Finished the wheels..C-145
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Sparky-(Admin)'s topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Yeah, for sure it’ll mess up the rear wheel paint. But she’s just a worker and I need to keep that in mind -

Almost too nice to hide them with weights..... -
The original tool boxes on farm tractors were not water proof...some after market ones may be...

Finished the wheels..C-145
Sparky-(Admin) posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Slowly cleaning up and prepping this C-145 for winter snow chores. Wheels and tires are done! Rears are Carlisle All Trails in 23x8.0x12 Fronts are Carlisle in 18x6.50x8 -
It is a Commando V8, as in Vertical, right??

An 8x10 Tarp works wonders with a few Bungie Cords...

Afternoon, Wondering if the Tractor toolboxes I’ve seen on brands such as Ford 8N on YouTube videos… were they rainproof from factory? Or no.. just not ment to Be out in the rain in general?

The same on my K161 on the 701. Also same on another running K161 off a 701 that I have that came from @squonk a few years ago, at big show. I just assumed all K161's where located there, learn sumin new every day. Now the oil drains on the 856 and 857 with the K181's I have are located where @Racinbob's is.

417 XT drive belt routing
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to jhetcel23's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
You will not find an 86-3/4" belt anywhere except from Toro and their $134 ticket from Parts Tree is nuts. I would be tempted to go to a farm store and get a Kevlar 1/2" x 86" belt and try it. -
Those were packed with Bentonite (sp) grease. If you want a stinky mess on your hands, open one up!

I'm getting rid of my old tractor and wagon. Was running fine 3 months ago. Now no spark? Could be something easy. All mowing gear has been removed. Just a tractor and wagon. Wagon is in great shape. Any more questions please email me at jgw3111@aol.com, or wondsel94@gmail.com. Comes with spare starter, came with it. I am trying to make some room in my shed, and I don't have the expertise to diagnose and repair. I believe it is a 1968 or 69 year??

New To Me A-60
SylvanLakeWH replied to WHX??'s topic in Wheel Horse Electric / Battery Powered Tractors
As I understand it, those are grease packed transmissions. I ran across a post somewhere about adding regular 80/90 gear oil to address the probability of solidified grease after 50 years... not brave enough to try it. @953 nut ring a bell? -
The bearing noise is there so you can tell it's turned on over the roar of Wild Bill on the P.A.!
-
Yes I know his kickstart is a repower.. just haven’t ever seen or heard of any Wheelhorse or any tractor ever using a kickstart engine before. Interesting idea that works great for his Wheelhorse. thank you for the helpful breakdown and taking the time to write it out.

It's not a good picture but you can see the street elbow. It looks like it's 3/8" npt into the pan and reduced to 1/4" npt. Most likely I was using what I had on the shelf. EZ Oil Drain Valve > EZ Oil Drain Valve | The Easiest Oil Change Solution Buy Fumoto® Valve Online | Replace Oil Drain Plug These are the two brands I've used. That's an EZ Drain on the 854 but I have a slight preference for the Fumoto. There's not much difference. That's a K161 on my 854 and the drain was in the back. Every install is going to be different but I've never seen one that couldn't be worked out.
-
You may want to rethink that , the IGNITION COIL is doing that, not the condenser (Capacitor) it protects the point from an arc.
-
I'd be interested to see a picture of the elbow and valve. On my K161, the drain plug is on the PTO side of the engine. I've not figured out a good reroute that doesn't interfere with the deck belt and idler.

I Think This Group Might Be Bad For Me - Meet My New B100 Automatic
Bar Nuthin replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I would say it does need split - or at least it would if it saw much more use as the whining noise has slowly increased over the summer. My plan is to put new bearings throughout. -
Belts DO NOT STRETCH. They are made like car tires with embedded cords. Belts DO have their sides wear down which allows them to ride lower in the pulleys and appear longer. I cannot say if that belt is correct (either in length or profile) or if there is some mechanical issue, but that belt is definitely too loose! Even if the belt came with a sleeve that had the correct spec, it is possible that the belt itself doesn’t match the sleeve! A good auto parts store will be able to measure the belt length and confirm the profile and identify excess wear (if the labeling on the belt itself is not visible).
-
Just noting here that some early S/G K181s (and possibly other engines?) predate the compression release mechanism to help with starting. Instead, they use a mechanical system to retard the spark past TDC until the engine is running. On these, a static timing check is not definitive but setting the points gap is the same.
-
Here is a video of how loose the belt is. It is a 87 inch belt 20261024_112908~2.mp4

Geo and Trig is OK, but Leonhard is way over my pay grade.
-
The belt seems like its really loose or already stretched. Lots of play on it.
