I am doing an front axle conversion and need a complete set of tie rods for a 520H. If you have a set in good condition please let me know. Thanks, Scrusher

Picked up this little gem tonight...

Did you ever figure out what was wrong? -
I don't know what the tolerance on a bearing is, but in the world of sockets 3/4 of an inch is considered interchangeable with 19mm.

Need help with a c160 automatic that want start
wallfish replied to CNC's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
What did you do with the wires? Easier to jump the wires than remove safety switches. Battery ignition on a vintage C-160 would need those wires connected together to complete the circuit. Is there 12v to the small post on the solenoid when the key is turned to the start position? -
Thank you for the reminder. I don't weigh much and I'm not planning on pulling a plow or doing any heavy clevis hitch work with it. I do live in a hilly area though, so it's always good to have a reminder. Gravity does not give you a warning. The sliders came with the seat. It is a Vevor forklift seat. You have to try one. I personally think they are fantastic for the price.

Make sure she is running on 2 cylinders

I guess I will be one of the ones to disagree. Transmission frame and front axle are the same as bigger horses (ok front axle is bit narrower.) Only real difference is the size of the wheel/tires and the Techy 6 hp vs Kohler 7 or 8 hp. It will not pull a Moldboard plow or a tiller (well it will pull one of old self powered ones) or mid mount grader blade. ...but other than that it can plow snow, blow snow, mow grass and pull stuff. The replacement HH70 on my L-107 is 34 years old and has been used consistently since installation, the last 25 years 4 to 6 times a week in good weather 2 or so per week in the winter. . She is starting to smoke a bit on start up but when I use the recoil two pulls cold one hot. ...and she will pull away immediately no warm up required like some of my kohlers. And she is a lot easier to get on and off than her bigger brothers... Sorry I really like Ranger

Five more posts until we get to page 1000. Too bad it didn't line up that it be post 25000 too. -

I got my spare ram resealed tonight after dinner. I still have to reseal the hy-2 pump I bought last year, and then that set will go on the tractor before winter, but I can't find anything in the shop right now. Once I can move the lift and some other things to the new section that will improve. -
have this in Akron Ohio

When I worked at Advance if any of us had a dead or weak battery we would go through the core pile with the tester looking for one that was at least close enough to what we needed and would pass a test. Then we swapped it for our dead one. In three years nobody I worked with ever bought a battery. We changed them a few times a year, bit we never bought one.

Sometimes the operator manual has carburetor and governor info

Some manufacturing is being moved from China to other nearby countries to avoid tariffs, or they may be made in China and labeled in Vietnam. Lots of battery manufacturing move to Mexico in the 90s.

We have a Deka outlet only 15 minutes away. He sells ‘blems’ (functionally fine but blems in the case or lettering). Usually good pricing and they seem to last as long as any others.

Today was maintenance day. It's been steadily busy at work. I haven't had them out since the end of October. I charged the C-141's battery up as it was dead. I may have a short somewhere that I'll have to look into. I also pumped up the 308's and 312's left rear tires. I took the 308 for a spin as the left rear tire was starting to come off the bead before i added air. -

Looks great! thank you -
Some years ago on another brand mower with a B&S engine it was weak under loads. I tied a string directly to the throttle so I could give it a pull when I thought the governor shoulda been kicking in. Get on the hill, pull on string, throttle opens more, engine adds power. Governor linkage was in the wrong hole on the throttle actuator. (And yeah, it was me that put it together wrong in the first place)

If your Wheel Horse won’t start with the key, what should you do? Don’t panic, it happens to all of us. Don’t run out and buy a new ignition switch. Don’t rip out the wiring. Don’t loose your mind and give the tractor away because it is dead. S Systematic troubleshooting will isolate the cause of the problem. T Think about the last thing you did before the problem occurred. Many times we are our own worst enemies. O Once you calm down begin searching for the cause. P Plan your attack. One of the most common causes of a “won’t start with the key” is the PTO not being OFF. You may have been mowing and stopped to move something out of the way, get back in the seat and it won’t start The PTO switch is doing its job and preventing you from starting the engine with the PTO on. Is your transmission in neutral? Is your foot on the brake? These are easy things to overlook. Is your battery in good condition? A battery in marginal condition may start the engine the first time but not become recharged while using the tractor. Have the battery load tested at an auto parts store. Are your battery cables in good condition? Corrosion on the cable terminals can act as a huge resistor reducing the amount of voltage reaching the starter or solenoid to the point it will just click. This is also true for the ground cable too. If you hear clicking check for heat on all of the terminals, The one that is causing the problem will be hot due to the voltage drop. -

Good compression on each cylinder? Any signs of leaking head gaskets? Is it firing on both cylinders? What happens if you pull one plug wire? Does it die or stay running? I've seen that engine run surprisingly well with loose heads and leaking head gaskets. Also check for intake manifold leaks and a possible clogged exhaust. I have one here with loose baffles in the muffler. They can also suffer from loose valve seats like Onans.

No excessive workouts involved and you may even want to incorporate your Rock & Rye in tomorrow's commemorative day.

You can check the different IPLs, but I’m thinking that the 64-68 models all had the same hood.
