What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Ed Kennell replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Every valve I have pulled had a partially clogged and collapsed screen so I always remove the screens so any dirt can pass thru the valve to the inline filter that I can easily replace. I have thought of replacing the valve and grommet with a 1/4"NPT bulkhead fitting that would have a much larger opening that would allow the dirt to exit the tank to the filter. May have drill and tap the tank boss to accept the bulkhead fitting. I have an inline filter near the tank and near the carb. with the epump in between the two filters. The plastic tanks are not as bad as the metal tanks, but they still get dirt from the funnels and cans used during filling. - Today

Some Tractor manufacture's such as WheelHorse chose to have Kohler install bancce gears wile Salome like John Deere. left them out from the start.

It was mainly the inclines with frozen ground that did me in. Wasn't really solid ice. Just frozen slick. It did alright once it thawed some and the ground became wet. Still planning for chains. Thanks for the compliment on the seat. It's awesome, wish I would have gotten it years earlier. Makes the back not hurt after long hours. Thanks for the advice on the plow blade too! I'll try it next opportunity!

(Uses #2175 - # 41 chain Pitch 1/2" and roller width 1/4")

Me neither but due. 2019 last done and used the 5 year stuff. I got a nice set of double v bars ... nice tensioners & everything but chicken to run them. Always did good with just weights & turfs ... and on a bit of a hill. This year Yah ... too cold to melt some ice off so gonna put them back on.

Pics & price on cultivators???
-
I'll third the #40. Just bought a spare today. Not to jinx here but hopefully running the wrong chain didn't mess up the sprockets.

Was at a horse auction and there was a NIB one there. Says Jim you gotta bid on this. Bidding went up to 25 and was already thinkin of where to display it. Suddenly bidding took off and ended at over 100. Did I mention I HATE auctions.

When you pop the head show us some pics of the block deck and head. See if there's any oil wash going on. Check the bore for wear marks and issues.

Just yakin about that here fellas.

Work on a 520 Ed Dog entailed taking out the gas tank. Full tank so drain it into a gas can and barely dribbled out. Took a day to let it run out. Pulled the rusty gas cock to check & replace an aged grommet and found @Bill D 's plugged strainer. I have been known to take off the strainer Bill figuring the inline filter will do it's job. Maybe not a good idea but the replacement valves have no screen. -

Thanks guys for all the help! I'll surely report back when I get them on and when I test them Looks like theyll be delivered early next week. In the meantime I'll get the tractor jacked up and get the rims and wheel weights off... Probably drop them all off at my guy's shop on Mon or Tue, and hopefully pickup by next Fri! -
I have the truck in excellent condition, but no box, I feel so deprived.

As per forum classified rules, prices must be listed. Thank you!

This assumes you did a good job getting nearly all of the old oil out. There is a “hump” in the bottom of the transaxle that’ll hold back as much as a cup of oil unless you lift the front of the tractor at least a foot off the ground (safely) while allowing the transaxle to drain.

I second the removal of the balance gears. On an automatic tractor you'll need to keep the RPM just below the normal 3600. I run mine at 3200, 3300 and it does well.
-
Well it does look pretty, but personally I worry about function a lot more than appearance. 😁

Thank you for the information

@kpinncHow can you tell which variation of OLD TYPE/NEW TYPE balance gear config you have?

How meany qt. dose a B-80 8 speed trans hold I or 2 qt. of gear oil

Two theories on that one: First- Kohler installed them in K301, K321, K341. Then in M12, M14, and M16 engines to reduce vibrations associated with a single cylinder flathead engine's combustion cycle. Secondly- When the before mentioned engines reach a certain amount of wear, the gears work well for opening ventilation "windows" in the block. AKA "grenade gears" as they are commonly known. All that being said: When the bearings and shims are replaced as per the service manual (and properly timed), the chances of them failing is greatly reduced. But many don't keep up with the wear on an old Kohler and don't rebuild it until the engine is just about worn out. Those tiny needle bearings don't always last as long as the rest of the components. So to prevent worry in the future, some folks just remove them. I've done it myself and while it will be evident on a K341 it eliminates the worry of destroying the engine if a balance gear decides to change places with the crank.

The snow blower wouldn’t fire so it was all up to the charger.. never skip the beat!

I know its not #40 cause the #40 master link kit I have is too big. I found some #35 chain in garage & its definitely too small for sprockets. Also had a #35 master link kit. It almost fits....the link isnt wide enough to allow the clip & link to attach. Only the clip will fit. I think.the chain might be #41??? How could something so simple be such a pain?? 🤣🤣

i would have to look for model number i think it is a early model box is roughly 9 x 5 1/2
