@kpinnc, do you still have the original front tires? If so how much would you want for them?

Thank you Wheel Horse Collectors Club

They probably wanted to make sure everyone got their portion before you got the bucket -
Here is the main part of the speed problem. The throttle cable is on the bottom, goes to the black spring which goes to the governor arm which goes to the throttle plate. You push on the gas pedal and it is 2/3 of the way before the throttle moves. Top rpm is around 2300, idle is 1400 rpm. I pulled the spring and put stiff wire in, that livened things up. 4200 rpm and no governor at half throttle pedal. That got me to about 20 mph. Looks like a shorter spring might work.

Glad to have you among the herd.

It has a Salisbury torque converter on it. I pulled the part off the engine for a clean and lube.

Hello everyone. I already posted a couple posts and became a supporter, so I figured I should introduce myself. My name is Brett but everyone calls me Buck. Nickname from my childhood and now I’m 47 and still have it. I used to be in the hobby big time. My dad, uncles, and cousins all had wheel horse tractors. I had 36 of them. Between all of my family members and I, we had over 200. I bought a house, got married, and had a daughter. The tractors sat and didn’t get ran so I sold them all except three. That was in 2016. This spring, the boy was out in the shed and wanted to get one of them out and running. Well we got all three of them running and he was hooked and it all came back to me! So in the last month or two, I’ve bought a 753 that I rescued from someone’s woods, a 500 special and a B-80 out of a barn, and a 701 at the big show! So I’m back collecting and searching. I get to do it all with my boy and get to meet great people who enjoy the same things! Thank you for having this group!

Here is the steering system. In the second picture the tie rod comes from the front through the hole in the middle of the picture, goes to the lever which swivels at the top of the picture then heads toward the on the bottom tie rod. The third picture shows the rear tie rod attach point, also the articulation "hinge". The last picture shows the rear tie rod and the swivel.

@Bill D or @JCM, how much would you want for one of those horse head keys?
-
If you want it to last forever, build a ramp and run the tractor up so you can clean the deck completely after every mowing. Coat it with oil for long periods of storage.

This was my first time back since 2002. It was just like I remember except more tractors and more great people. My wife, son, and I had a great time! I really enjoyed every minute of it with them and meeting some new people. I talked to Wild Bill quite a bit and caught up from 20+ years ago. Just everything was great about it! To all the people who volunteered, worked, or did anything to make it happen, THANK YOU! We will be back next year! -
On the front axel ok?
-
Yes, a Saginaw 525 series. I am trying not to spend $300-400 on this yet. I have the axels and a couple of other things to go through first.

Very nice to see you again. We will have to do more Kevin things next year. -
It's now confirmed...y'all are a bunch of enablers! Meet my B100 8-Speed
davem1111 replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Brad, I'm very glad that you were able to make a worker out of that B-100. Here is what it looked like when I found it - PO said it had been sitting for a "couple of years".... I like the new muffler you put on her. -
I was mowing with my 520-HC and I noticed the oil light came on. I promptly added oil to the full mark and it seemed to have lost power and started missing. I checked compression and the front cylinder is 85 and the rear is 0. It still starts and no loud knocking like a broken rod. I did notice wet oil drips underneath but nothing like a vented block. I hear they're expensive and difficult to rebuild. Thinking of a possible repower. 22 HP predator is $950 and 16.8 is $450. Is there really much difference in performance between the two for just running a 48 inch deck? Any other options or suggestions?

Anyone know the best way to get in contact with Matt who makes the Wheelhorse seat covers and seats? I emailed him, messaged him Facebook but haven’t heard back
