Hi all, started working on my 856, ended up rebuilding the engine and while waiting for parts started working on steering, lots of slop. Pulled tie rods, steering wheel and shafts. Front of frame was wollowed and shaft end worn. Steering block got two bushings and steering wheel shaft cleaned up, installed upper dash bushing, reinforced bushing with steel puddy and new lock collar. Ordered hiem joints for tie rods and will machine new rods when I get parts

The Vanguard block is aluminum, not cast iron. Start fine and go less fine if required. To plane the block deck, I have (2) Arkansas sharpening stones, 2"W X 8"L X 1"T, light gray and white in color. The lighter the color the finer the grit. I have also wrapped 1500 grit emery paper around the stone.

Get on youtube and search for it, or for a channel called OKOFFROADMOWERS, behold the awesomeness of it all!

1000 grit is next to nothing, you would need 240 backed up by a very flat surface.

That's good to know! Nothing against 65 but I like the year 67 better!

Nice tractor. Your tractor is a 1967, Model 1077. 1967 was the first year for the parking brake lever on the center counsel and the last year to use foot stirrups instead of running boards.

You are awesome, sir! Thank you!

Causing a torn rotator cuff. Ask me how I know! -
Don't know where you get your wood but I wouldn't count on it being flat enough to remove material for a flat surface. If your cylinder head has been flattened on a sheet of glass you could place it on the cylinder deck, lightly tighten the head bolts and use feeler gauges to check for irregularities.

I will put one in an envelope today.

Yep, sad that Wheel Horse followed the flock and changed to the current PTO system with the save an idiot safety switches. to the reaper

Thank you to all of my fellow Vietnam Era Veterans and those who continue to keep our country free.

The engine on the 1965 and 1966 would have been a 241AS and the engine on your Wheel Horse is a 241S and the PTO is 1967 or later while the seat is a 1965 to 1967 unit so I'm going to say it is a 1967 model 1077.

Deck or head?

It seems like the oil traveled about an inch, then stopped. I finished the oil job on this but have not let it soak in the sun much yet. In due time. -
Thank you!!! I think this is the correct order - #33907

4.00-8 Deestone D401 Tri-rib 3 Rib Tires & Tubes 4 ply
123Go replied to "Manic-Mechanic"'s topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Well' better late than never I'm told..lol I hope this helps someone in the future. My 414-8 fronts are Deestone Easy Steer Tri-Ribs (4x8). Wheel Horse GT rims I think?? Sorry I bought my rims off EBay yrs ago. If you look for narrow rims you might watch out for wheels with the steel center caps (tapered bearings). I have two sets, they're 8" rims & like 3 1/4" & 3 1/2" width bead to bead. Other members here might know other narrow sizes & tractors they came on, idk? Most front rims are 4" to 5" wide though. I prefer the WH rims with tapered bearing like older Cars/Trucks, Campers, Boat trailers etc.. The center axle hole size can be changed out via bearing size if one chooses, so it could fit 3/4, 1/2 axle dia if needed? Smoother rolling wheels & their center hole dont wear out & wobble like a non bearing wheel with age, just the bearing will so its a cheap fix. Tapered bearings are tougher than a reg ball bearing setup, its built for highway speed, higher heat & pothole abuse. Just saying. If you find them grab them. Fyi- Deestone Easy Steers high center rib raises your tire up on the harder surfaces so a tractor turns one handed. But in mud/soft dirt the ribs sink in so the tire grips instead of sliding across the top of the soil. My Rears are Carlisle Super Lug 23x9.50x12 or so I think? Not near it to see, never been off so idk actual Rim Width? I traced the letters with a white Paint marker so don't go searching for white letter Super Lugs. lol I put bolts though the back side of my hubs & use (chrome) Lug nuts on front side. Much easier to install my wheels, its like fitting car rims on the rear now. Hope this helps, sorry long! -
