This is good start for new beginning -
What model wheel weights are these?
DBlackston replied to Ian928's topic in Implements and Attachments
So are the D-series and non D- series weights exactly the same minus the notch or are there other differences in design or weight? Seems the D-series weights would mount to any 12" wheel horse wheel but not vice versa. Just looking at the pictures in this thread the D-series has 2 mounting holes and the others have 4. That seems counterintuitive but I wonder what else is different. -
Darn. Figured you would of went with the classic

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. It was short-sighted of me to assume the case could handle the load. Didn't really investigate thoroughly enough, got caught up trying to make the mount work. It's great, actually when I run into things like this. Reminds me to keep a curious and critical mind when doing fab work. Sometimes I get too comfortable.
-
Great visual. Thank you. I will relocate and redesign and keep the weight to a minimum on the hitch pin.

If you get stuck, someone will ask "are you stuck?" Nope, just camp n!

Seems to be the thing lately ...

Next thing you know we got a bunch of blonde bombers running around the Horse barn!

Late to the party but here goes... This years prep procedure..... Blow leaves one last time before snow. Repower the snow machine, the old shaker plate Kohler was smoking & burning oil, time for a K341 big block. Tighten up steering, new thrust washers on spindles. Replaced the snowblower with one I've been saving, the old one only lasted 45 years. Just had to switch over the power chute control. ( The JD box was used to catch crud I scraped off the frame ). Ready to go... Procrastinate till it snows, take the CJ out to get at the plow for the truck, ( photo op Lol ). Put plow on truck, put the CJ back. Wait for our fun Thanksgiving snow storms & give her a workout! Ready for another 45 years.

My first Wheel Horse was my 310-8. I worked the crap out of it for over a decade. Rebuilt the engine and did it again. Now it has morphed into a 414-8, and it's still my most trusted worker. You did good. Your tractor is a solid machine with none of the electrical issues of it's higher end brethren. Also the 10hp Kohler has great power and no balance gears to worry about. Enjoy it!

In a twist of "rugged" mentality, it's not thin necessarily- but is the thinnest part of the case. The hitch you are using can pull a great deal of weight, but the tongue weight pushes up on the thin part. Any "bounce" on the hitch can break the case. The case below isn't broken, but you can see the thin part just in front of the hole the hitch pin goes into.

I've done nothing with my Wheel Horse all week. It's cold and we have no snow. Maybe after next week.
-
Oh ok. Thank you for the info.
-
Hair dye bottles work well for this.

If you hold your palm over the air inlet and crank it over, does your palm get wet?
-
bahh, I’m used to it!
-
With the key switch. You will not be able to spin it fast enough by hand for the pump to work.

PM sent.

Ya beat me to it!

So to clarify.. I am to unhook the fuel line after the fuel pump but BEFORE it gets to the carb to see if fuel pump clogged, not letting enough or any fuel through? Without the spark plug In, for less resistance. Am I to crank the engine over with the key in ignition or by hand manually?
-
Here ya go:

So it was running but quit. Before you throw money at it, confirm the problem. You have already confirmed that you have spark. Compression is hard to test because your engine has a compression release, that is active until your engine reaches a certain RPM. Remove the fuel line that goes from the fuel pump to the carb, remove the spark plug so that the engine will spin over easy, put some fuel in the tank, crank it over & see fuel squirts out of the pump. If you are getting fuel there, then hook the fuel line back up to the carb, remove the float bowl, crank the engine over & see if fuel squirts out of the bottom of the carb. If this is all good then remove the carb & clean it. There is no main jet, the adjustment screw is an emulsion tube. Make sure all the holes in it are clear when you cleaning.

I'm Not Sure Why, But I Now Have a B-80
BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Third times the charm? Does the regulator case need to be grounded? Yeah, I've experienced DOA parts myself. It's frustrating but unfortunately it's the way things are now. This regulator is sold by DB Electrical who I believe has a pretty good reputation. Unfortunately I won't know until the 20th. Thanks for the help. -
Here's a third option.
