It's a runner! Wiring isn't 100% done. Going to try to get that finished up tomorrow. It still needs tuning but I may have to do that at Pullstart's.

You should have been soaking it with penetrating oil since you owned it.

Are you sure it's DETERGENT SAE 30? Seems to cheap even of they aren't going to carry it anymore. I bought a gallon of Rotella 30W at the WaWa today . -

The hub cap has 4 clips that “bite” into the rim -

Good day for changing oils and putting the snow blower and plow tractors away for the year. And getting the Commando 8 ready for mowing duties. -
856 heavily corroded hubcap removal advice
sqrlgtr replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Not original but it does have one of the later plastic mechanical pumps on it. The PO had installed it but works great so far. -
I do as described above, with one extra step. I do two cuts about 30 degrees apart, using the tip of the sawzall blade. Stop when you see the threads in the blobk. Clamp onto the small section - lift & wiggle it out to remove. Now crush the large portion, twist it counter clockwise to remove it. Now the part that really matters - clean the block threads. A pipe tap works best - used by hand. A small wire detailing brush will work but takes a lot longer. All this with the exhaust valve closed. Then blow it out with compressed air - a computer keyboard duster can works great for this.
-
If the engine runs, fire it up and get it hot. Also try tightening too. Once it moves (if it moves) go back and forth tighten loosen with a little more loosen each time.
-
What Paul said above is the most popular method of removing the old pipe. I use a Sawzall with a fine-tooth metal cutting blade at low speed.
-
Several methods none easy. Cut the nipple off 1/2" from the block the nuse the sawsall inside the nipple cut down until you just see the threads showing then collapse it a bit with a hammer and chisel . then it should come out. make sure the exhaust valve is closed and vacuum out the shavings.

856: Facet fuel pump mounting help
Mike'sHorseBarn replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Took a screenshot from a YouTube video for you to look at @VinsRJ put his pump under the tank on his 857 project. That would be a much better spot. -
These guys have you well covered with it being a 702. Looks like a good candidate to keep original.
-
Get you a couple brass elbows and you can mount it up front. I do suggest you use the included filter that comes with the pump. I made a small L shaped tab and used one oil pan bolt to secure mine on the Bronco.
-
Low is good, but I've always heard closer to tank, and push not suck. Interested to see what others say.
-
Oh wow I didn’t think it could be mounted that far from carb and that high up.. I was recommended before to mount it low on tractor frame somewhere beneath carb
