Pearl Harbor Day
MainelyWheelhorse replied to SylvanLakeWH's topic in non tractor related discussion
My Great Uncle was in Pearl Harbor and would tell the story of his escape from what I believe is the West Virginia, to any who listened. Much like 9/11 people remembered where they were on that day. May we never forget. -
What is the spec number on the engine?

We added CO detectors when my wife started having dizziness and balance issues. Turned out to be an inner ear problem, but I realized at the time that it was stupid not to have a detector in the first place - as all of our appliances are gas. Glad your Grandson was able to intervene and save everyone from grief!

Large collection of parts not selling separately

Pictures will greatly help you with the sale of your items. As per forum rules, you must include a price. -
Picture of the scene. Reeds house is on the right side of the street out of the picture.

The engine is a Kohler CH22s and it’s running rich, time to replace the carburetor. Local Toro dealer if I recall correctly quoted me around $150 for a new carburetor. Not available on the Toro or partstree sites. I looked on eBay and I think I’m seeing a bunch of aftermarket made across the ocean. I’m terrible with carburetors so I’m not going to rebuild mine. Anyone have the part number for one?

I have a couple more pictures of the frame hooked up and front view showing the blade up.

Drive pulley diameter: manual vs hydro
kpinnc replied to wh500special's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Been months since I had several hours of tinker time. If I can squeeze 30 minutes in every week or so I call it "mental health time". And you are correct, it is fun! And just for giggles, if you have to, the sleeves that make up 1/8 inch to use a pulley on a 1 inch shaft work very well. It comes with a taller key so the fit is nice and snug. I've used them on several Vanguard repowers. Ebay or Amazon has them for cheap in stainless steel. -
It works! 😄

Side shot Saturday... AND SUNDAY !

See? See? A properly organized garage. Not the chaos you saw in mine! Or the 22 you didn't see in a worse mess in my barn! 😁 -
My 1971 Bronco had a OEM filter when I got it around 2004, so it may have never been changed. That Sundstrand hydrogear still has ATF in it and it is the fastest and strongest hydro like it that I've seen so far. My FILs Charger is a 1972 and is nearly as fast. Also always had ATF in it as far as I know. I've been inside the Bronco transmission, and it was not only spotless but it had zero visible wear. I've always attributed this to ATF- but I'll never know. So the answer to your question has already been said: with proper use and maintainence, these old transmissions last decades.

Drive pulley diameter: manual vs hydro
wallfish replied to wh500special's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Yeah it can be. I don't get any where near as much tinker time as I used to. -
If, and it's a big if- traction can somehow be maintained then a ZTR would be an effective snow pusher.

This problem (looking for the right pulley) might have taken care of itself… the GT1142 wouldn’t crank fast enough to start tonight and the carburetor was leaking gas pretty bad, the fuel lines from the rear were rock hard and broke when I messed with them, and the valve fell right out of the bottom of the tank when i went to open it. Rather than fix all this, I think the 11-hp Briggs might come off of there and donate its pulley to a little 7-hp Yanmar I have and which should fit right under the hood. The engine has its own tank so I can abandon everything else. This gets dad back to diesel only for the time being. I love Briggs engines. Usually they can sit for years and fire right up with just a splash of fresh gas. No points. This one is being stubborn. The one on the GT2500 fired first crank after I took out the battery from 2009 and replaced it. Sucker has been sitting untouched at least 15 years. This was the first day I spent puttering around with these tractors in years. Was kind of fun. Steve -
1967 lawn ranger seat
702854boy replied to clueless's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Yes, I think the holes in the tranny would still be there, they are there on our 1257 and the lawn ranger is basically just a mini version of the bigger Wheel Horses. -

clueless replied to clueless's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Sorry, I'm dyslexic, meant 1967. -
Plumbers putty works as a bolt holder. I think that's how I got the fuel tank mounted in the 953.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
wallfish replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
That, or you coulda just used that thin part to set your points! LOL You got your money's worth outta that one -
All depends on how they were used or abused. If well maintained the Sundstrand and Eaton 1100 will continue to operate for several more decades.
-
I have had good results by welding a nut to the broken bolt. Try to get as much penetration in the bolt as possible.
-
I have had a couple Sundstrands get weak. Never had a problem with the Eaton 1100s.

Handy Don replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Is there a reason why it wasn’t mounted to wear perpendicular to the mounting holes? -

WHX?? replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
A snow shoe needed repairing and I need to practice my welding. Laid piece over it and buzzed away. Didn’t get a pic when done ... . Actually didn't do the worst considering my welding skills suck. -
I Think This Group Might Be Bad For Me - Meet My New B100 Automatic
BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
That's a valid concern, especially in a aluminum. -
I, and a majority of Americans, will never grasp the suffering that our service men and women went through in Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. I've been to Hawaii three times and always make a trip to the Arizona Memorial. Very humbling to be standing there and and try to take in what it was like to be there that Sunday morning. My wife has a tradition of anonymously paying for a military personnel's meal if she see them in uniform. Someone bought our son's meal and she does this in honor and remembrance of him.
