2026 Big Show Buy/Sell/Trade Thread
Pullstart replied to Pullstart's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
Just deliver them to my barn, and I’ll pay for fuel to the show. ✅ -
So sorry for you and your families loss. Dogs become incredible family members, so hard when it’s their time to go.
-
it is! I won’t be able to ship for about a week, or I can meet you at the Big Show.

What Shoes Do You Wear?
Pullstart replied to Thegearhead0324's topic in non tractor related discussion
It’s funny you ask… 😎 -
There is nothing in those pulleys that has a high level of accuracy. Just a stamping with a bearing in the middle. I did the drill and bolt thing, just to time consuming. Now I take a grinder with a cut wheel and cut 6 slots. I started out using a chisel to bend the tabs but use the press to just push through the tabs. Pop in the new bearing and bend the tabs over. I have done at least a dozen with no problems. Just another option from an old bush mechanic.

@peter lena pete trying to get side shields off started this hole thing ,buggerd up shield, bearng was good, not any more. @razorback I'm going to bearing distributors, called and they have them. So when I get some information I'll let you know. @ri702bill I'll see if I can get some 5-40 button head screws .

I agree... I mill off the heads of the rivets and drive the body of the rivets out. Replace the sealed bearing with a new one. Buff the halves on a wire wheel before assembly. I use #5-40 Button head screws - 1/4" or 5/15" long with a dab of blue Loctite on the threads and then the hexnut. This way, they are easily rebuildable later on instead of riveting. a light coat of Rusty metal Primer and a spritz of red - better than new...

Mike Prodzinski in Minnesota has been rebuilding these #1623 pulleys for several years. I had him redo several of mine. Years ago i bought a bucket of them at ghe Big Show - about 1:3 were still useable. Maybe he can give you some pointers on the rebuild!

I use small bolts ,lock washers, and nuts....cause I have tons ofem.

@gt14rider regular reference to this bearing issue , personally always go for the WIDE RUBBER SIDE SHIELDS , thats what you want ? unknown grease in there , small flat pocket screwdriver or small flat putty knife , easy removed with no damage at all , pop off both sides , Walmart , lucas x-tra heavy duty green chassis grease , wipe out all original grease , carb cleaner aerosol , flushing , hand pack bearing , reinstall seals , lube is 550 deg flash point , also polyurea rated , so it stays with the issue , done this in every related , pto driven bearing , guess what ? NO WHYINING BEARING NOISE , or related failures , @Razorback , personally love repetitive failures , track it down and kill it , make a change . mule drive bearings also re lubed , no belt squealing , just easy smooth wind up , that pto lever start up area is a GOLD MINE , for operational delight , heim joint end swivel , pete

Hmmmmm….. that’s a good question. I think I would go the solid route to possibly be the strongest? Also, you mentioned the bearings. Can you post the details for the bearing for future reference?
-
Hi all, trouble finding a good 1623. Can get the bearings local. My question is can I use these pop rivets or get solid rivets and peen them over? Thanks

One could also use square bar tubing. My seats are mounted this way. I need extra distance backward.

I almost put the link too but then I realized that this is in the introductions.

Do you mean the belt pulley and guard I have in the buy sell thread?
-
Glad you found us, please take a few minutes to do an introduction and tell us a bit about your Wheel Horse. Here is a link for intro. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/47-introductions/

I think anything that would direct the air toward #2 cylinder insted of letting it escape around the oil filter would work. I have tried running mine without for a minute or two just to see how much air you loose and it is indeed a lot!
-
would you be willing to ship me the pulley and the guard on my dime, I'm not sure if I'll make the show this year.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Harry Gant in the grandstands at New Smyrna, FL, Speedway one summer evening. His daughter lives there and he was visiting her shortly after his retirement from Cup racing. As the various divisions would run their races he would comment on how easy some of the faster cars were to pass because they were concentrating on going fast rather than winning. He is now in the NASCAR Hall of Fame which is a well deserved honor.

Perfect for mounting predator motors to C series tractors... exact height needed for the belt guard...
