Anybody else collect or have a Wheel Horse pedal tractor? Picked this one up this morning.

Here's a few that have been seen at the WHCC show from year to year. Check with @Darrenw85 I know at least two of these are his.

There wer a few at the Big Show this year. Also, @turnnleft built one for his grandson.

You're scarin me with that concrete block.

Top notch stuff... wheelhorsepartsandmore.com

That's what's so great about the forum and it's members. Got a problem or a question, just ask. You get a lot of ideas and advise, which saves you time, trouble, and trial and error. Even searching for parts and what not. 100% the best forum ever.

Everyone loves a perfect, unmolested machine. Unfortunately at this point in history, they are getting more rare than ever. So I have my own personal code: First, it belongs to you. Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with it. (As much as converting tractors to off-road rock crawlers and buggies makes me cringe, the rule still stands). Second, it's far better to modify a tractor and keep it alive than to put it away and never enjoy it. Museum pieces belong in a museum.

I actually messed up when I started the 2nd tire and just continued the pattern. which is why the tires are the way they are. both patterns seem to work equally well. I haven't had either tire lose traction or clog up more than the other.

I got the blower back together mainly expect for the shoot direction handle. And I had a pumpkin that need to be disposed of. When the shoot popped out of position I accidently launched a few pieces over the fence decent sized ones too lol Also spaced the seat pan up an inch to clear the new hydraulic lift line fitting she beef. Needed something quick snow is scheduled for next week and this is my only free time. 20221217_160642.mp4

@jeff lary, If you go to the Kohler website and search using horizontal shaft, single cylinder, Command Pro series and 0-16HP and choose the CH15 and there is a service manual is for CH11-16.

https://sherpusadealer.com/sherp-pro-xt/ been trying to find related info on this unit , finally , got the details . would be playing all the time . swampy , pete

They were available from the dealers ( direct from Toro ) , I still have the original order forms, and one assembled tractor and 2 brand new still in the box. No they aren't for sale. Picture is my son on his about 20 years ago.

I have the C-195 and the later one based on the 300 series. I could not find the later one and ended up buying a new spirit of oliver pedal tractor and had it painted red and had decals made to match my 50th anniversary 314. I'll try to take a couple pictures tomorrow depending on the weather. I do have a picture of the pedal and 314 side by side I'll have to look for. Here is a picture of the C195 and the show in 2016. Funny story about the 195, I bought that on ebay and had it shipped. The seller shipped it on a grey hound bus. My inlaws picked it up at a bus stop not too far from their house.

Hi, my first post. I just got a 314-8 from my friend/neighbor who bought a new JD diesel so he gave me his WH. I'm new to these guys but I love it already! I put the 48" blade on it and it kept dropping down when I had it in the up position so I pulled it apart and found the chassis plate had broken at the lift arm bearing support. I machined a bushing and welded it in place. I have some other issues to resolve but right now I can plow this winter, I'll wait for next summer when it's warmer before I dig into anything else.

The fan gear on the GT-14, 953/1054 operates the opposite way that the fan gear on other do. Nothing is imposable but you would have a job on your hands.

Crash test dumm…… I mean crash test buddy

@19richie66 I would let @Pullstart try the 33-mph speed. Flip flop kid is younger, and bones are not a brittle, plus he has hit his head so many times he would not ask for a seat belt or insurance.

Just finished replacing the seal on the brake shaft of Clyde, my 312-8, and the brake lining. Your suggestions and post made a simple job simpler.

Also in Manual section here

Still snowing right along this morning. Official back deck gas grill top measurement is 10". Will be ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ for several more hours. Excellent classic Nor'eastuh storm! Here's a video of the dooryahd... A few pics. Zoom in from above. Note the downward curving poplar tree. These next two were taken one right after the other but the zoom changed the color tone for some reason. Here's another (poplar?) Leaning towards the side deck. 3 sequence pics. 9:45 yesterday morning. Yesterday 3:06 PM. This morning 7:30 or so.

I found one on Speedway Motors for around $100. Made in USA too!

I just have to say that the Evapo-Rust performed excellent for removing the rust. Look at the before and after with no elbow grease what-so-ever.

Those smaller snap rings did stretch a bit to get them over the splines and they can be rotated in the groove but they don't have the 1/16' up and down movement. It the best that I can do. They are getting maximum contact with the splines.

Can you say "Kevlar"

👍👍👍👍👍

Oh, no - Kevin and a hot knife. What could possibly go wrong.....

Mom bought an Argo several years ago. A niece of mine was wheel chair bound but loved to fish. She could get into the Argo on dry land, then my brother could drive into the pond so she could fish. Unless you had a trolling motor attached, this thing was like a floating bathtub and each breeze would blow you at will. The 6 tires spinning barely made it maneuverable. That was about the only thing it was used for but served it's purpose. The Argo would beat you up riding on rough ground. I would get a kick out of watching the grandbabies bouncing along. Nevertheless, they never turned down a ride. With the six axles below water level, there was quite a bit of upkeep to it also. We sold it three or four years ago. A fellow whose farm land was separated by a COE lake wanted to cross an arm of the lake without having to go around the arm on county roads. I suggested he use a trolling motor. It was fun while it lasted.

Redirect some of that P220s rear cylinder heat into your cab and you can blow snow in a Tee Shirt. BTW, congrats on the smokin deal.

I'll say the same thing here as FB Tom... ain't you a little tractor heavy?!?!

In the shop... Most to likely crappy... You kidding both 520s gassed up & ready to go. A REAL 502 ... ahem Kev... with a new plow scraper. A well stocked shop fridge. What the heck Dan ther is bloody mary stuff in ther why did we not??? Five projects in and plenty of wood for the shop so snow me in. OK EB now I gotta post my annual in case all the tractors quit backup... best i get her a backup shovel...

Well Ed. My apologies on being the bearer of bad news but we failed to get even a mere second of video. I have pics. Best I can do. Hope these suffice. 🤠 Here's the machine beasts of the day. Trina's 867 Pigpen. Our Ariens commercial 24-in walk behind snowblower. The dooryahd in it's post snow removal state. Still a bit more to do tomorrow.

Nice - no seal leaks!!! Use the kitchen cutting board for a plow???

I Had made a little console on the right side of the hood stand that supported the chute rotator crank and switches for all the cab lights. I just attached the chute deflector cable/lever to that same console so all controls were together.

Got the tranny back together! WHAT SHOULD THE BOLTS BE TORQUED TO? I know that I have seen or heard that number some where; just cant remember. I should have writter it down. And got the seals in except for the input shaft seal. Can anyone recommend a common pipe, cylinder, or something to set it?

I ordered the bracket from Wheel Horse parts and more yesterday. Thank you for all the help.

If you set it up this way, 1st gear will be a normal Wheel Horse hydro drive working range, 2nd gear will give you a road gear, and 3rd gear will give you an autobhan gear.

Jay Leno drove on on his "Jay Leno's Garage" show.

well, back in the spring due to the leaves/wet grass/mud, etc. I found the turf tires would get clogged too easily. so I borrowed a tire groover and went to work. to do both tires took a couple hours and having run it all summer and now into snow season it was well worth the time to do. so far, even in snow, the traction is just as good as chains. haven't had any real ice to test yet. and yes, that is a ber-vac weight bracket on the back.

Hmmmm. A 27" tire gives 84" travel per wheel revolution. Using 1 inch/minute x .0009 to convert to mph. Unless I botched the math, this gives the following speeds at full hydro speed: 1st gear - 6.5mph 2nd gear - 12mph 3rd gear - 20mph Might want to consider makeing the driven sprocket bigger, maybe 25 or 30 tooth.

Where does one buy a tire groover? Seems like a great idea.

Curious - @NA73 did you do the two patterns as a test or...? I'm guessing you will get a different grip... look forward to hearing your impressions on which works better...

Actually, if you take out the engine and tear it down and you have a machine shop, you can tear it down and have them do the machining and then put it back together yourself. I did that on a couple of K181's...saved some bucks and learned a lot.

I would have to have a step ladder to get in it and would be stuck inside until someone got me a ladder to get out.

Better hold onto your wallet.

@ri702bill should I paint it or slather it in LUCAS RED GREASE ? sure to get some reply's on that , pete

@elcamino/wheelhorse imagine pulling up with this to a car show ? think it would fit in a west coast setting , the RINO CAR SHOW is fantastic , have your happy face on , smiley pete

It was red gear oil that leaked out. I packed it with red wheel bearing grease. Thanks I got a smoking deal on this bad boy 1200.00 for everything you see hear plus a mower deck, tiller, blade, disk, a bunch of other stuff, and around 1000.00 dollars worth of miscellaneous spare parts. I can blow snow in a hoodie and stay warm.

I think this was my first trial and it didn't work. The snow forcing the deflector to open bent the wire. I changed it around so the deflector was pulling on the wire instead.
