Personally, I would just clean up your old points. The material they use on the new points just don't seem to last like the old ones did. This can be said of the Kohler ones as well.

I'm Not Sure Why, But I Now Have a B-80
BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
This morning I jury rigged some wiring so I could start the motor and do some testing. Once I got it started, that's a different issue that I'll post about shortly, the stator puts out 15 volts at a low idle and upwards of 40 volts when I'm revving the engine. I connected regulator using my A, B, C designations for reference, battery to B, and AC wires to A & C. I got zero output from the regulator. The ammeter was showing a discharge and eventually my battery died. Once the battery is charged I'll try configuring the regulator the way it was connected when I bought it, which is AC to A & B and battery to C. -
Nice! A low hours machine... Excellent potential there.

Good sources for tires when you do decide: https://www.millertire.com/categories/lawn-garden-tires/ https://lawnmowertirestore.com/lawn-garden/lawn-mower-tires.html Amazon is good as well. Here's my setup for plowing. Carlisle Tru Power 23x10.5-12 ags for the rear and Vredestein 16x6.5-8 V61 5 rib for the front. All are fluid filled and weighted.

The switch is laid out just like the diagram in the operations manual. Also, I did verify using a meter that each position was active in the appropriate switch positions. -

Do you happen to have a link to either the eBay or member websites ect that include the coil points and condenser so I know what exactly to get? How much should the coil alone cost these days? I was told back in April that a set of points and condenser should be about $18.00.

I picked up another WH very close to home. 2 miles away. The fellow moved into a new housing plan with very little yard and no need for it. Very good price as it is off season here.He said it was used to mow a half acre field next to his old house about 6 times a year. I think I have to believe him. No rust just dirty which I will address. It will need a new seat and a hood as he said the hood met with a tree limb. Deck shows no rot or rust at all. Oils are clean. He said he serviced it regular. To dang cold to do much yet. Will probably start with the deck first for a good power wash when weather permits. It will be a camp tractor. It does have the 15 amp charging system. It probably will become a Burgundy stripe machine. 1990 vintage.

@PeacemakerJack has an amazing build or rebuild or re-re-rebuild was it? on his family’s 875. It has a wealth of knowledge in it, and all kinds of timeless photos of working that tractor in its new years in the 60’s and 70’s I think. One photo that really hit home to me, is his father plowing the garden with turfs and chains. It seems today that we as a society need the newest, the best, the innovation to accomplish a simple task. Remember that our grandfather’s best camouflage was a red flannel and sitting still. With all that said, turfs and chains do pretty alright in the dirt! I’d run them, if needed and have plenty in the past.

I get mine off Amazon - It does take a little careful research to be sure you're ordering genuine OEM , but they are still available. I buy amazon because of their strict return policy - if the seller ships me a non-OEM part I can return as "not as described" - some of them try to get around it by changing the wording in their description to something like "OEM Quality" but with a little critical thinking you can usually spot the actual OEM suppliers. Often they are known reputable businesses , distributors, etc. If I have any doubts or they are not being found on Amazon I'll go to Partstree or Ereplacement parts - even though I'm paying a price that is usually jacked up 15% to 20% above MSRP, it is worth it to me. There's also a number of sellers on Red Square that also sell on ebay or on their own websites where you can be pretty confident in getting the real thing.

Morning, Wondering if there’s a recommendation dealer or place at a resonable price to get a Genuine Kohler points, Condenser and coil for my 856 to start my ignition system fresh and new.

I got to thinking about this and my last snafu I was working on Frankie and needed to run it and check some things. Robbed a battery out of another and hooked it up in Frankie. Hit start (I have one of those solenoids with the button to activate, tractor is not wired yet) and the starter just spun, the bend-ex did not engage. Worked fine the last time. HMMMM Messed around poking and prodding. Well got to take starter off. Went to unhook battery and seen the + and - crossed. Starter was spinning backward. That bend-ex was never coming out. Hmmm dumb a$$. I believe I done this on an xi with using the key switch one time.

I went to start tiny two stroke Toro snowthrower yesterday. Gas full. Check. Primer pumped. Check. Choke on. Check. 5 or 6 starter rope pulls later with no indication of it wanting to start. Step back, scratch head. Ignition on? Not check.

I have not had good luck with ag tires except in dirt. I see you want to turn dirt and ag tire application fits nicely, I have not seen to many using anything but ag tires in dirt. @Pullstarthas some experience, maybe he can shed some light on the subject? Kev anyone using turfs and chains?

Im looking for The forward / reverse motion control lever from a late 70s to mid 80s WheelHorse C series tractor... Must be from an Eaton 11 Transmission. Thanks.

Apparently I didn't hit the go button on an earlier attempt to post. She's all done. I opted for a very simple setup fully 'portable' if the blower would end up on a different tractor. Simply plugged in to a power point and a magnet on the control box. I pointed the ram down because I'm thinking that would be the area most likely to let water in. As far as spinning the entire chute I'm good with that manual crank.

How you coming with this Bob? You get serious about blowing rather than pushing the chute turner is the cat's meow.

Oh do I have a bunch of these ... Gas cock off/tank empty ... multiple times. Trying to diagnose no start with the spark wire not on the coil...

X4 on 2 link Vee Bar chains on turf tires. Good in mud, dirt, and excellent on ice, packed snow, and frozen ground. Poor on bare paved surfaces. Easy to remove for mowing. Oh, to the

Splash lubrication should be kept inside the engine.

Exactly my strategy when I must operate the tractor on sloped areas. I use 2-link chains on “all purpose” treads and they dramatically improve traction for braking as well as pulling.

I’ll copy the text, and share the link for photos: I’m sure I’ve missed quite a bit on RedSquare since Thanksgiving, but I can attest that the U.S.S. Arizona still leaks her oil to this day. Pearl Harbor is a somber tomb, and active military base all at the same time. The hustle and bustle of the 1.2 million population city on such a small island relatively seems to drown out the reality of what took place all those years ago. It’s like we step into this base from a small NYC, and anre expected to change gears from that hustle to paying respects. I wish there was no bustle, I wish it was not so grown up. I don’t know if irony has a place in this story, but the aircraft carrier coming into port for the day was the U.S.S. Nimitz. As with any military vessel coming into or leaving port, Her crew stands attention lining the deck paying respects due to the Arizona and Missouri, until their commanding officer gives the signal to return to their normal duties aboard the ship. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/114021-pearl-harbor-day/?tab=comments#comment-1254663
