I would like to put a 23hp Kohler command in my C-85 how electronically could I wire it up to run off a key?

@JCM Thanks, I figured you might recognize it 😁. -

That C-85 looks very familiar Justin. Engine looks nice in there. Good luck -
Oh... My... Gosh.... On the subject of cables, if they ever have any Willys that have locks on the throttle cable, I'd jump all over it. Sadly, I haven't found any of those.

The solenoid is mounted on your starter and the voltage regulator / rectifier is the same as any magnum, it is probably already mounted near the flywheel fan. -

What is the PGN part number for those bearings? I need some new one's myself. Thanks. -

So I’d like to put this, in this… As far as I know the only thing it needs electronically to run the engine separately, is a key switch that at least by part number is the same as the Magnum’s. What else do I need electronically to be able to run it in my C-85? I assume I’d need a small rectifier like the Magnum’s as well, possibly a solenoid. At least this time I have a good idea what it needs but I’m completely new to the Commands. Thanks! -
My first Wheelhorse. 1974 B80. Tugging a tree.

Those K181 8's punch way above their weight class and a well tuned one will surprise you at the amount of work they will do.

I got another one…. An 83 C-85 8 speed

After a bit of a hiatus due to work, I’m back to tinkering on the C-85. I’d like to get it running at least for the M&G but we’ll see as there’s a lot to do. It’s a newer engine a Kohler Command EFI 23 hp but at least it’s Kohler powered and 15 extra horses. As of right now it’s just a test fit. -
The nut is tight, I was wondering if I get it to tight because one of the spacers mushroom. I was wondering how much space should be between the pulleys? Which spacer goes between the pulleys the short or long? The belt size is 1/2" x 97" Thank you for trying to help.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Mowed the Fire Station and my lawn. Halfway through my lawn I broke a deck belt. Fortunately when the deck belt broke on the 312 it was at my house and not at the Fire Station. The 308 finished up the lawn, but that is needing attention as it REALLY doesn’t like running the PTO under load. It’s to the extent it starts sputtering, spitting black smoke and shutting off at idle. I’ve got that other running M12 if needed though. -

@peter lena Yeah replaced wheel brgs with some quality machined brgs. Also cleaned all the old grease out of spindle bores and spindles and put new red and tacky grease in them. I would like to install brgs under spindles like the 520H has it steers a-lot easier😃. Just have no mill to do it with. -

It’s kind of fitting that my niece’s animal horse trailer is behind the mechanical horses. And unintentionally they are in order of year too. Starting from right to left with the 78 and ending with the 92. -

Did a diesel fuel flush and gear oil change on the 161 before installing the ARK for the first time. Lessons learned...black hoods are too wide to clear the hydraulic pump and a shaker plate calls for an inch or so shorter belt It's always something. -

Here's a link to your original thread. Pics in there. I don't know enough about the mule drives to help much. Are the pulleys loose on the shaft? Does the nut wobble or have bad thread? Have you verified the correct WIDTH of the belt?

@sqrlgtr basic question ? do any related wheel bearing function check ? like a re grease and or added shimming to remove wheel wobble ? Qurious , pete -
'Farm' renovation: a cure to boredom.

Thanks guys! I'm pretty overwhelmed with all your kind messages! We feel very blessed to be able to live here. Yes! ..and yes! Might aswell give a full tour while we're at it View from the back at the front-barn-door. And the other way round. The white wall is where my workshop will be located. And the view from the first floor looking at the back wall of the garage/barn. I absolutely love the big wooden beams in here. Upstairs. Lots of potential. Doesn't look like much but the walls here are about 2.5m (8ft.) high. Living room with two bedrooms attached. One of the small bedrooms. Cosy dining room. Equally 'cosy' kitchen. Bathroom. Toilet. This is looking at the white door leading to the kitchen. This used to be where some livestock was kept. Few cows on the left with a manure gutter, they filled it but can still see the outlines in front of the 'step'. Few pigs on the front-right, behind the blue doors. This is on the other side, likely a horse stable. And even more stables. This is on the left side of the big barn. We were told this was were some sheep were kept. The part with the 'lid' I guess you could call it can be closed so that there's some extra shelter against the elements. That where sheep had their young. Below a map of the building, might help visualize things a bit. Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark -
Either 7 or 8 would be fine. In fact if you ordered a 7 HP engine replacement, some were actually an 8.

I agree to that 100%. Never again. But I’ve also seen people just doing a hard nut and bolt drop in.

Still trying to figure out why I breaking belts? The belt keeps jumping from the outside pulley to under the inside pulley on the mule drive. I feel it has something to do with the mule drive. Could it be the nut that holds on the mule drive is over tight? Only other thing I can come up with is the pulleys, They look OK? On a GT1600. Is there any service or troubleshooting manuals on this problem? If it may be the pulleys anyone got part numbers for them? My first time question may still be on here? Please & Thank you for your in put.
