The HY2 and HY3 are identical except for the bellcrank. HY2 fits the PITA to remove shaft thru the tube design 1961 and 1962 tractors, HY3 has the bellcrank that is easy to remove with 2 bolts for the 1963 and 64, possibly more years than that. No Automatics those years...

The solid downforce bar on my C81 has a "Z" shaped jog at the upper end for that additional clearance issue... -
Copper.... I used to work for a Company that made Manual and Automated Resistance Welders. I dealt with the assembly end - often had to fabricate Buss Bars made of half-hard copper then apply the silver paste coating. Cutting, bending, and machining the copper flat bars was bad enough - try tapping it. Not easy. The drilled holes often were bell mouthed as the copper "grows" from the heat generated from drilling. We had to use plenty of a fast-evaporating tapping fluid to keep the material cool; other wise the heat makes the copper grab the tap, it either taps oversize or snaps the tap... This shop was in Massachusetts; I learned how to "Cuss like a Kennedy"!!

Trying to set the forum on its ear, eh? 🤣

I like the concept, and it’s terrific as long as it’s a direct pull. For some implements the link needs an offset needed for clearance. -
If you're looking for a near bolt in, there are some sears / craftsman rigs that use the same engine. Or, obviously a Kohler of either single or twin cylinder configuration.

It is the 29th of November it is 31 degrees and tomorrow they forecast snow. I am declaring victory over the leaves and quitting...Enough is enough' The GT-1848 Auto did a great job, much faster and easier than the C-175-8 I used to use...

I saw the peen marks & figured thats where I need to start looking. Looks like its got the potential to turn into a big repair. May consider trying to find a repower option instead??? Gotta look into whats the best financial option.

Open the sealed bearings and install the grease of your choice. Brushes are brushes. Doesn't matter where it's from. The bean counters are building junk here just like everywhere else

Exhaust valve seat. Check for it being cracked or poorly done re-seating (note the peened pin punch divots around the seat) if the counterbore for the seat was worn it can leak around the valve seat, if the seat was not perfectly square to the valve face when it was peened in place then valve isn't seating fully - can sometimes get away with just lapping in the valve to the seat, but odds are need seat re-cut and then valve clearance adjusted (or maybe adjust valve clearance first to see if that does the trick?) It was common for those exhaust valve seats to get loose from overheating and then they just kept running them with the loose seat which pounded away the surrounding aluminum - it's *usually* fixable but often need special tools (valve seat cutter - around $500+ for the tool kit from Neway) and/or replace the seats (perhaps local machine shop could manage it?)

This may be my next project. I know Blasphemy. But it was free and it runs but not up to snuff. 12 horse tecky. Has deck and plow. Before picture. I hope I dont get bashed to bad.

Mike I would like to say I put that case coil on the 1056 rat that I have cannot believe the difference on startup turn the key and it’s running amazing. So I’d like to thank you for all the information that you gave me. I like it so much I bought anther one. There on EBay he is Ct. If you look it is this picture in the add.
-
Thanks. That's the exact same search I ran before I made this post. At a minimum, I believe the two "non-stock" lifts I have are HY-6 - maybe The confusing part for me comes with matching hoses for older lift kits to new Sundstrand models. The ORB fittings are different sizes, even though the lift cylinders seem to be the same.

Got the head off. 1st pic is how it was before turning engine over by hand. Gotta now figure out where the no compression issue is coming from 20251129_115138.mp4

I grew up watching ads and commercials so I don't mind it. I just love the fact that I can get just about anything I want to see with no subscriptions.
-
I tried one, but unless you pay for a subscription to the movie channels such as Netflix, Paramount, Apple+, Hulu, etc. you are forced to watch with ads and commercials. Some folks have found ways to "jailbreak" them and get stuff commercial-free, but that's not legal. I have settled on Now Internet from Xfinity for $30/month, and a subscription to Hulu + LiveTV and get everything I need.

@sqrlgtr like the idea of adapting to a consistent problem , then obviousely , tweaking that change , @ri702bill like your set up, is that grease on the quadrant pin slide area ? , just horsin , have also added 3/8 heavy eye bolts to the lower hood to frame spot , excellent spot to experiment with A LUBRICATED TURNBUCKLE / to heavy spring , to dial an initial lift assist , careful adjustment lets you find much easier lift to ground contact point . every time I use it the initial lift assist is just enough , compared to no spring lift assist , pete -
I have one of these and I love it. https://vseebox.com/v5pro/ Gets all these channels https://www.vseebox.net/pages/channel-list Also has video on demand with most all movies and TV shows ever aired from the 1950's to current. It also gets most every sports game including all NFL games from every region. It's takes a little to figure out how to navigate it but well worth it. Best part is, it's a one time purchase price of $299 on sale from Walmart.com, regularly $339. No monthly fees. Everything free after initial purchase. If your internet providers are not good enough I suggest getting Starlink which gives you decent internet anywhere. https://starlink.com/ I just have broadband fiber internet, firestick, and Vseebox and have all the TV I need for just the monthly fee of the internet.

HY-? Lift Designations
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to Bar Nuthin's topic in Implements and Attachments
This is what we have for the HY- and they are in a random order. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?&q="hy-"&type=downloads_file&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy -
I often see the Hydraulic lifts (and parts) referred to with acronyms like HY2, HY5, HY6, etc. Is there a post or file that breaks down the different designations? All three of my tractors have hydraulic lifts, but only one is completely stock. It gets confusing when looking for parts - not knowing the differences.

Whatever's handy.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Blue Chips replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
And that's the deluxe model tool kit. The basic kit is just a stick.
