Oh sorry, I did an engine swap from a 414 8 to my 417 A. because the engine lost compression. I had to get a 2" smaller belt because of the smaller pully. It still works fine for mowing, just a little slower. I would like to find the larger 5" pulley for a little more speed.

Little priceyer but surely would get used. https://www.harborfreight.com/professional-digital-display-circuit-light-tester-with-interchangeable-shanks-70624.html?hftm_sc=135&hftm_source=google&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=21894823878&campaignid=21894823878&utm_content=171677806262&adsetid=171677806262&product=70624&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21894823878&gbraid=0AAAAADAHb4d27_Dln9XgN4dZP2TBYwGUg&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr6fmx8SOlQMVY4fCCB3VqiL5EAQYAyABEgI9lvD_BwE

R & R before the Big Show

You know, this is a really persuasive argument for moving to buckets, rather than tractors for the big show..... -

R & R before the Big Show
Ed Kennell replied to Ed Kennell's topic in non tractor related discussion
Fishing has been limited to a few croakers and oyster crackers, but the crabbing has been decent. A lot of jumbo female sponge crabs which is good news for next year. The ring traps have been doing better than the overnight pots. VID_20260616_110451170~2.mp4 My buddy would like to VID_20260615_200413083.mp4 -
I couldn’t agree more! The sound of a start gen Kohler 8 turning over right before it fires is sweet!

Achto, Yes I agree but have not located any part numbers for a Wheel Horse horizontal application just yet. Thanks -

AlexR replied to AlexR's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Yes that is the idea and I will end up doing what you suggested only way to make sure its right. Right now I have it set to pull the clevis on the hitch all the way to the tunnel for max lift, I do have some adjustability on the cable length. Thank you! if not I will give that cylinder a shot its close enough I'm 99% sure I can make it work. - Today

Repower 520HC with Predator 670 v-twin - PTO Clutch Question
twin520 replied to twin520's topic in Engines
Ed - Yes I have the original manual PTO setup on with the Predator and working fine. Just concerned about the crankshaft bearings if they can handle the thrust load and the reason to look into an electric clutch. Thanks for your input. -
90’s 520H on marketplace in my area…is it worth the asking price or should I haggle?

It’s a 1988 with the tapered shift knob on the top. -
Repower 520HC with Predator 670 v-twin - PTO Clutch Question
bds1984 replied to twin520's topic in Engines
Single cylinder engines that aren't the 459cc have ball bearings. I just looked at the parts list for the 670 and saw no ball bearings listed on the parts list. There is a thrust washer that MAY be able to handle the axial load of a Wheel Horse PTO, but I'd rather just upgrade the 3-amp charging system of the 670 and use an electric clutch. -
That looks like a handy tool to have around, a bit easier to hold than a digital multimeter. Hope it is durable and well built.

What model? Is it Wheelhorse?

Morgan a '73 plow horse
WHX?? replied to AlexR's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Guessing this is going to be a plow mule? If that's the case it may be best to mock everything up including the lift cylinder in both extend and retract. . Use compressed air to move the cylinder. That way you don't have to mess with hydraulics yet but still get a feel for what plumbing you will need. That would get you the max lift height for a plow yet still get enough down travel for a decent furrow. Also guessing you are going to want to use an off the shelf lift cable? The final length of that with define lift travel as well. I like a high lift height so I don't dig up Pullstart's yard ... ya right that's it. A high lift also makes it easier to get on and off trailers too. We can keep our eyes peeled at the big show for a decent one for ya. -
Red Square Twentieth Anniversary Group Photo
nylyon-(Admin) replied to 953 nut's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
@Rob R and I will be there Saturday! -
Actually, it's the “most compatible” setting that carries the day here. 24MP is telling the camera to use its maximum resolution--possibly important to you for other photos, but of no value whatever for posting to the forum (see the light gray text under ths 12/24 choices). The Resolution control lets you choose the resolution to use when prepping for a shot.

Red Square was only a few years old in 2009
nylyon-(Admin) replied to 953 nut's topic in non tractor related discussion
The first show where RedSquare was officially represented was 2008. That year, I believe that the only thing of significance was a banner made by Terry and signed by everyone in attendance, that banner was given to me and is proudly on display at @stevebo’s barn. Pre 2011, we strongly encouraged the use of Photobucket which was a great at the time when we lost the forum, but now any surviving photobucket picture is watermarked so I believe that this picture is the first RedSquare group picture.- 1 reply

Steel vs Titanium framing hammer
953 nut replied to ohiofarmer's topic in non tractor related discussion
Since titanium is lighter than steel and costs a whole lot more I never got into it. When I was young and had no arthritis issues I preferred a 20 oz. Plumb long fiberglass handled hammer for framing. One blow rather than two or three got the job done. I gave that hammer to a friend when my joints started telling me to find another way to make a living. -
90’s 520H on marketplace in my area…is it worth the asking price or should I haggle?
lynnmor replied to MainelyWheelhorse's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I'll never work on another Onan that was left in the weather, too many fasteners rusted fast. Folks that abuse tractors like that one do not deserve more than a token amount for their careless style. -
For the wiring harness about the only thing you'll find new is the switch harness. Rest of it is generally home made. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FDYYSLC/?coliid=IH8AZIU6ULWGZ&colid=G8HKY8TMXQKI&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it Voltage reg should be found in the jungle or fleabay. Possibly the harness for that too. Foe blades try @76c12091520h

That is music to my ears. All too often we have threads that begin with a list of parts that were replaced that didn't fix the problem. Diagnosing the problem is the fist step toward success. @adsm08 has given you some sound advice and once you slow down and do your work in a methodical manner you will amaze yourself. Doing the job right the first time will keep you from having to do it over and over and over. Here are a couple of steps you should begin with. Clean and tighten the entire fuel system to ensure the gas is being delivered to the carburetor, old rubber fuel lines should be replaced. Clean the contacts on your ignition points by rubbing a brown paper bag or dollar bill between them while the points are closed.

Drive Belt Wear on my Commando 8
rmaynard replied to rmaynard's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Does anyone know when Wheel Horse went from the stationary guide to the adjustable guide? I'm sure that if I look at enough parts manuals I can find the answer. And when they did go to the adjustable guide, was it for this reason? Inquiring minds need to know. EDIT: I grabbed the parts manual for Mr. Bone's tractor (72 Raider 10) and it appears to have an adjustable guide. I think Mr. Bone's is going to have some surgery today. Will update later. -
Drive Belt Wear on my Commando 8
rmaynard replied to rmaynard's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
@ri702bill I took a close look at that area. At the most there maybe 1/32" of up/down movement. I compared it to the 857 and it was the same. That guide is only there to keep the belt from jumping off the idler when the clutch is depressed and the belt slacks. I think I will try a little modification to what's there before doing anything major. But thanks for the idea Bill -
