Wheel Horse Paint Recommendations
WildHorses replied to nylyon-(Admin)'s topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The best paint I've found is Rust-oleum Satin Black, you can't tell it from the Factory finish. This tractor has all OEM paint but the front black I had to redo because of several large scratches. -
Maybe not. There was a smaller drive pulley on the early PTO kits.
-
Some old pics i found of the “hay maker”. I don’t normally mow wet grass, but when it rains for days and the forecast doesn’t look any different…
-
Someone probably replaced the ignition module but never properly torqued the flywheel bolt when they put it back together. Someone else on here had the same problem. Does the flywheel bolt have the correct thick washer with it?
-
This was on FB. Pretty cool upgrade for a 704! I wonder about the drive pulley, it’s gotta be a bit large too!
-
That flywheel had definitely spun before and probably because someone put a little woodruff key in there. I don't see that as being the end of that shaft though. Just put the proper key in it and it will hold. I'm no Onan expert and barely know them but most every other engine uses a taper fit lock instead of relying solely on a key to hold them in place for a reason. That's a straight shaft fit so the long key is definitely required
-
That’s the plan, I hope.
-
you guys are a lot more knowledgeable than I am but I sure would clean it up good and try it. just my though.

-
That crank is pretty beat!! @lynnmor what do you think. Is it salvageable?
-
Some great info in this thread and can't wait to hear about that big smile when @PWL216 gets it running again. I really like that P220 hum. If it hasnt been mentioned already would definitely decarb, check 2 piece manifold, clean carb and adjust/inspect valves why you have tore down this far.

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse
ebinmaine replied to rjg854's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
That was one of my first firewood processing tool build projects. It's made of old posts recycled from a deck I built years ago and tore down less years ago. The trailer has had at least 3 axle setups that I recall. Its current iteration seems to work well. Big enough to hold quite a load and not too big for the heavy Cinnamon Horse to pull. A lighter weight tractor would be much less useful. I've been considering adding width to the vertical posts but it works well right now. -
Washed the furnace filter, did a couple loads of laundry, mowed the lawn with Morgan, after putting new anti scalp rollers on, picked up a pile of sticks & acorns my wife had raked up, carried a bunch of stuff out to the new A Liner camper, and pumped the accumulated rain water out of the pedal boat and washed it. Oh, walked the dog and took a short swim in the lake. Waiting for foil dinners to cook now.

Needed some bushes removed, have a 520 serviced and ready for sale, figured why not -

Agreed. The crank is gouged pretty well

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
8ntruck replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I installed new rear anti scalp rollers on my 42" SD deck. No bushings needed in the new rollers, as they have a 1/2" bore. Rounded edges on the rollers too - should cut down on the axial load on the snap rings that retain them. No, I didn't have my phone with me so no pictures. Y'all are just going to have to believe me! -
Agreed. Part of the key is supposed hold the trigger wheel in time. Pull the key and post a picture please. Pretty sure it's sheared. If you look at the picture of the crank trigger wheel the notch for the key is at the top, not in line with the keyway. I think we found the problem. You'll need a new key and maybe a new crank trigger wheel. Key is PN 515-0284
