuel filters , what is that telling you ? good talking , thanks , pete

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
CD Long Jr replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Well let's see, I put up the WD40 & got PB Blaster. I aired the tires up to get her off the trailer. All the valve stems are on the inside. Is that normal or has someone rotate them for a wider stance? Only 1 has a 90-degree adapter on the valve stem. Rolled her off the trailer and applied the brakes. No brakes. thank God for 96-gallon trash cans or I might have ended up in the shed. Parking brake doesn't work, (lock), either. Removed deck & mule drive. Finaly figured out and unfroze the quick attach pins. I think she's sat a heck of a long time. Mule drive adjuster is frozen & the black knob just turns so I assume the roll pin the holds it in place is rotted. I had to remove the clips & pry the arms off the adjuster to get the belt loose. The bar on the PTO won't move front to rear or up & down enough to get the belt off. Do I remove the big nut on the mule to get the belt out? Busted the rubber cover on the dash side of the choke cable, but now it's easier to get PB down the cable to try to free it. Got all the deck pulleys and deck spindles to turn. I assume it's a 42-inch deck. Otherwise, everything' just peachy. -

I took a closer look at the linkage for the parking brake and it does have some slop in it. The attached picture shows a little bit of wear in the stud on the parking brake lever. Compared to some pictures I found while searching, this one doesn't look all that bad. I've also included a short video showing the Brake Lever Slop in the parking brake linkage. The video doesn't show it too well but the arm with the pin does move up and down a little bit. Are there ways to tight up the slop or do I live with it? In order to help troubleshoot, would it be beneficial to hold or clamp the brake lever a little lower than where it is currently being pushed to by the brake lever? Or does that make any sense at all? -

@Bar Nuthin parking to close to wood pile not a good idea -
I had forgotten about Rislone. Had 2 Shelbys, 67 GT350 & 68 GT500. Used it in both of em. Thaqank you!

Some folks like flames on certain vehicles. Some don't. Me personal-like. It depends on the mo-chine. This'n... Yessir. I like it. IMHO those wheels need to be a solid dish like the old steelies or whatever. I do like the chrome wheels on a tractor. -
Cleaning the breather may help the oil consumption.

There are several good options mentioned here, and hopefully one of them gets you through winter. That being said, it would be a good idea to do a leak down test. Compression checkers won't work due to your engine having internal compression release. Just from how that plug looks, you may have some blowby that is robbing torque. Might need a rebuild, but could also be leaky valves.

Decided ol' Johnny needed spruced up a bit, so I slapped a quick paint job on him. AI paint job, that is. -
Looking at one of these and it appears to be about the same physical size but says it goes up to 400*. Do y'all think that would be too hot to place on oil pan like above? Can you report on your experince since purchase @Retired Wrencher.

The engine may be able to provide enough power to push the snow but a splash lubricated should NEVER be run at low RPMs except at shutdown. If an original carburetor is unable to be adjusted it has one or more small openings plugged. the main needle has several small passages that must be clear for throttle good response. Check out this thread from @T-Mo, also @ebinmaine has some good threads on carbs.

If it is a later model HC, it’ll have reduction steering (needing two full turns of the wheel lock-to-lock vs. one full turn on standard steering). It makes a huge difference when moving slowly or with heavy front loads.

Detailed electrical schematic for 1972 GT – 14 tractor
pfrederi replied to Mike.s's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
If you r GT-14 has a breakerless igniton (look for a triangular shaped coil that feeds the spark plug ) you have to use the magneto wiring above. -

953 nut replied to Mike.s's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
If your GT-14 has battery powered ignition with points and a condenser the wiring has been modified which is no problem, many have been rewired. We would need some information from your present ignition switch unless you plan to replace it. There should be a number on it like 103-990 ore something along those lines. If you can't find a number on it perhaps you could do a drawing of the switch with the letters that are stamped on the tabs the wires are connected to (or on the body next to them). With that information we will be able to present you with a wiring diagram. Your drawing should look somewhat like the ones below. -

All of this stuff would be in the Kohler manual. did not provide manuals for the engines. They relied on the engine manufacturer to provide this info. https://resources.kohler.com/power/kohler/enginesUS/pdf/tp_2379.pdf -
I have never operated a loader on anything smaller than a compact John deer. I have been curious about the steering with the loader on a horse. Although my hc steers fine with the 2 stage hanging out front!

Duck tape your rear to the sled or better yet tape the camera to your head. Then give us a ride from the top.
