Yep! As Usual Buffalo,N.Y. got hit. Where were at we got Maybe15" The worst I think I saw was Nashville that got a Tremeandious amount of Freezing Rain. Tree limbs snaping taking out power lines. -
Pretty much over and it sounds like this one found some weakness. My stuff ran okay. The little 2 stroke blower needs and edge and paddles. And the old xi slows a bit when the trans gets hot, (I knew about the trans but not sure if I am going to switch out to another machine or repair) After the storm.

Go with an 8 speed open diff. This is what can happen to the 6 speed 10 pinion with limited slip if you push it too far. The 10 pinion lasted 3/4 of a pulling season. I replaced it with an 8 pinion open diff from a 520H, this diff will be starting it's 3rd season this year.

Need to have the engine Spec Number. Then go to the Kohler parts manual for that engine to find a part number and

I like that. I have a Gen Tent on mine. I works great Generator Covers - NFPA Rated | GenTent Safety Canopies

That's exactly what it is. 7ah. I purchased it when my puter ups signaled a battery issue. Turns out the ups was bad. The engine on the generator is a 420cc and it calls for a minimum of 9ah. I had the 7 on the shelf so what the heck. It worked fine......until it didn't. I had been starting it with the yank rope and didn't even have a battery in it since I purchased the generator. I also installed a pigtail with an Anderson connector and cut a cheap set of jumper cables in half and put Andersons on them. Now, as an option, I could plug the cables in and jump to a car or tractor. I just decided to install the battery and now I like it in there so I have another 9ah cheapie on order. I went cheap because I'm planning on modifying the battery holder and installing a real battery this summer. I just recently charger it with a NAPA 1.5a charger/maintainer and I'm wondering if it's working properly. That's something to look at on another day. You're right, the terminals are cheesy but it starts with little more than a bump.

Probably not up to code but works great for us.

John if you decide to retire, you won’t be sorry. But again you can always work part time. This will give you something to do every day for a few hours and the rest is yours to do whatever you want.

I'm Not Sure Why, But I Now Have a B-80
Racinbob replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
You'd need to run the threads further or lose lift height. You could move the trunnion to one of the forward holes to regain that but lifting that center lift bar too much will cause it to hit the steering gear support. -
If yours is a 4 pinion it's not original to a 1976 B.
-
The 5091 and 103907 are the same transmission. Both 8-speeds, both with 1.125" axles and neither have the 7235 spring. You are right is saying your B-100 is essentially the same as the C-series. In 1976 and 1977 ONLY the difference between the B's and C's are as follows: B's had low back seats, C's high back. B's had 22-7.50 rears, C's 23-8.50 but if you went for the optional cleats both were the larger. Headlights optional on B's, standard on C's. Of course the horsepower. A few other minor things. Don't let the 74 and 75's confuse things. Those B's were medium frame and 4-speeds. Starting in 1978 the B's became lawn tractors. Keep in mind that it was very common for owners to swap things out over the 50 years. I can attest to that as I purchased a 1976 B-80 brand new and still have it. The mods over the years that I did have been countless. Eric posted while I was typing. All good stuff.

Correct. NOT Correct.... for 1976/77 the transmissions are the same. The B and C series both used the heavy duty 8 speed 8 pinion transmission. The 4 pinion transmission in the 1970s was only in the 1974/75 B series which was a 4 speed. Not 8. Unfortunately, no. At the base it's a geometry issue... Circles & squares. The Wheelhorse Limited Slip Differential was a 10 pinion design that arranged the gears in a circle. The spring is placed under tension between what is effectively two circles of 5 gears each. There are both 6 and 8 speed versions of that and it ended in 1972. The 8 speed 8 pinion Open Differential started in 1973. All 1 1/8" axle transmissions from then up used 8 gears arranged in a square. The 8 pinion design is quite a lot more robust than the 10 pinion. @Handy Don could explain the difference better than I. Perhaps @Racinbob can confirm. I believe it was basically headlamps being optional vs standard, steering wheel, and seat differences. The B series had the 8 to 10 HP engines where the C series was 10 to 16. B60 and B80 were all manual transmission. The rest could be hydros.

Nowhere near the original forecast here. We're currently setting with 11" of very fluffy snow on the side deck. Driveway likely has a touch more. It appears that we won't see much more.

The elusive and expensive one... as I recall, only used in one application, and only one size.

All will physically bolt up to your frame. BUT, there are differences between the 6 and 8 speed versions. Your 1976 tractor is a long frame style, uses two pedals - a clutch and a brake? If so, you should be looking for an 8 speed - the brake works the same. Earlier 6 speeds are different, similar to early 3 speeds. You will need to deal with the HI-LO shifter - a hole would need to be added to the sheet metal. Same for the Dipstick / tube. Look for an 8 speed from an early C series, like a C81. That has the 8 pinions and 1-1/8" axles. The later 300 series use the 1" axles.

Bought this one in 2002. 1991 520-H. Same oil as the 312-8. Still own it. Twin cylinder.
-
I was thinking of just doing a belt from the pto to a pulley with a chain that goes to the center of the shaft on the tiller but it might not work I think I will just have to have a play around
-
I would wonder if there was a difference in what you can get away from between single cylinder and twin cylinder oil grades.
-
Thank You. I see the difference is mine has 4 pinion gears and the other is 8 pinion. Nothing wrong with mine right now, just a little seepage. I was just curious. I wonder if the 7235 can be retrofitted at rebuild.
-
I like how you think sir!

Well we got about 2 inches of sleet. I'm not complaining because our power stayed on and we're safe and warm. Had the generator and alternate heaters all staged and ready but we didn't need them this time. Luckily very little freezing rain for this area. I'm very thankful! Temps will stay below freezing for the week. Roads were brine sprayed but they are now solid sheets of ice. We got plenty to eat so we'll stay home and wait it out.

Maybe a 2 or 3 sided "dog house" type structure. Maybe wheels on it so it can be moved and or turned easily. They sell little generator cover thingys too but... https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=generator+covers+while+running&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2332490.m570.l1311
