What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Hmmm…I have a set of those out in the shed. Been sitting there for years attached to a seat I’ve never used. I’ll have to go out and find em and see how they operate. I love extra leg room. -
April 11, 1970, Apollo 13, the third lunar landing mission, is successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying astronauts James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert and Fred W. Haise. The spacecraft’s destination was the Fra Mauro highlands of the moon, where the astronauts were to explore the Imbrium Basin and conduct geological experiments. After an oxygen tank exploded on the evening of April 13, however, the new mission objective became to get the Apollo 13 crew home alive. At 9:00 p.m. EST on April 13, Apollo 13 was just over 200,000 miles from Earth. The crew had just completed a television broadcast and was inspecting Aquarius, the Landing Module (LM). The next day, Apollo 13 was to enter the moon’s orbit, and soon after, Lovell and Haise would become the fifth and sixth men to walk on the moon. At 9:08 p.m., these plans were shattered when an explosion rocked the spacecraft. Oxygen tank No. 2 had blown up, disabling the normal supply of oxygen, electricity, light, and water. Lovell reported to mission control: “Houston, we’ve had a problem here,” This is such a coinsurance that Artemis 2 completed its nearly flawless mission the day before the 56th anniversary of launch of one of NADSA's most spectacular seat-of-the-pants engineering feats.

On to the transmission controls. It feels much better now with all new wear components. Full forward and reverse control, and it holds position properly. Also replaced the drive belt, pulley, and spring. Modified the belt guard for better Onan cooling.

Interesting setup. The blower housing appears to be all metal. Most of them were plastic housings.

Seat can go back farther and if you want to drill or elongate some holes even farther back yet. 3 HHHOOOWWWAAARRRDDD!!! letters sounded about right! ( If you'd come to the show and hear me yell that at him you'd agree!) -
Too bad that tree went over but like Bill says there's a silver lining in repurposing the wood. I like that 4 wheel wagon. Been considering building something similar here for hauling firewood but haven't justified the time yet because we already have a good system.

Are the seat tracks able to go further back? Is there a specific regulation dictating the count volume of each given letter? Was "3 per" a conscious 🤔 decision? -

1978 C-141 drive pulley routing
MainelyWheelhorse replied to MainelyWheelhorse's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
@pfrederi I believe it’s a late 70’s era Sundstrand. it looks like it’s original to the tractor. I got it from @ebinmaine where it was a parts tractor. It seemed to be mostly complete in all the important areas. -
Got any weights? I like weight too! especially in winter. @Pullstart can help if you have an issue lifting them!

Paul, little FYI, I changed my GT-14 from Sundstrand to Eaton 1100 and didn't have to change a thing in the belt tensioning area. -

Is yours a sunstrand or an eaton Information like that can help get better responses you indicated it was a frankenstien which means we cannot be sure that the hydro is original or not and makes a difference in the engagement mechanism. . -
Hey guys, just got home from working out in Indiana… He said he was a member but doesn’t go on here much anymore. It’s so much fun to travel back east and finally get to see another one of these tractors. Isn’t that crazy? I’ve never actually laid eyes on another Wheelhorse other than my own.🤣 The one in the photograph that is parked on the gravel has a diesel engine in it… I think a 10 horse. ..really got me motivated to get cracking on the recently rebuilt Kohler K341 installation. I’ve got another hard week of work and then will finally have some time to get the engine in and get the wiring done. Jason

Can't help with the missing piece, but just for info purposes: that is an original side discharge deck, just not the plastic deflector that someone added.
