11 pointsMy daughter was going through some pictures and found these from sometime around the late 80s early 90s. My brother who lived a couple blocks away used to do a big 4th of July at his place. I would start the smoking early in the morning then hook the smoker to the B-80, my first Wheel Horse, and pull it down to his house. Sold the B-80 with some others when I went through my first K12 Step program. Wish I has that one back. -Chris from Florida

5 pointsNot a problem Brandon...this is what I was doing on paper...actually typing was easier and all can see. Enjoy...the games a foot. I have about 7 or 8 differences from the "Bobs"...so anybody can still win here. That great minds think alike thingy...that is BS. I have a great mind and they are not even close to me.

4 pointsI've started working on the 633 this just going to be for fun and functionality i'm not worrying about every little dent and ding but i did take the hood down to bare metal. also have a giant hole in the console buy the shiftier i'm thinking about going with exspantion metal to match the hood picked up a can of OD green paint going to paint the hood with it and see if i like it if not i will go back red. Also picked up this sweet old air compressor thinking about painting it up red and white and slapping sum wheel horse stickers on it.

4 pointsI bought this D160 onan tractor for 500, it looked pretty bad, but after washing it it was way better than expected. It had a good Onan 16hp twin, rear PTO and wheel weights. I sold the engine for 350 (I only do single cylinder cast iron engines), the electric PTO clutch for 100, the mufflers for 45, and the front wheel weights for 115, so after gas money I have 40 dollars in the tractor, which is in really nice shape. The Kohler powered single cylinder D160 I bought earlier in the year needs some work on the rear axle bushing that requires splitting the case, so I decided to pull the engine off it and move it to the previously onan powered tractor. I finally got the engine swap finished and fired up the motor, it runs great, thanks Frank (bowtieguy), i am going with cast iron 4 bolt trailer hubs on the front and 4.00-10 tri-ribs and 4 hole steel rims, with 30x10-12 Interco Interforce tires on the wide rear wheel horse rims. I'll eventually fix the donor tractor, but I have evil plans for it, lol

3 pointsWell, I haven’t been here often and for a while now. Life has just been not too kind to us lately. About three years ago my wife was diagnosed with the early onset of Parkinson’s and unfortunately this year it has taken a major leap for the worst. The typical early symptoms have now developed to major disabilities which is not only hard to understand and deal with but extremely heartbreaking to watch. To see a vibrant career and family woman, sharp, witty, and totally independent made a total prisoner of this disease at 57 is a terrible thing. Perhaps what makes it worse for her is the fact that she was so independent and active. She is not dealing well with this but then how could anyone do. It’s a constant struggle to try to help her with ordinary things in life that we all take for granted such as cutting a the food on your plate and even being able to hold a phone in your hand to see a photo of your grandchildren. Not that the helping is a struggle for me, but rather the struggle is to do it in a manner that I can still allow her to keep a sense of dignity and purpose in life, which is in a very fragile state at this point. It’s hard but I have come to the conclusion that it is not our place to ask why, but rather to deal with what is given to us the best we can, and enjoy every single minute of our lives, specially our family and friends while it is possible to do so, and not to worry or waste time with the so many meaningless things we all seem to be preoccupied with in today’s world.

3 pointsThe basic concept is to develop a comprehensive data base on as many Wheel Horse tractors, mowers and attachments as we can. These will include links to photos and manuals along with photos and data from reliable sources. There will be information on changes that took place during a production run and easy ways of identifying various models. We all have a model or implement we are very familiar with, pick out one you know a great deal about and use the existing wiki files as a guide and write one up. If there is an issue that needs clarification or additional information other members can make comments. This will be a great resource for all of us and will only be worthwhile if we have a lot of participation. We have a lot of cold winter days ahead of us so we can all begin "populating our wiki.

3 pointsSome of the "Genuine Kohler " stuff is made where the "No- Genuine " stuff is. I doubt Kohler makes it's own points. They get them from a vendor and $$$$ Talks.

2 pointsI found this interesting. It's an automatic tire chain system. Hopefully, you can view it, it is a Facebook video video

2 pointsThat's SIMPLE......... GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE! We were just about neck and neck all season long. Nothing new going on here. Glad to see you changed your pick on MICHIGAN , FLORIDA to MICHIGAN

2 pointsWe have had those on our fire trucks for years. Also on local school busses and ambulances. An air cylinder pushes the wheel with chains onto the tire...the spinning of the tire slings the short lengths of chain under the tire. They are good for starting you vehicle moving then release the cylinder to get them into road position. They are much good for stopping though.

2 pointsNorm Steinman sold his business. But you can contact and the new owner is suppyling some of the HY 2 spings. They are remade to order but work sjust like original. 953Nut tells me this is the new name and owner's telephone number. JC's Farm and Garden Supply. (219-299-4708) Give John a call. I sell the Oil Seal for the 1/2 shaft that the drive pulley runs on. It goes around the shaft under the pulley. You can email me at laneranger104@gmai.com if you are interested in an oil seal.

2 pointsThe spring for the HY-2 is part #4837 and can be purchased from JC's Farm and Garden Supply (219) 229-4708. The "O" rings should all be standard industrial supply items available at NAPA or any good industrial supply house.

2 pointsMight sound nuts but I use my wood splitter to break the beads on mounted tires.Heavy block of wood on the wedge and the push block close to the rim.If you are careful it works like a charm.Luck,JAinVA

2 pointsThat is a beautiful tractor As far as powder coating, there is a facility here where I live that does all Harley-Davidson's powder coated pieces. A friend of mine works there and did some parts for me. I agree that if it's done right, you should have zero issues. I found that PC is best on things that are multi-surfaced (not flat) because the PC gets EVERYWHERE and bakes on to a smooth finish. I had some motorcycle wheels done in a candy coat and they were outstanding. For tractor parts I found you can get very good results with regular paint. Some guys here even ramp it up to automotive paint and hardeners for some beautiful finishes. This tractor is wet-sanded and buffed Rustoleum (including the engine shrouds). The finish came out great with some work. The only thing I'll say is they tend to be a little more delicate for chipping than auto finishes, but they are very easy to touch up. The wheels on this were initially powder coated, but I wasn't happy with the lack of gloss, so I sanded them off and painted them

1 pointPicked this one up a couple months ago. Love the C-195. Dad has had one since 1985. Always used the 60" deck on it. That deck pictured above is the same as his. Sweet tractors.
-
1 pointHow do all, I'm trying to track down the tractor my dad got me when I was younger. We believed it was an rj 58 from what little info we could find on the net at the time. I sold it around 10-11 years ago from Cumbria, I have recollections of dad meeting the buyer at j36 on the m6. It was on quite a distinctive little twin axle trailer, and had with it a home made roller and dozers blade, a couple of ploughs and a little trailer, and I know it had the Clinton engine. I believe it came up on eBay about 3-5 years ago but by the time I was told about it, it had sold and I never got a reply from the seller at the time. If anyone has this machine or knows where it is, please could you get in touch, I'd love to have the chance to get it back many thanks dan

1 pointI don't think that is going to help here Lane...but here is a link to a HY-2 rebuild from a few years ago that does have the O-ring sizes if you want to read through this. There is a ton of information in this thread. The O-Rings are standard sizes...it is the backer rings that may be tough to find. Like Lane said...he has the input pulley seal. I don't know if Indy is still selling parts or not (he became a vendor in the thread, but that was 6 years ago). http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/12422-702-with-hydro-2/

1 pointSteve, I didn't mean for you to do all that work - I thought you might have a spreadsheet already. Anyways , it does look great and will be nice to reference moving forward!

1 pointRock & Roll hoot - chie - koo, It's getting to be that time again!!! How are things down below, Dino,Jim, any food left??? Alcohol??? Don't tell me you went thru all that Nut cake!!! DINO, dang it!!! I'm only one loss away from joining you!! All in all myself, I am thinking anybody could win this as tight as the games have been and yes Bob + Bob have lost a few also, which actually I think maybe even Dino could pull a rabbit out of the hat! Huh, What?? Nah, let's not even go there!! Things be looking good so far, yes, I am totally bored, can you tell!!! Go Hawkeyes!!!

1 pointWell it seems to be working great, I used it for snow blowing 4" of snow yesterday and it worked well. We are expected another 8-10" on Monday night. This v-twin was a huge up grade from that 12 horse Tecumseh. You can snow blow in 3rd gear high range and the engine doesn't even bog at all. We will have to see how it handles the deep snow. Thanks
-
1 pointWhere can ya find 12" diameter 10" wide vehicle wheels? Ya can order 15x10 wheels rather easily, but then you stuck running automotive tires and not to much there in a 24" diameter.. as far as I know anyways? I ask cause I was considering do with with my dad's tractor, running deep dish reverse 15x8 wheels and then just some aggressive studded winter tires on his plowing unit. But I'm guessing you'd still need chains.

1 pointhttp://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/60945-tie-rod-ends-ball-joints/ Cheaper then mcmaster carr -- prices incude the shipping
-
1 pointI second McMaster-Carr too. Personally I used p/n: 6058K28. Less than $5 a piece. I just cut the original tie rods, then faced, drilled, and tapped and used lengths of 3/8-24 threaded rod to attach the ball joints. Many other ways to do it, that's just what I did. Looking back on it, rod ends would be stronger (much larger load bearing surface) and likely last much longer, but I can still replace mine quickly and cheaply when the time comes.

1 pointI just messed with it for awhile and solved 95% of my problems. The governor was adjusted wrong and it was causing most of the problems but I also increased the idle and adjusted the idle fuel mixture and it seems to be running quite well for now. I think the high speed needle could use adjustment but this is one of those dumb new engines that you cannot adjust anything accept the low speed fuel needle. It just has a set high speed fuel, there is no adjustment at all.
