Well I run in to a chore on this front wheel Iwanted to put a new tire on it. So I removed the wheel,removed bearings, cleaned the old grease out.proceded to remove tire I finally had to cut it of the rim there was about a pint of water inside. Boy what a job but I got it cut off, cleaned up the wheel, put new valve in,also new Zerk fitting.Got tire on ,what a job it was but every thing is ok now. A couple more pictures

I made them new tires round Duff

Glad to hear that, Chas! I was afraid you might have to trade 'em to another member here to use on his machine to "complete the look"!

Duff :notworthy:

Here are some more pictures I got the engine put back on yesterday, getting the wireing checked out PO did a little cutting out the switches or bypass I haven't been able to figure out just yet. I am going to give it a test try in a couple of days.Here are some pictures.

Nice work, Chas. Really startin' to shape up. :notworthy:

[WH854 44]

I hooked all the wireing up to see if I could spin the engine over. run a jumper cable from another tractor,hit key to spin over,nothing!!!!!!! so I jumpered all the safety switches spun over that means I have bad switches some where.

Tried starting the engine sqirted gas in the carb, nothing not one pop. I have spark I have one of those spark testers. So I took the head off,guess what I have a stuck exhaust valve, stuck in the open position,so I spin engine over by hand it would open but would not close all the way. So I gave both valves a shot of carb cleaner, then whacked the exhaust valve with a leather hammer I have, it closed I kept working at it for a while, they seem to be opening and closeing ok now. I gave them a good wire brushing, dumped a bunch of oil on them also down in the cylinder. I think this engine has been worked on before,or it came from factory this way. The piston has .010 stamped on it. I have more pictures!!

Well I cain't get the engine to start I have tried all my old tricks.I think I am going to step back and punt. I haven't give up yet, I will be doing other things to the tractor that need to be done that I can do. Hope every one had a nice turkey day.

I bought a new starter switch, and a new starter for the old girl.

will be buying some more new parts as time and money will allow

I may have to put new wires in, some have ben cut at some or other. There is no fuse from the charging system. On my C-105 there is a 20 amp blade fuse on it. Anyone got any suggestions??

Have you got it running yet? How does that carb look? I have had to clean the carbs on all three of my Horse's when I got them( still working on one of them ). It looks like you are doing a very good job, keep up the good work.

P.J.

[WH854 44]

I haven't got it to start yet, I have spark to the plug. Normally I can get them to fire by sqirting some gas into carb, but it will not work on this one. Maybe when I get my new starter installed ( should be here tomorrow) and a new battery it will start. if it don't I will have to do something else.

[WH854 44]

Well I got the old girl to fire up today Bought a new battery,painted the muffler, I think I will need a new fuel pump I am useing a gravity feed setup in the pictures. The throttle Shaft has side play I will have to get that fixed. Complete rebuild probabley.Here are some pictures!!!!

Chas :D

[rickv1957 72]

Tractor is looking great,coming right along!! Rick

[WH854 44]

I had another Carburetor in my collection,so I put a repair kit in it, made a few ajustments,installed it spun it over it fired right up,runs good,idles good, accelerates without stalling out I love it when things start coming together

I will take the old one and see if I can get a new throttle kit put in it and a rebuild job.

Chas

Oh yeah retorqed the head bolts :D

[WH854 44]

I got a fuel pump the other day! I installed it today.

A picture of the pump it is called a replacement fuel pump (plastic body)

Next one is installed

Next one carburator is installed

next one air cleaner installed

Next one new fuel line and new shut off valve.

I put the old drive belt back on to see if it would move itself. It moved forward and backward, then the belt started slipping so I need a new drive belt . The hoist works, so I think the transmission will work ok when i get a new belt.

Thats all Folks

Chas :D

[WH854 44]

:D Does anyone have a picture of the routing of drive belt on an C-165 Auto I would appreciate any help on this!!!!!!!!!!!

Chas. :D

[WH854 44]

Well folks I got my new drive belt today for my C-165!!! I had asked above for pictures of the routeing of belt, no one answered my question! So I will show how I think it should go, here are the pictures.

What do you fellows think?? That black stuff you see is the old belt dust!!!

Chas

[WH854 44]

:omg: Well boys I am so happy with my self I could just

all night. This tractor turned out so good for me I never thought I could do it I just amazed myself!!!. My better half wanted to know what I was wasting my time (on that old 31 year old tractor her words). I have to put the hood back on and a few minor things, but she will do what ever I ask her to do Here are some more pictures.

I may try to get that seat recovered if the guy don't want an arm and leg

Chas :D

[WH854 44]

Well fellows here I am again with another update. I changed the oil again today,put the hood back on, air screen on fly wheel. If this tractor lasts another 30 years I will be 106 years. Here is the latest pictures.

The next batch of pictures will be the rebuilt snow thrower attached to the tractor

Chas :D

[WH854 44]

This most likely be the last pictures of this project I installed the snow blower I worked on in another project. Here are some pictures of it on the C-165 Auto.

This next picture shows the belt routeing for the snow blower :thumbs:It has to be right because I was running the blower. Also checked the lift out(Hydro Lift) it works just fine

I learned a lot during thes two projects. I would like to thank all you Wheel Horse Fans So much it has been a lot of fun
