Definitely agreed. I was referencing the first years.

Worth the price for the 10 HP Kohler & the rear weights alone...
-
Do not forget the lowest HP versions - THe C81 and the C85. Both agile workers...

Kind of a 6 Volt to 12 Volt conversion!

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Ed Kennell replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
That's an amazing photo. Muddy makes a much higher speed and quality camera than I have. -
I thank GOD that we generally don’t need snow blowers here in NW Arkansas (ONE time, we got 2’ of snow all at once… would have been handy then!), but THAT is the kind of deal I’d hope to stumble upon if I was searching for a blower, that’s for SURE!

Found this thread while looking for something else... Bumping it to the front for others to read....

Do you remember what your user name was? Or close to what it was? If so I can help, don’t need your password as I’ll assist you with that as well.

Then along came the C-195 1982-84. Around 600-700 built 19ho Kohler Twin Larger frame than standard C- Series, had some similarities to the D-Series.

I have mixed feelings about taking these special animals. But if I pass, someone else won't. I have mounted one that was killed illegally about 20 years ago. The poacher was arrested and the piebald button buck was held as evidence till the trial was over.

Depending on a person’s situation, I have done well using 275-gallon “totes”, 12V RV water pumps, batteries, and solar panels. The layout of our 1-acre lot means that where I can capture rainwater is downhill from where I need the water, so I transfer from tank to tank. (I need to get one more tank, now that I think of it… I have a source of food-grade, once-used, cleaned tanks for $35!! A 4th tank on the high side of the garden will be ideal, then I could utilize a drip system.)

Had a real good one way back in 1980. Olds Omega with a manual trans. Under warranty came in with a broken clutch cable at the bellhousing. so I replaced it. Came back a month later with another broken cable. So I replaced it again. This time it looked like the cable was burnt. Turned out the negative cable at the bellhousing was loose 5 inches away from the cable. When starting an arc jumped between the cables and burned through the clutch cable. I have also seen choke and throttle cables glow on Wheel Horses!

Why a good ground is important
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to squonk's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
We had a K10 Chev Blazer come in with a noisy drivetrain. Every bearing in both front and rear axles, U-joints, differentials, transfer case and transmission had failed. Cause was a poor ground between the body and the battery. Current was flowing through the bearings to get to the engine which had a good ground. A very costly repair to a vehicle less than a year old. I should add that the cause was discovered before the damage was found. The technician had the radio on and when he removed one end of a drive shaft the radio quit. - Today

Yeah, I noticed that after I took the photos. I think I have it dialed in now. gave it a test spin at full RPM and don't notice any vibration or shaking. I think it may have been bent in transit or storage, as there's nothing that would indicate impact from being used. Doesn't look like it's seen much use at all. Appears to be original paint. The guy I bought it from had a few tractors, wagons, and implements, etc. - but his outside property was smaller than my driveway. His concrete drive was only about 50' long. He also had rebuilt K341 spec engine under his workbench, but he wasn't parting with that.

I've got an a aluminum trailer and the lights always give problems. The lights are grounded to the frame with a self tapping screw and the dissimilar metals corrode the terminal rings. Would guess the same thing can happen on aluminum engine blocks.
-
Separate ground wires for every circuit. When the machines starts to look like black wire spaghetti you're getting close.
-
That would make a nice mount if no one beat you to it.
-
Now you need to clean off that nice paint where it bolts together. (See my post about grounds)

ebinmaine replied to Gary S Minnesota's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Measure your existing piece and I'll see what's in my parts stash. -
C-Series horse power went from 8 to to 16 single cylinder 17 for twins. Hydros could be had with 12hp and higher engines. About 1980 Eaton hydos replaced the Sunstrands

@Bar Nuthin good score , if nothing else , get a good penetrating oil spray down on that , to feed that dried chalky paint , retain / recover original patina , also a good time to use a threading die nut , on the lever end of the chute swing rod ? what could you possibly do ? pick up a matching threaded screw on knob , local h/ ware , big box , much better with gloves / mittens , pam spray chute , for slick discharge . also like a snow slider gasket under the chute base , for effortless swing . agree on the auger blade , rebend , chain / cable spray on auger drive , have regularly tweaked , any hang up spots , sold one like that years ago , pete

Gary S Minnesota replied to Gary S Minnesota's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
It appears that the rubber piece is molded rubber, not an actual O ring. I will take a closer look at replacing it. Other wise I’d be happy to purchase a replacement dip stick from you if available. Thanks for your response Gary
