sanding the deck on a vanguard
horseman with no horse replied to horseman with no horse's topic in Engines
i can post a video , it BARELY catches my finger nail but not actually catches it, more like a little friction -
Chain saws I've recently acquired

Nice score! I do love my Stihl MS260! One thing I do not like are those flippy caps for bar oil and fuel. They only work one way but have about 3 other ways that they don't seal or even lock. Cheap alternative to those caps and they work great: https://sawzillaparts.com/products/proline-fuel-and-oil-cap-for-stihl-ms290-ms310-ms390-ms460-ms441-ez-twist-0000-350-0504 -
It happens. Steering wheel is a dead giveaway for 66/67.

i got some light scratching on my deck from ye ol razer blade. im almost convinced i could get away with running it, maybe copper coating the graphoil gaskets. but i still wouldnt mind exploring the possibility of sanding down the deck a smidge. would 1000 grit and a nice piece of flat wood work?

If it fits it ships

I wouldn't have done that anyways, whoever did the sanding was a previous owner, according to my friend that gifted it, he is only the 3rd owner since new. I also believe the ID tag is completely gone, as there is nothing painted over at all there, just a couple holes where I can tell something used to be riveted in place but now isn't. Also thanks for the welcome! Happy to be here! Especially after just today finding out about something called "Mowverlanding"!!!! It is so very awesome, and probably a bit more affordable than normal overlanding!
-
Definitely not a 65 but most likely a 66 or 67 hydro. Tag under dash most likely painted over. Do not try and sand it off like the motor plate.
-
I will say, when I search for images of a 67 or so 1077, they all look remarkably the same as mine with only minor differences here or there, where as when I looked up other years and models, there were a lot of what seems to be major differences.
-
It likely is a 1077. Toro has no record of this model so no listed engine. It make sense that the gear and hydro models used the same engine.
-
I don't think it is a '65 because to my knowledge all the tractors in '65 were a short frame and yours appears to be a long frame so it was made it '66 or later I believe, I may be wrong though
-
It may have been swapped out then, I only say this because everything for the 1067 says its a 3 or 6pd where mine is definitely hydrostatic, perhaps a 1077 then? or maybe indeed its a 65 and had the engine replaced? Not completely sure really. I will say that dash looks pretty close, except there is a hole, where I assume the light would have been, at the top left of the panel, and a cigarette lighter next to that, and no rocker switch anywhere. just choke, throttle, the lighter I mentioned and the hole next to it, and the ignition.

Kohler made the engine in 1966 and spec # 46333d was used on the model 1067. 10 = engine hp 6 = 6-speed transmission 7 = 1967

417-A followed me home today.

Good tease shot. 😅 -
Someone on here may be able to narrow down the year from using the engine spec number, should work as long as engine wasn't replaced unknowingly
-
This is the only tag I can find, it's on the blower shroud.

856… Only pre attach a matic decks fit?

Decks are sized by their width of cut - not the width of the deck. Same manual for 32" RM-326 and 36" RM-366 in 1966. Last digit 6 is for 1966. -

FLtractor replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I’ll have to ask around once I get the deck off and checking it all out .. thank you very much for all the help -
Model 1075 10 = hp 7 = hydro transmission 5 = 1965
-
THANKS!!! I do also know it is a hydrostatic unit, not manual shift.

Welcome to Red Square. Click on the picture in this link. It will take you to a page that shows where the ID plate was in 1965. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge them.

No, I looked everywhere I read there should be a tag, only one I can find is on the engine blower shroud, and has been painted over and then sanded when someone tried to read what it says. From what I could find with it, It appears I have the Kohler 241 10hp engine. Any and all markings, tags and stickers have long since been removed or fell off though. Yeah, I understand multiplying, all my projects tend to do that, but I have 7 kids so there will be plenty to share, but knowing them they will fight over each project before moving on to fight over another one. Also thanks for the welcome!
-
Based off of the hydraulic lift lever, the steering wheel, it being a long frame, I think that might be around a 68 charger 12. Does it have a model number and serial number tag under the dash somewhere? And to Red Square and to owning Wheel Horses. I will warn you though that they are a herd animal and tend to multiply rather quickly.

I think just edge to edge but I'm not sure They don't use a spindle like the later decks do. There is a shaft that goes through and then there are a couple of thrust washers in there and then on to each side has a gear on top that is held on with a snap ring. You might not even need to get spindles and you might get lucky with just having to tear everything apart, clean it up, and put fresh grease on everything. I'm sure there a handful of people here that have a little bit more knowledge than me and could better answer your questions. And if you tear it apart put the belts on before you put the gears back on and everything bolted in place. It's not fun to have to take it back apart to fix. Another to watch out for when tearing apart and putting back together is making sure you have the gears in a position where the blades wont hit each other. -
It drives you crazy right? I still remember fighting this. The fuse holder has 1 hot wire feeding 2 fuses, but you really cant see underneath so you dont realize the bottom of that fuse block is empty on one side. I still have the hot wire run to the battery too

Will keep that in mind if I do have to cut the cable. Thank you
