Finally got around to checking this 1965 wheel horse 655. Serial # 133946. I got this over a year ago in a "Bundle" trailer load of other items. The Tecky H60 had imploded, rod, camshaft, internals like "chicken bones" bearing lobe on block broken off , etc. etc. So I also got most of a K181 basket case S/G engine with parts. Decided this one was too nice to part out or scrap so I checked engine and it looked pretty good with only governor shaft flag and counterweight broken internally. Long story short it spec' ed well and I completely rebuilt. It had the two-piece ASA cam and was a bit of a challenge but all went well. Took the Tecky out and put the Kohler in, new boot and flushed trans, new gear oil and it runs and drives. Definitely needs some "LOVE" but would be a great worker. Everything but seat is there. Mounted Tecky gas tank under hood. New regulator, re-built starter/gen .Will place in classifieds and high probability will be coming to "BIG SHOW" for first time from FL. Anyway enjoy pics. Also have a lot of Tecky parts that I would donate to anyone so inclined.565827206_IMG_10081.JPG.5c7ab69a19fef49fb437bcc5800f01b0.JPG369305676_IMG_10161.JPG.b9d7c6f9c77208c420fb3613efbfef13.JPG

That K181 is most likely the best thing that ever happened to your 655. :handgestures-thumbupright:

      NEED CARB HELP!!! on a 655 Wheel Horse
      By JPeoples
      I have a 655 Wheel Horse with a Tecumseh engine and it had sat for a couple years before I bought it. My buddy said he could clean and rebuild the carb for me. Well when he did it he didn't adjust it right and now I cant get it adjusted right either. I will run fine if I keep spraying gas into the carb but it can't run on its own. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to adjust the carburetor or give me a good reference to figure it out.
