Nah, but she's definitely been used beyond the wear limit of clutch material. I would say a new clutch plate is a good idea (not that it can't be fixed), and that PTO bell needs about 5 minutes in a lathe as a minimum. But just FYI- that style PTO was used on the majority of machines from the early 1980s onward. Finding a decent replacement won't be hard.
-
Agreed. Plus the K181 has ball bearings at both ends of the crank. No comparison whatsoever.
-
Probably not. The 314A had 6 inch front wheels so the spindles will be 1 inch taller. They will fit, but will raise the nose by an inch which will greatly affect how a mower deck rides underneath as well as reduce how high any rear mounted implement will raise. You want spindles from a machine with wide 8 inch wheels. Then the only difference will be what retainer is used to hold the wheel. There were three types: bolt, e-clip, or cotter pin. Functionally no different but just something to consider.
-
I have a set of wheel spindles that came with the 314A I just sold. Are they the same?
-
Yeah somebody whacked something pretty good, or it fell off a set of ramps or similar. If you can't bend the spindle back, they are fairly common from similar year model machines. And adjustable tie rods are always a nice upgrade!

K341 Troubles, Random "sputtering" - Calling engine Pros

Whole other can of worms, but many of us are very much pro "ethanol free" on fuel. Personally, I put the first gallon in a vehicle to ensure no ethanol gets in the gas can. I don't care what anyone says, ethanol is not good for carburetor equipped anything. -
I bought this cylinder (106249) and put new seals in it, thinking I could use it on my C-120 - but the ports are not at the correct angle. The cylinder is originally off of a Wheel Horse C-125 Automatic, should fit many other models. Would consider trades for other misc. parts usable on C-1X0 models. Will need this small set screw. I lost it in the shuffle, Also includes pin and spacer

Is it rusted in place? -
The arm on the steering spindle is likely twisted. That is what happens when the tire runs into something it can't climb. A closed up adjustable wrench on the flat bar can be used to twist it back into alignment. And it does not take much for a large improvement. I have broke the weld doing this.

Yeah, I realized that after the fact that I apparently can't read a tape measure tonight. We do have a 14 horse that if i can get the push rod out of you can still have all of the stuff. Update, the push rod is not wanting to come out of the 14 horse but you can still have the points, condenser, and cover, and gasket, and screws to help narrow down your search. -

I’m seeing closer to 1.250” on your tape measure… about 1/4” short. -

According to my tape measure they measure the length you stated above, you can have them and see if they'll work if you'd like. Don't want anyone having to go home with a dead horse, thats happened to us before and its not very fun. -

I believe the small block is shorter than the big block push rod, i know the points are the same, and i’m only assuming the covers are the same also, but we’ll find out. Thank you. Original Kohler Part Number: 47 411 04-S (often replacing earlier 47 411 01-S or 47 411 01versions) 0.184 " in diameter and 1.550 " in length according to AI search -
Just stick with your K181 The shaft on your linked engine is to small and too short. I know you are trying to learn but stay focused on what you have.
-
You have to remove the 4 bolts and 2 small plates then number 40 will come off To me looks like seal 39 is there the rubber part may be worn away

@BlaineUpdate: The push rod I have is 1 1/2 inches long. If that will work for you you can have all of the stuff in the picture. If the push rod won't work you can still have everything else if you want it. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Bar Nuthin replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Trying to sort out which tractors will pull different responsibilities/tasks, but decided the heavy weights belonged on the C-160. Thing runs sweet after putting the carb back together today! Actually, all three are running excellent! I've pretty much designated the No Name to lawn duty. Guessing the 160 will be my go-to for the MacKissic chipper. Then this winter one of these two will be sporting a 48" snowplow and the other will be on standby with the snowblower. -

@BlaineDo you know how long of a push rod you need? I've got one from a k141 and points and cover and the screws if it would work. I'll upload photos and length in a minute -

As I said previously... the logical thing to do was buy another one, right? A few miles down the road, I found this one. It only made sense to bring it home. It came with a pile of spare parts, some of them I dunno what they are. Plus a packet of several original manuals and papers for it. Plus spare tire chains. It has a few minor issues... for one its out of line, I don't know how to adjust it, there are no adjusters. And it didn't run, but I got it running, I think it has a few dirty grounds. All of it seems to work just fine. The brakes and the clutch are super sloppy and need adjusted. Its covered with dust from being in a corner of a garage, and needs a bath. $300. I need to remove the deck and sharpen the blades and pressure washer it all clean. Then I'll set it loose on a lot full of weeds.

K341 Troubles, Random "sputtering" - Calling engine Pros
Bill D replied to bmsgaffer's topic in Engines
Try running a jumper from the battery positive to the coil positive. If the stumble goes away then you have a bad key switch or safety switch that's causing problems. Also, check and clean your grounds. This is a powered ignition system so dirty electrical connections can cause problems. Just some thoughts. -

I’m starting to worry a bit. Nobody has chimed in with a k301 points push rod plunger and a set of points yet. I may have a correct ignition switch to do the points ignition conversion, and i can rob the points from my k161, but without a push rod, i’ll be going home Thursday with a dead horse. -
