What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
CasaytheMann replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Per your questions and input I've done some more research. I used different terminology in my web search. There is a gas station 10 minutes away that sells ethanol free gas. I'll drive by soon and verify it. Because of what you all said about the damage to rubber I disassembled the carburetor. I found 2 o-rings that were in bad shape. I'm sure that had something to do with the carb leaking gas. I did put Stabil 360 in my last purchase of gas. Supposedly it deals with ethanol, although it doesn't specify how. I ordered a rebuild kit for the carb, and I'm installing new fuel line and fuel filter. I will also clean the fuel tank because it's currently empty. Ebinmaine mentioned a fuel pump too, but I don't think my B & S 15.5hp engine has one. Fuel goes from the tank right to the carb. Thanks for helping this "frowned upon" vertical out.😉 -

Loaded the 1076, plow, and deck for the Steam-o-Rama show tomorrow. Hopefully this rain will stop tomorrow. -

704 Rebuild

The saga of the super slow rebuild continues! -
https://www.thenandnowautomotive.com/ There were a few different styles of pumps Kohler used (look alike on the outside) so make sure which one you have before ordering. Give them a call if you have any questions. I have had good luck dealing with them

What is the model number of your tractor? Want to look at the correct diagram to see what you have.

Uni Pro KM 125 is a direct replacement. I got mine from tractorseats.com. They also have the seat switch.

I concur Bob. I do have the style with the offset but I will most likely need it for a 702 resto I have planned or Dan may need it when he restores his. So I can't offer it at this time. Dan I'm not so worried about he has been known to fabricate them if he has one to copy. By my way of thinking I should have an extra if I could find it ... I'll keep looking. The only thing I can suggest for now is put an ad in classifieds/wanted for one.

I'm interested in it so I'll take a look at it Saturday. (Assuming you're bringing it ) Kind of interested in the dump cart too
-
I'd like to say we've seen it all here guy but she's a project alright. Good luck be careful and don't let any magic smoke out.

All gasoline should be stored in tightly sealed containers. Gasoline containing ethanol will suck the moisture right out of the air. I wonder if those that complain about ethanol store the fuel properly and keep gas caps open for the least amount of time possible. Knock on wood but I haven't had an ethanol related problem for about 20 years despite using E10 in everything but the 2 cycle equipment. -
You want to go simple, cheap, and ultra-reliable? Use an inline squeeze bulb like the kind you use to prime an outboard engine on a boat. KISS.

CasaytheMann, when you say "there are no gas stations near you that sell non-ethanol gas" please define 'near you' the reason i and others on here are sooo adamant about using pure gas is because the ethanol crap causes sooo many headaches down the road. i travel a little over 1 hour each way to get pure gas. for me it is time well spent. -
Another MacKissic Mighty Mac thread

Dang! Here’s another one! -
You may be headed down a rabbit hole with little hope of success. I would suggest you go with the simple diagram Jim @WHX?? posted unless you happen to have the John Deere harness and are reasonably knowledgeable on wiring. If you can post the JD wiring diagram we can help you as much as possible if that is the road you decide to go down.

The diagrams are a bit different but the switches should be the same.

But since NASCAR is my one and only sport to watch I guess it was a natural progression from "The Agony of Defeat" to how many cameras are used to present a race on TV. Here are a few more tidbits from NASCAR. April 29 is a significant date in NASCAR history, primarily marked by,the birth of seven-time Cup Series champion Dale Earnhardt Sr. on this day in 1951. Known as "The Intimidator," Earnhardt is recognized as one of the sport's greatest drivers, earning 76 Cup wins, with his legacy celebrated on his birthday. Birth: Ralph Dale Earnhardt was born on April 29, 1951, in Kannapolis, North Carolina. Accomplishments: He won seven NASCAR Cup Series championships (tied for the all-time record) and 76 races. Career Highlights: Earnhardt was the first driver to win the Rookie of the Year (1979) and the Cup Series Championship (1980) in consecutive seasons. "The Intimidator": He became a NASCAR icon in the black No. 3 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. Passing: Earnhardt died on February 18, 2001, following a last-lap crash in the Daytona 500, which led to significant safety advancements in the sport. Other NASCAR Milestones on April 29 2026: On what would have been Earnhardt's 75th birthday, the NASCAR community, including broadcaster Mike Joy, fondly remembered his impact on the sport. 2026: The NASCAR Modified Tour held a race at Oxford Plains, with driver Stephen Kopcik carrying momentum into the event. NASCAR.com +1 Contextual Racing History 2001: Shortly after the 2001 season started, the community was reeling from the loss of Dale Earnhardt, which reshaped safety regulations. 1975: Dale Earnhardt made his Cup Series debut in the World 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, finishing 22nd in a race won by Richard Petty.

The diagrams are different? Or the switches are? It's the switches I'm concerned with .... If a "normally open" switch is placed in a circuit that requires "normally closed" that's a potentially serious problem.
-
They are a little different but I think i will be able to figure out how to wire it all up.

Impressive , playing the fiddle and driving at the same time. -
I've never rewired a JD but I'd suggest avoiding that unless you know for sure the switches ALL work the same. Not saying they do or don't... just that they may be different types and that can present issues.

ebinmaine replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
They HAD to write that .... Reality is a little different. Just be sure to carefully check ALL rubber fuel components. Replace all the lines. Rebuild the carb. Rebuild the fuel pump. Carefully clean out the tank. A little work now saves multitudes of headaches later. -
Thank you for the pointers. I just bought this a few weeks ago. I bought this with another one that has the original engine in it as a parts tractor. The guy I bought it from was also trying to turn the two into one but had no time so he sold them to me. I do know about the tires I do have some just need to put them on the rims. The parts tractor has the shift knob, and the coil holder was a little to small so I used a different one. The gas tank holder/shelf I took off to get to the pto safety button easier. Thank you for the tip on the battery though. I did find a john deere 110 wiring diagram because they have the same kohler engine, and I will try to merge the 110 and the b80 diagrams to hopefully figure out how to wire it up.
