Update: So I put the new tractor to work on the field finally. It ran very well. I was able to make 3 passes before I had to go home due to the muffler splitting apart. So I had to order the amazon one that your guys have tried. We will see. Now, my issue is how the mower deck seems to be running great. Spinning great until the tractor bogs down to about 3 k and then the mower deck seems to drop in speed very fast. The engine doesn't go any lower though. I'm running the tractor in 1 or 2 low as well. At first I was thinking the PTO is slipping but I'm not so sure and i don't want to keep making it tighter in fear it will wreak the bearings. The mule drive belt seems to be very tight as well and its a new belt. What am I missing? Can anyone refresh me about how to confirm the PTO is not to tight? LIke I know when you turn the lever the steering tower will twist a tad along with the engine slightly twists as well. My C160 does the same thing and both have brand new PTO clutch disks. The C160 also would bog down running this deck and the engine RPM would go down to 2.3k. Then I would stop moving and let the engine catch back up. Any thoughts you guys? -
Is the 25 amp fuse good? oil level good? PTO off? Clutch / Brake depressed? Shift lever (motion control) in neutral? If you apply 12 volts to the PURPLE wire on the solenoid will the solenoid close and the engine turn over?

Her timing was right - she got recognition in a short timeframe before the large dominate MoTown groups And the "English Invasion" of 1964.

42" RD deck - finally cut out baffles
953 nut replied to Stan50's topic in Implements and Attachments
My baffles removed themselves one day while mowing. One side fell down, dug into the ground and stopped me dead in my tracks. Had to back it up all the way to the shop to remove the rest. Those big clods of grass that built up at the baffle intersections would have rotted the deck out. -
August 25, 1962, a diminutive, 17-year-old singer named Eva Narcissus Boyd scored her first and only #1 pop hit with “The Loco-Motion.” Her success certainly came from her abundant talent and a great capacity for hard work, but it was helped along by being in the right place at the right time. Eva Boyd was newly arrived in New York City from her native North Carolina and looking for work when a neighbor in Brooklyn pointed her toward the job that would end up changing her life: working as a nanny for a young, professional Manhattan couple. It just so happened that the couple looking for a new babysitter were Gerry Goffin and Carole King, future members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 2, a diminutive, 17-year-old singer named Eva Narcissus Boyd, Little Eva, scored her first and only #1 pop hit with “The Loco-Motion.” Her success certainly came from her abundant talent and a great capacity for hard work, but it was helped along by being in the right place at the right time.

You have a gift of turning junk into workable and functional parts. I wish I had half your talent. -
42" RD deck - finally cut out baffles
ri702bill replied to Stan50's topic in Implements and Attachments
As I recall, at least one model of the 3 blade recycler deck had bolt in removable baffles - THAT sounds like a solution & a good idea... -
That is good news Eric. I hope you can find a good engine to put in there or have that one rebuilt. Keep me in the loop.

Mike I would do what Mike said. These parts are easley to get. And if you can I would find ethanol, free gas. Just go online and type in ethanol free gas stations in my area. I believe there’s a few sites that has with phone numbers that you can call. You’ll be much better off. It doesn’t eat way at the rubber of the fuel line. I hope all goes well. Keep us in the loop.

Convinced by @peter lena, I cut the baffles out, and did some minor repairs. I hope that will extend life of the deck and shorten cleaning time for sure.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Bar Nuthin replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Me and the neighbor loaded a few of them up and took them to Portland, IN antique engine and tractor show. Spent the better part of the day riding around the swap meet area and picking up a few things along the way. Only managed to cover about half of the swap meet area and one pass through the antique engine area. Huge event and it doesn't even officially open until Wednesday. -
Flat or semi gloss black on the tower parts. Flat is more forgiving later if you have to touch up here and there from scratches too. The more gloss, the more blemishes will show up. Personally, flat looks better to me.

kpinnc replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Nothing special, but I moved a couple out to the barn until the house is done. It was nice to drive them around for a bit. You can see some of the debris pile behind the 523H. The contractor has removed over a dozen tandem dump truck loads so far. -
I am just asking about metal panels on the steering tower. All of mine are faded and worn and not sure if they were originally gloss, semi or matte.
