What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
sqrlgtr replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
yeah, it doesn't feel quite right when it toggles. Looks like I should be able to find a replacement pretty easy, looks like it is just a common size rocker but IDK fer sure. @cafoose may have one on a parts tractor I could "borrow"... -

16 Auto with welded hub
ineedanother replied to ineedanother's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Oh yeah, the hub is trash, and pretty much was before the "repair". -
I suppose it depends on the condition of the axle. Once mine spun, I think I lost enough tolerance that there was no getting the tight enough to hold. Not being able to use a key didn't help either. My keyways were wallered out terribly. The repair hubs worked great until I put them under heavy load.

Yeah, that's great that he does that. I sent one to him but he felt like the pitting on the rod was too much so I just replaced it. Not many places will touch that for what he charges so huge kudos to him for doing that for us. -
Prolly your best bet if your not afraid to tear into it. What kinda shape is the hub in. Guessing trashed??

Hey Eric, do you happen to know by spec or otherwise how to identify that? I'm definitely curious. -
I sent one of the welded cylinders to Lowell at wheelhorse parts and more. He cuts them open and refurbishes them. Came back good as new, maybe better. I now have a few of each type. I just ordered two seal kits for the serviceable type.

I'll tear this one down at some point and look for an axle if everything else checks out. Not sure I'll go to the extent of welding and turning. We don't have a lathe big enough in our shop at work (not a machine shop, just maintenance). -

That's a good find and somewhat rare here in NC. I have a couple and really like them. I've torn them down and cleaned them up so I understand the engineering and physics. That welded cylinder is a challenge now for me. I think at this point there is good value in the cylinders with the threaded end to make rebuilds easier, not requiring cutting and re-welding. -
My last cup of something hot was at the circle track Friday night. There was a north wind and lower 50's and it was dog gone cold sitting on those bleachers. Hot Chocolate was welcomed even though it was in a Styrofoam cup. Hot tea would have been the preferred drink.
-
I was under the understanding they were bullet proof? Maybe not?? You stlll could ... remove it build it back up with weld, turn it to size and cut keyway. Course all that work I have Sunnys I was gonna damn near give away at the BS.
-
Too bad you're not closer. I just picked up a rear end from a C-160 that looks to have good axles. I bought it for the hydraulic lift components.

I like the idea of the wood block floor. It is unique and certainly fits into the style of his shop. If I were to install one, I think, instead of used motor oil, I'd use use a commercial preservative. When we rebuilt a stone barn and replaced the floor joists, The owner provided some kind of termite/preservative (as required by the building inspector) that we painted on the ends of each floor joist that fit into notches in the rock walls. This stuff was very thin and soaked deep into the wooden joists. I don't think the motor oil, even if it was thinned with diesel like we did on houses in the Philippines, wouldn't soak in very deep. Somewhere, I have seen floors that looked like 2x4's laid end grain up in an old public building such as an old auditorium with a varnish finish. I assume they were laid over a cement base and glued in place? A floor like that ought to last a couple of lifetimes. As usual, topics on this site cause me to research further, There are a host of companies that offer end grain flooring.

Have a local small engine repair shop that services tractors? The fuel tank grommet is one that most manufacturers use in their plastic tanks so has become a universal grommet.

Yeah, I think I actually have bearings and seals here which is why I was hoping the axle was salvageable. I have a milling machine at work and could have cut a new keyway in that axle had it not been butchered to this extent. -
Without a picture verifying his signature I wouldn't put too much credibility in it...

I've not seen that and would be interested if you have any current insight... -
I had bad axles on my C-120 Auto. I used the clamp on hubs as a repair, but they too eventually began to slip - while doing some heavy plowing. I ended up replacing the differential assembly (w/good axles). A member here had some spares and made me a good deal. Was an easy fix. You can remove the RH transaxle casing (on the tractor) while leaving all the gears in place. I went ahead and installed new axle seals while I was at it. And, of course, you'll need to replace at least one hub.
-
Came across this today. Question is the signature authentic? It's somewhat faded and dust covered so the pics aren't the clearest. I didn't want to mess with it too much I woulda ended up having to buy it. I estimated it's value 450-550 to the seller. Was I right or wrong? For reference some sigs that are considered legit.

I think I would give A-Z a shot if I didn't have another one sitting right here but swapping it out is hard to argue against since that one has been rebuilt. I know what I have now which was today's exercise. - Yesterday

Siskel and Ebert give it a BIG thumbs up.
-
I would think a A-Z clamp on might work on that. Sure he don't give them away but you figure by the time you find a replacement and taking it all apart??? Weld the hole shut file smooth??
