Google and AI! The speed in which data can be gathered today is incredible. And you nailed it with your guess on what it was with spectacular accuracy!

Some additional info: B. Cooper Ice Co. operated during the early 1900’s with records connecting them to the ice industry in 1917. The dissolution of the B. Cooper Ice & Coal Co. (I guess they worked in the coal industry, too) occurred on November 1, 1934. In any matter, I think that’s a neat piece of history and would hang on to it. Cherish it even. Don’t Bank On This Part: I’m guessing here, but the ST 5 under Bond & Turney, may mean 5th Street (which is now 105th St). The ice company building was located on “Shaughnessy Square” between 105th & 106th Streets (originally 5th & 6th Streets) and 2nd & 3rd Avenues in Troy, NY. That area is actually triangular in shape.

That is a Dart block I believe. Great blocks, but quite pricey. I haven't read very far back but that looks to be a pretty stout small block.

That could be an aftermarket block.

I have one. A 2000 16-38. The missus had it when I married her. She runs it a lot. In fact she is the main mower with it. Bagger is handy sometimes. I been taking care of it for her and getting pretty good service with it and other than belts, blades and the occasional idler. It not that we don't like a fine vertical but we tend to focus on the vintage collector's models and the garden tractor models here. There are quite a few files here for the HLX series including complete transaxle service. There were many of these mowers sold here but sadly many were abused and left for scrap.

Welcome to the Forum True, not a lot of posts about these lawn tractors--lots of members here prefer the older stuff! I did some work on one of these a while back and was impressed at the sturdy construction. Hope you continue to enjoy it!

Ooooo.. whatever the Wheelhorse hubs caps material is.. I said aluminum because it looks like it but chromed steel makes much more sense -

Now come on Kevin !!! Not only does it look like a Chevy engine, it says Chevrolet right on it. There is no way that engine came out of a Dodge Dart.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
CasaytheMann replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I changed the oil and oil filter, and greased all 4 zircs. The recycler deflector had both bottom corners broken off, which sent grass all over the place, so I installed a piece of flooring and metal retainer to block it off. Buying a new deflector and parts for $75+ isn't in my budget at the moment. On a side note, I went down to the local Autozone to buy some sae30 oil. I didn't see any on the shelf so I asked an employee if they had any in the back warehouse. I told him I needed 2 qts. He came back with 2. When they rung it up, it showed it was 1 cent a qt. The manager said it was discontinued and they just wanted to get rid of it. I told them I'd buy whatever they had left. Walked out with 7 qts for 8 cents (sales tax was 1 cent). - Yesterday

Hi all. I bought a '99 Wheelhorse 15-38HXL three years ago. I've been retired now for 3 years. There doesn't appear to be a lot of posts here regarding the unit I have, so maybe I can help others who might also have one.

Here are some rear tire options for you. https://www.millertire.com/categories/lawn-garden-tires/6-12/ Do a search on 6-12 tractor tires for more options The 8" rims that you posted will not work at all, they are designed to be mounted on a drive axle that rotates. Like for a walk behind tiller or snow blower. Some front tire options. https://www.millertire.com/categories/lawn-garden-tires/4-80-8/ https://www.ebay.com/itm/332299155258 If the exhaust port on your engine is threaded, then you can use water pipe to get it out from under the hood and add a pepper box muffler. Example https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/maxpower-engine-muffler-for-1-in-pipe-replaces-briggs-stratton-299477-299477s-334140-2089646

You might want to look at the inside of those rear tires, they probably could be saved with tubes. Love the old Silvertowns. Try searching for 23 X 600-12, you will get lots of hits on that size, if you want to go wider you could get 8.50 that will fit your rims OK.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
BrianKoch replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Update: I refilled the reservoir with SAE 30 motor oil and waited and waited and waited. Then, I noticed oil weeping out from under the cam follower arm. After looking at the parts diagram, it doesn’t appear there is a serviceable seal underneath. Anyone have more experience with this issue? Also, in preparation for the upcoming replacement cam plate operation, I removed the 106661 eccentric cam and sure enough it needs replacing due to excessive wear. Grass is growing day by day. Gotta get this horse out to pasture soon! -

I thought he said "I sell propane and propane accessories". Seriously though, I love that song. Also, what's the cut-off for being a "whippersnapper"? -
those look like matching BFG Silvertowns (real good snow tire IMO) and look like they have plenty of tread left, is there anyway you might be able to put tubes in? I have also "fixed" some pretty bad tires by using the stringy/Kevlar tire sealant, have some that's stayed up for at least 7yr. As far as muffler goes, there is a bunch of different opyions out there just match the threads, I try to get the quietest I can find in my old age.. to RED SQUARE

Either you have done a great deal of through research or you are one of the best BS artists on Red Square. I'm very impressed, but then again I'm easily impressed.

856 heavily corroded hubcap removal advice
sqrlgtr replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
wow it didn't even register with me that aluminum was mentioned..... Guess I need to quite speed reading . -
I'm struggling a bit to find tires for this old girl, especially the rears. They are dry rotted beyond reason and I would like to swap them out. I could use the original rims, but would really like to go wider in the back so a rim change is probably required. I found a pricy pair of front tire/rim combo on Amazon but they are a bit pricey and I'm not 100% sure they will fit. According to my measurements, they should Amazon.com: (Set of 2) Replacement for Ariens 07101201, 07101202 Keyed 16x4.80-8 Tire Wheel Assy with new improved non directional Snowblower tire : Patio, Lawn & Garden I can find absolutely zip for the 22.5 x 6.00/12 rears. I would love some ideas or some links that could help me out. Also, if anyone knows a muffler that would fit the original Tecumsa engine that would be great.

Are the hub caps aluminum? I have seen chromed steel and plastic Wheel Horse hubcaps but never have seen aluminum.
