What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
sqrlgtr replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Looks great hate I didnt get to make this year show. Btw what is next years featured tractor? -
I was having a similar issue. Found a thin wall bushing that fit the pin nicely. Bored out the arm to 9/16" and it's a nice tight fit. A dab of moly grease and back together. It's on back ward in the photo.

Not really a "done to" but got my RS 20th anniversary banner hung up after moving a bunch of other stuff around. -
Not Ron Howard, it's Michael J Fox, that has Parkinson's.

That deck can be mounted to an 865. The way it left the factory there is no way to hook up the drive belts. That will require parts that you need to gather up, and some mods that require some know-how.

1054 Hydraulic Cylinder Not Functioning

I, and at least a few others here, have been using Type F transmission fluid. - Today

My experience shows me that rebuilding a carb is no longer a trouble shooting exercise. It is a scheduled maintenance item.

It's been a rough couple weeks around here, especially for the dog...

Thanks Don. 😊 Meeha is doing well. She's been improving her ability to stand for several days .. a little wobbly at first. Trina says "drunken monkey". Yesterday she was able to lay back down for the first time. That's a big step in the right direction. Today we're experimenting with removing one of the meds, on vet recommendations of course. -
Happy belated birthday 🎉

I have an Electro 12 hp 1971 wheelhorse, and my question is when checking the fluid level in the transmission should the dipstick be screwed in or just inserted? The tractor has an automatic transmission, and the last time I used it it became difficult to push the forward lever forward. I thought that perhaps it was low on fluid.

@ebinmaine Checking in on Meeha, I hope she is feeling better. I know she is in good hands. -

1987 310-8 key switch to plug match problem
pfrederi replied to Armadillo👍's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
I would put back the old plug that was in her when she last ran...Wouldn't be the first time a new electrical thing didn't work....especially if it is a Champion they fail to fire under compression -
Sharp blades and not trying to cut too much at a time are the ticket!

@8ntruck have these in use for years, low pressure 3.5 psi , absolutely bombproof , also did , my first related fuel hose , swap out , at the the time ? fuel check valve , short clear fuel rated hose up to carb , so you can always see the standing fuel , regularly add an experiment into a service area . make it better ? easier ? worse ? low pressure is perfect for these carbs , pete , k=carbole+electric+fuel+pump&hvadid=816691941064&hvdev=c&hvexpln=67&hvlocphy=9003257&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=10299470043

I had forgot about compression release. It did run before. It has a new spark plug. Thank you. -
I'll have to take a look at the hydro engagement lever on Clyde, the C-195 to see if this could quiet that down some. Thanks for sharing your fix.

the property I'm operating on has plenty of contour, so low fuel and tilt can be an issue. I installed an electronic ignition on it last fall. No points. Has great spark. Replaced the coil at that time with the one Steiner Tractor recommended. Lack of spark is on the list, but near the bottom. Twice when I checked for fuel flow, there was none, so that goes to the top of the list. Also installed a new fuel line, carb elbow, and shut off valve at the tank last fall. Haven't been into the carb in several years, though - maybe it's time.

Compression tests on a Kohler with compression release can be a bit hard to go by. The cam shaft has a feature that releases some of the compression until the engine is turning over a couple hundred rpms to make it easier to start. If it ran good before it shouldn't be a compression problem unless it was opened up or the valves adjusted. Even though the engine has good spark I would start with a new spark plug. -
And that makes it an excellent candidate to add in a solenoid to remove the high amperage load from the poor keyswitch. I did the same on my 854 - easy to do.

With the 301991 switch installed the engine turns over but won’t start. The spark plug has a good strong spark. No start using starting fluid either. Since the push to start button by passes all the wiring I’m going to remove the 301991 start switch and hook the push to start button back like it was and see if the engine starts. There seems to be good compression but I’m going to get a compression tester and test compression just in case. -
What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse

The sequel a few years later was, in my opinion, lackluster at best. Fairly typical where they access the success of the original, then try to ride the Gravy Train one more time... Steven Spielburg did the three "Back to the Future" movies right. The scripts for all three were written before the filming of the first, knowing he had a hit on his hands. Plus the fact that none of the cast was getting any younger, and Ron Howard's Parkinsons was progressing.....
