1969 Wheelhorse, What model, thoughts?
oldlineman replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Agree with the rest,looks like a C as Sparky has said not worth asking price IMHO, looks to have been abused. -

If the right foot rest is too close it will make the belt guard too close. Loosen up the clamps and slide the foot rest out a bit and it will help.

Right on Rider ... when I first joined here I had no idea what a round hood or Suburban even was... When I learned I gotta have one or ten ...

Not that I am admitting The Squonky is right but ... yeah some so us are as pure of tractor as we are of mind ... It's a procedure where you have a piece of plate glass with a sheet of say 400 grit or better wet /dry emery paper taped to it. It provides a surface that you can sand the halves flat . Note KP's pic where the half is slightly warped. Glassing removes them. I prefer to do it wet as it floats away particles. Same procedure for glassing a head & plenty of you tubes on doing it. If you overtighten the the screws it will squeeze the diaphragm too much at the corners leaving a gap where those warped areas are. Extreme overtightening can even warp the halves further. On doing a head ... same principle headgasket.pdf

I absolutely love these tractors. I will enjoy following along on this one! I just realized, I’m in trouble. Now I want one. 😇 -

1969 Wheelhorse, What model, thoughts?
Gasaholic replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I agree with the rest, it ain't worth that as it sits... OTOH I could justify it if I already had a horse that needed repair parts for the trans. - easily could spend twice that buying parts for transmission.. but the rest of it looks so roached, only other workable pieces might be the frame and possibly front axle, hood and hood stand... so those 4 areas would definitely need careful checking over to be sure they were all in solid shape to even be worth it as a parts unit or "ground up" frame resto. -

Happy birthday

Yep. as far as parts go, K301 and K321 are identical in all respects except bore size (piston & rings)
-
All used same hydro. This manual cover it pretty well. You should also look at the D series manuals as the manifold system show up better there than in this manual. Also look the the pinned post at the top of this forum for o ring and seal numbers for Sunstrand hydros

The cheap seat(s)

Sure can. I've used plate steel and square bar stock in the past. I'd also recommend getting some proper sized good quality fender washers for the bottom of the pan/fender to help spread the load. -

Hello, I have a 1973 D 160 with the sundstrand transmission I would like to rebuild and replace the gaskets that are leaking and wondering if you could help with a download for it? Also, did they use the same transmission in the D180 and the D 200 ? Thanks

I forgot to add, I believe you could make an adapter plate pretty easy for these and that would keep you from drilling extra holes in seat pan. -

sqrlgtr replied to ebinmaine's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Here is a picture of one I picked up at the big show last year, but it was an older one. I also think they suit the gen/start tractors very well. The holes did not match the factory holes in seat/fender pan on mine either. I believe this style of seat is what used to be called the "Michigan" seat. . -

That's in the first post. I checked my 1974/5 and they do not. Not sure about other years... -

Eric I agree with the low back seats specially with the old start gen tractors. It looks nice. Where did you find those. Oh also does the holes match up putting it on the seat pan? Can you share the price? -
Lots of good info on this post. Good knowledge to know.
