Today I thought I might as well fix up the wire harnesses for the tractor and engine. I use these sealed 9 pin connectors that I sourced on ebay. They are the same as the OEM connectors but use seals on the wires and a gasket between the connectors. 9 pin connector cut off of engine harness. One new terminal installed. All new terminals installed. 9 pin connector on engine harness complete. Of course I removed the charge wire from the 9 pin and routed it to the battery cable connection at the starter solenoid through a sealed 30A fuse. Now onto the tractor wire harness. here is the way the 9 pin looked when removed. 9 pin on tractor harness replaced. Now I modified the wire harness to suit me. Seat switch has been removed due to my getting my butt off of the seat on steep hills so I can't use it. Neutral switch has been removed because my foot control returns to neutral position automatically Parking brake switch has been eliminated because I can't push down the foot control pedal with it on anyways. Here is the harness complete and ready to be installed.

Tractor Lunging Unexpectedly!! Scary!! Help please!
c-series don replied to heysavoy's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Yes, the seat and the fender pan in order to give the hydro unit cooling fins a proper cleaning. Compressed air works best. Adjusting the cam plate for the motion control should be in our manuals section. As soon I posted this so did @gwest_ca ! -

heysavoy replied to heysavoy's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated. So I assume I have to remove the seat to do so? Told you I didn't have any idea what I was doing? -
I’ve done that a few times. All but once I caught it and edited it out. But once working on the C I let one slip, and then late at night editing it slipped through and made it into the final video, didn’t know it until a couple days later when someone pointed it out in the comments section

...then give it a bath and lube job. That kind of dirt build up can wear away pivot points quickly not to mention plugging cooling fins. Remove the fender pan and clean thoroughly. Inspect & adjust per the manual. Cleanliness goes double for hydros. -

Check the cam plate and linkage under the seat. -
Problems with iPhone on RedSquare.
formariz replied to formariz's topic in non tractor related discussion
Hold on. That may be it. Since everything else I have to log in is really an app but RedSquare is not that may be it. I am going to try it without the Private Browsing. -
I may have some Tecky carb kits. Do you have numbers ?

I have a 1990 wheel horse classic model # 31-12KE01 with a hydrostatic transmission. I've noticed recently when I put it in reverse, it seems to hesitate to want to go backward. I also found I needed to keep my hand on the gear or it would sometimes abruptly stop. Today I had a scary experience when it lunged unexpectedly to the point the front tires came completely off the ground and almost flipped me over backwards. I took the middle plate off at the gear shift (see picture below) trying to figure out what was wrong and didn't see anything that looked out of order but honestly I don't know what I am even looking for. When I've had other problems, my only saving grace has been this forum which has always been there to help me when I needed it. And I really need some help now because I'm in the middle of leaf season with over an acre of yard and 25 hardwoods. I live in the Charlotte NC area but don't know anyone who works on a wheelhouse especially a 1990. Thanks in advance for any help someone could offer. I love my old tractor and was hoping it would last me another 10 years. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
lynnmor replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
That is the same decal that is on my WH 48” plow. -

I saw this 48" long frame plow on FBMP for cheap, so I made the 1 hr RT this morning. I never saw this warning decal before. Wheel Horse? -
The video shows the only downsides of the relatively low mounting and flood style--the lifted blade blocking the light and reflecting it back into the operator’s line of sight. Note, too, that many outdoor LEDs have 6000K+ “daylight" temperature but not the full daylight spectrum. This can make for very bright but “flat” lighting, especially in snow. Not a deal breaker by any means, but something to consider. (Full spectrum combines LEDs of different colors and phosphor coatings to get the full range.)

I have a 71-72 Sears suburban gifted to me by my SIL.. It was his Grandfathers. Anyway, I want to rebuild the carb after old man winter is gone. Really good shape for its age. Where do you fellows recommend getting Tecky parts. Thanks Jack

Problems with iPhone on RedSquare.
Handy Don replied to formariz's topic in non tractor related discussion
I use only Private Browsing on my iPhone and iPad so login is always lost whenever I close the window or “swipe” the app to quit it. On my MacBook, I leave the app and window open in regular browsing and login persists until bi-weekly “clear all history." I do use LastPass across all three devices to manage my 00’s of login credentials and that saves typing and memory (Important: use an extremely strong Master Password). It is one of several good password managers and pre-existed Apple’s now more robust Passwords app. (And yes, I’m very aware of the 2022 LastPass data breach and its ramifications.) -
@ML3 like it , reflective of set up and insurance of function , also like oiled patina look , you using a belt for the blower chute swing ? looks like something I would do , pete

Problems with iPhone on RedSquare.
MainelyWheelhorse replied to formariz's topic in non tractor related discussion
@formariz I have a 16” MacBook Pro, a iPad Pro and a iPhone SE all relatively recent, that I use for the site sine I found it in 2021. I’ve never had an issue with login so far unless I cleaned out cookies. Possibly a browser security level issue? -
Welcome to the forum. Lots of helpful info above! Summary? - That tractor's frame and engine are plenty strong - 12 hp can surprise you - In most instances you will lose traction before stalling the engine - The three stock hitch positions offer a lot of flexibility but plenty of members have added their own (me included!) - Please post your progress and questions -- with pictures!

I tell my girls “Just imagine how bad Daddy’s tummy would hurt if all that gas had to stay in there!” or lately I just blame it on my shoulder.

Problems with iPhone on RedSquare.
Pullstart replied to formariz's topic in non tractor related discussion
This happened to me for a while as well. I even made a separate account for my phone, just to get away from that. I got a new iPhone 14 Pro (same as before) and the issue went away. I can’t help, but have experienced it. also, my phone and iPad both have the same Apple ID, like my old phone and iPad. -
That is what my father called it he passed away 27 years ago and that phrase reminded me of Dad.

I use three devices to go on Red Square. My PC , iPad and my iPhone. 90% of time I use the phone. Unless one signs out they stayed logged on all the time. However now the phone logs off the site immediately if I go into something else having to log in again and again . Real annoying since site is littered with adds that keep actively covering the log in part. I am not a total idiot with these things but I am stumped with this. Any ideas?

Well, one of his stunts may become his epitaph.

He made the video to get lots of views and perhaps gain followers on his other YouTube videos which are probably as stupid. And here we are feeding his ego and filling his piggy bank.
