What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Brockport Bill replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
i always thought my 37 SD on my 312-8 was terrific cut - - maybe the 2 blade design, or the lift attachment on the one blade -- but it sure leaves nice cut - and the 12 Kohler always enough power -
Swapping early Sundstrand for later Sundstrand: Yes/No?
kpinnc replied to BradKahler's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Yes it is. Stay with the Sundstrand. -
Standard 7.5 inch Wheel Horse wheels will accept most any 10.50 wide turf tire. Ag cleats of the same 10.50 (actual) width on the other hand can be troublesome on 7.5 wide wheels. The bar treads force all the flex to the sidewalls on some tires and make clenching the bead tough without tubes. Better to use 8.5 (like 520 wheels) or wider wheels for these. So 23x10.50-12 turfs (or any non-bar tread) should be good.

They can be a pain, but well worth it when replaced. -
Some background, the home is over 100 years old. It belonged to my parents and then my brother. I grew up there. My brother passed in January and now I have to sell it for the estate. Half of the basement is a 6' to 4' crawl space. some of it has a vapor barrier and the lower end doesn't it is dirt. The other half is concreted but old, say it was done 75 years ago by my father. City water and sewage. My brother kept the home in real good to great condition. He was single and a bit frugal but did a lot of nice updates to the home. @wallfish I did find that state website. It has a lot of info. It listed all the certified state installers and testers by county in pa. @rmaynard that was a real good example of how it works. crawl space pic

"Blackbeard"--Zach's GT-14
PeacemakerJack replied to PeacemakerJack's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Gotta record this here for the future! Our garage has been a mess too long and so today was the day to do spring cleaning! Zach got home from work and jumped right in to help. He had been “dying” to check out/us the WH wagon. I have had it standing up next to the wall for the last 5 years or so. Zach has no memory of riding in the wagon even though he has on a couple of occasions. now he is begging me to restore it. I told him that he has several other projects to finish and then he can do this one. He told me that when he has his own place someday he wanted to buy this from me. I told him that it’s not for sale—and I could tell he was disappointed (I generally don’t sell stuff to my kids). I said, “if you want it that much, it’s yours when you have your own place with a garage or shed to keep it inside…”😎🙌🏻 after all—he is the only one of my four kids that has owned a Wheel Horse since he was three years old and restored it when he was nine💪🏻 He even used the custom @Achto hitch pin to pull it around…thanks again @19richie66 for the sweet Blackbeard decal—looks really cool on there! Another chapter in the Zach/blackbeard story📖 -
I have 42 inch rear discharge. Prefer 42 inch can be rear or side discharge.

Side shot Saturday... AND SUNDAY !
PeacemakerJack replied to Sparky-(Admin)'s topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Although I have pictures of Zach in and on this wagon they are from about 6 years ago and he has no recollection of it. We were doing some massive garage cleaning/organizing tonight and he was super excited about the wagon…so I let him hook up Blackbeard and haul burnables to the fire pit! He was in his element! -
Thanks for replies. I will give it a look tomorrow. I bought this mower few years ago sat in a persons shed for years never ran. I brought home worked on it and brought it life. Runs good. One day I was backing up and the control lever went to full forward on its own. Something gave. Knocked me over backwards out of seat. and the mower off it went and stopped on top of old drag i have. Banged my head and back little sore luckily I didn't get real hurt. I put the mower away been meaning to fix it. There seems to be no tension on the control lever. Just goes to fast forward. Almost like its spring loaded. Thanks for replies.

Mowed all my parent’s lawn with the 312. It powered through with only one stop to tighten the mule drive. The PTO went bad on their mower so it had been a week since it was mowed. The grass is growing like crazy with our odd weather for the time of year lately. I also recruited the 308 for them to use if they need to. Just a little grease in the mule drive and a once over to check it over as my test after I put the deck on had a new noise up front. After it’ll be good to go. -

BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Wow was I wrong!! Thanks for setting me straight. I'm not going to attempt the swap. It's not worth the time and effort. Thanks 😊 -
Maybe classified as antique?

Can tell I'm a vintage guy.

Show prep . Had a little axle drip going on, and decided it’s time to make it like new again . That oem seal from 40 years ago sure gave me a run for my money . -
Too adjust the tension on the control loosen the1-1/8 nut then use 5/8" wrench to turn the 4 flats on the end of the shaft sleeve
-
The big spring on the cross shaft provides the resistance to the motion control. The little springs back on the slider were only used on Wheelamatics... (875-1275 vintage tractors.)
-
This guy here is what sets the friction. There was ones with springs over the top of the plate that set the tension on the plate. Some tractors do not have that spring. I thinks Lowell has the replacement plates. I know he has replacement cam plates. Check that for wear too.
-
Make sure the metal tab on the left end of the shaft (bolted to the hoodstand) isn't broken or the bolt missing. (#24/25)
-
What size?
-
found some info loosen nut tighten friction collar. anyone have any other insight on this. It was working and just stopped. Something possibly broken in friction collar? Thanks

I just saw your truck thread. It looks like a very nice solid, straight truck---definitely worth getting back on the road again. The 300-inch six is an excellent mill. I've owned four F250s over the years (although none with that engine), plus several other pickups, and now I've 'downsized' to an F150. When it comes to axle work, I can't claim to be an expert, although I've overhauled a bunch of rear ends (I used to break them occasionally during my hot rod years in high school and college). I still have a case spreader lying around somewhere. Rear end work can be a bit fussy to deal with, so having a professional take care of it probably isn't a bad idea. I'll follow your thread to see how it goes.

What is the width size that came on the 418s? To have 10.5" width tires are they same size as the 520?
