Sbv355 tecumseh engine coil psrts
953 nut replied to Mikewheelhorse's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
What specific problem are you experiencing with the ignition system? It could be a matter of cleaning the ignition points or needing a condenser. The SBV 355 appears to be a replacement for the V 70 engine used in many models of Wheel Horse beginning in 1969. Ignition parts from the H 60 or other similar vintage Tecumseh engines would work just fine. Since the Tecumseh engines went out of production eighteen years ago you will probably need to look for aftermarket parts. The attached thread has some part numbers that may aid you in your search. -

Trina and I have quite the collection here as you know. Also, several other machines. Quite a few implements. As we were showing @Natejc_98 around, you could tell he knew he was... "in trouble." He even mentioned that going to @JCM Jim's Place in the fall was probably going to add to this.

1998 Tradewinds, Diesel Pusher Motohome
Pullstart replied to Pullstart's topic in non tractor related discussion
One of the last steps in this camper switcheroo of the last year, I’m heading to Pratt, KS to deliver the toy hauler. It’s 3 am and as soon as Norman warms up a bit it’s wheels up! -
New gaskets or old carb gaskets, I use a tiny bit of silicone gasket sealer. Never had one leak, and the excess wipes off easily after all the bolts get torqued. Just a little insurance...

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Blaine replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Adjusted the governor arm on the shaft so the governor is functioning now. Ran to Ace Hardware for a 1/2”x39” belt and a longer 7/16” x 3” grade 5 bolt that was needed to mount the 6908 drive pulley on the gear drive deck. I also grabbed a heavy spring that had similar specs as the 5185 spring in the RL-366 mower parts diagram. However the spring had an extra length hook on one end, which I figured was a bonus as i could shorten it to the length needed. Thanks to @Horseoholic for dimensions, i made a 5385 link from bar stock that goes between the spring and the idler. In the RL-367 destructions manual it says to attach the spring to the 7th hole in the frame. On this Raider, the 7th hole is the front hole of the tower, looking at picture in the RL-367 manual, the hole that the spring is anchored to is not there on my Raider. I made a tab 1-1/2” long with a hole to attach the entire length of the Ace spring to MY 7th hole. Since the Raider has footboards, the link and spring are hidden behind it. I had to trim the front footboard bolt 1/4” because it interfered with the link where it comes through on the back side, but it all works well. The belt keeper on the idler doubles as a boot guard. The shimmed drive pulley spins true and freely. If i’m thinking correctly, i may try moving the throttle spring down one hole at the governor so the governor allows a little more throttle up the hill. Seemed to be dropping a bit too much rpm before the governor takes over. I picked the deck up at the Big Show. I only pulled the gear covers off to have a peak, but i didn’t disassemble anything. Some axial play in the cross shaft, but i’ve run much worse. The right blade shaft woodruff needs replacing, not sheared but i can tell it’s worn pretty bad from the slop. Both blade shafts have some radial play, hoping the shafts aren’t worn too bad. Just need to finish out the season and i’ll replace all of the bearings before next year. Loaded it up with grease. It mowed, but it looked really skippy. I shut it down and checked. Sure enough, the right blade was on the left and the left was on the right. This is the second gear drive deck i bought like that. It cuts perfectly now with the blades on their correct sides. Need to order a rectifier yet and some trans seals. Brakes barely work at all on these old 3/6spds… especially backwards, on a hill, when the brake drum and band are saturated with gear lube. IMG_2076.mov -
There are several different ways to do it. What I did is in the following two threads: 523-H Whatchamacallit I'm sure I have more stuff somewhere. Just look those over and ask any questions. Don't forget you'll be changing from coil ignition to magneto, so you'll have to swap the ignition switch and wire it all up to whatever level of complexity you are comfortable with. My 523H has an hour meter, volt meter, and oil pressure guage only.

Welcome to Red Square https://www.partstree.com/models/sbv-sbv-355-tecumseh-short-block/engine-parts-list-0/ That is a short block vertical crankshaft. Do you know the original engine model? What does it power? -
Picked up the vanguard and unhooked a few minor things on the 520. @kpinnc got any build threads on the vanguard swap?

Wish I remembered who was making the new fenders. @WHX?? do you remember who was making them?

This is me on the 312-8 and my great niece (she was throwing candy from the cart) during our local Alumni Day/250th Parade, it was awesome! I was here for our bicentennial back in 1976, and now this Semi quincentennial in 2026, but I probably won't be around for the Tricentennial, but maybe my tractors will still be going! Hopefully this picture will come okay! C-85 -

Dash decal install
Achto replied to 1968Commando's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I used Terry's 3 piece decal on that dash. The cracks you see are some issue with the silver and clear coat that I used on the dash before I put the decals on. Did not show up until a year or 2 later. Not super noticeable so I have not addressed it. -
I'll be there Wed afternoon. Will be bringing a few tractors.
