to the It all looks clean in the pictures. Has it been stored outside? It would certainly be capable of handling the mowing and towing chores. I personally prefer hydro transmissions and hydraulic lifts especially for snow removal. $1500 seems a bit high. A clean 300 series is 6-700 a good 42 or 48" deck 2-300 good tall chute blower 200 Good Luck.

That should fit either of the machines you mentioned. When using a tiller, 8 speeds are far superior. The tiller "pushes" the tractor so low 1st gear works very well. You can use with a hydro but you will fight against the tiller any time it's digging.

Tire tube size?
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to compston_family@hotmail.c's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
16" diameter and 4" wide for an 8" diameter wheel. The 4" is the inflated width between the tread and the wheel. That can change with different widths of wheel. -
Tire tube size?
compston_family@hotmail.c replied to compston_family@hotmail.c's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I don't have it in front of me, but I looked online, and came up with 16x4.00-8, whatever that means! M -
What is the size on the tire? Guessing you just have 4. 80/4.00 -8 tires? Any tube in that same size will work. https://ebay.io/m/wZyJyA

Oh ... well quit getting me excited then Still a pretty cool piece ...
-
These are 3.50 - 6" vs. the 8" in your picture. But definitely cool with the 3/4" roller bearings.

Repro tires can be had but do you have any idea what those rims are worth??? Guard them with your life. They are the same rims used on very early RJs and are hen's teeth is that condition.

Hi guys, What tube should I get for the tires on my 701? I'm confused by the designations on the tires. Thanks for your help! Mike

The back story. Suposedly my stepson bought this tractor from Tom @Shynon a few years back. Tom says he don't remember it but he's gettin old and CRS either. My man Ryan needed money for a bad decision and sold it to this guy I got it from who never did nothin with it either. So now it's goin back to MN to Tom's boy @prondzy. nuthin like keepin in the family in a round about way! No idea what his plans are for it but I know what I would do. A frame off mechanical resto maybe some of greasy Pete's suggestions or some thing. No painting here it does have a groovy patina and what might need some paint due to welding and whatnot re-patina. It has been messed with by the looks of the painted over decals on the hood stand but it really doesn't look terrible. The good ...It's all there ... All the important stuff anyway and no deal breakers. The fenders are pointed @ri702bill but have a rusty primer look so they have been messed with. Yes the trademark struts are gone but easy fab so not a deal breaker. The belt guard is not original and was never finished. No stop tab for the belt & top mount, no cutout for the tranny input pulley and no mounting hole. Very usable tho. Tom thought maybe Lowell made it but he CRS too. The price of admission right here. . The dog guarding... The bad ... The steering is way sloppy. Drag link or bolts wallowed out. & the fan gear likes to jump a tooth. Hood front mount needs love & tank threads may need helicoils. The dash, cables, & switches & wiring all need updating of course. Wrong seat but squares are out there yet. The battery might be toast but seems to be doing well on a recovery charger at this point. No deal breakers here either. The ugly... actually there is no ugly other than the nice protective coating all over the frame and lower motor. It really is amazing the shape this is in for the age. Mike commented at Portage he was in the hunt for one for his boy. Pretty sure this is it Mike.

Was looking for a decent sulky to use at tractor and engine shows or perhaps in parades. Was even considering building one, when I stumbled across this one nearby. The seat suspension caught my eye right away. With the exception of a drill hole at the rear hitch plate, it appears to be completely unmolested. Shame that one of the Goodyear tires holds air and looks great - the other one is split on the sidewall. I had intentions of getting a sulky and modifying it with some upgrades. With this one being so original, any I'll try to keep any mods as bolt-ons. A.I. keeps telling me it is David Bradley. I found another one on eBay and they're calling it a '50s era Toro. Anyone else have any idea?

520H to 512H project
sqrlgtr replied to nyquil junkie's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Bill me thinks he's trying to go with the hydro and lift controls on the steering column of the 520H (I like um to), reason for the swap over. 0mis reason for swap. -
Last night I went to see John Mellencamp at Jones Beach Theater. It’s a great place to see a concert, it’s right on the water on a barrier island between the ocean and bay. I wore my Mellencamp shirt from The Lonesome Jubilee Tour in 1987!!! People loved it! I was 17 when I got that shirt 39 years ago at the same venue. Happy to say it still fits! I’ve seen him 4-5 times and have to say John’s voice is a little raspy now but he is still rockin’ hard at 74 years old. It made me laugh though, when I looked around I realized that the average age of the audience was about 60 years old!!

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Today after a Zoom meeting I had in the morning. I worked on the C-141’s loose hub, and accidental red oversprayed headlight lens. After a paint thinner wipe on the clear part of the lens, and a wipe of the bulbs it was all set. the old setscrew (left) and the new (right) After a clean off with some PB Blaster and a skim of high temp wheel bearing grease I was going to put the old hub back but it still wobbled so…. 3 hours later… I robbed one off the trailer I have. I swapped the old warped hub for the identical and in better condition good hub on the trailer. Once that was on, I put the tire back on, I was done. It seemed to be much more solid feeling. -
Hey wait a minute I thought the father was supposed to give a dowry??? Better be more than chickens and a goat too!

Maybe I'll start flying with my cordless drill and a 1/8" drill bit

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Desko replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Did some work on the 520 today which included replacing the bent/busted dash and bezel along with a new light switch from A-Z, and a new vacuum gauge, I don’t know if you can get a new one that says toro anymore but Stewart Warner still makes the style that came on the older 520s which works for me. Still need to get new bulbs for the rest of the gauges though. While I had everything out of the way I also fixed the wiring and replaced the fuse box which took care of most of the electrical issues but still need to address the 9 pin. It was also charging all over the place so I threw a new regulator on and that seems to be working good now so hopefully it’ll be a solid worker when it’s all back together -

Just Don't Find Them Like This Too Often...
SylvanLakeWH replied to WHX??'s topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
@rjg854 I've been lusting it over myself, that would be a perfect horse for my little lady. Regardless which one of you guys @squonk @WHX?? @rjg854 buys it - hurry up! Kevin's starting to play with groundhogs he's so bored... Boy needs something to occupy his new hauler and if my little A- 60 girl is going anywhere it's gonna be in covered style this time... although she is a bit worried about the gentlemen who are courting her, but I'm comfortable with anyone as long as they got the proper dowry... -
What's wrong with that one? Don't usually see those go bad?

We are going to have to change the belt on my grandpas craftsman soon. Same as yours but ours is a manual I wonder how much different it wil be? Surprised it’s lasted this long he uses it everything single day either driving around or towing a trailer for the last 5 years!

Welcome to Red Square. Sounds reasonable to me but I'm in that foreign country to the north. It would be worth asking the seller to walk you through the removal of the mower deck. Then ask if they would install the snowthrower. That way any loose pieces should not get missed and there are a few. Raising the thrower is assisted by a spring - armstrong without it since you have no hydraulic lift. If you can get the model and serial numbers off each we should be able to link you to the correct manuals.

Headlight Bucket Refurb
sqrlgtr replied to sqrlgtr's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Funny I had a trailer plug that I was going to use but could only find one side of it. Probably step on it tomorrow . I tied hot wires coming from light sockets together then used bullet connectors for them and ground wire fer a quick disconnect. Also put inline fuse between light switch and ignition switch fer peace of mind. -
I may be in the minority here but I'd rather find known good used on most Kohler electrical parts. Contact @76c12091520h Brian Badman Or CALL Lincoln at A to Z Tractor in PA
