Hi,

 

I am restoring a wheel horse 857 for my senior capstone project at my high school. I am having a bit of trouble getting reproduction decals for the engine because I do not know the serial number and the spec number. and i think the model number is K-181. The identification plate is long gone so is there any way to identify tose numbers on other parts of the engine?

 

Thanks,

 

Eric

I have a 867. Same tractor different trans. your serial number would start with a C and have 6 numbers follow. model  number on mine is 30108D. Hope this helps. You should be able to buy parts with that model number.

      kohler 582 engine
      By bigbuck
      I had a fire in 2019 which destroyed my pole barns and some wheel horse tractors and parts. i'm looking for someone who can use the engine that went thru the fire. It is not pristine but there must be some usable parts
      please call George at 517-499-5678 for more info.

      Hey all!
       
      Replacing the drive belt on my 252-h. Anyone know the torque specification for the center screw when I put this pto clutch back on? I know it was on there tight it took a minute for the impact to break it loose. Thanks!

      Wheel Horse Electro 12 Automatic
      By Little Red Horse
      Hey all. I have a Electro 12 with a factory belly blade. It runs* and drives. I had used it to grade my driveway the last 6 yrs. Having moved I'm looking at my options on storing it or selling it. Frankly I have no idea what it is worth. I watched "ISaveTractors" video on 5 things to do with a new to you wheel horse/12hp kohler. (When i got it 6yrs ago) And went thru and did the adjustments and replaced the parts mentioned. It has been a good strong tractor for me until around July of this year. (2023)
      *Around July it started dying after running 20-30min. I replaced the carb (Chinese Amazon purchase) with one from isavetractors web site. That seemed to help it idle smoother(the old carbs jets wouldnt adjust), but it still dies at around 20-30min.
      So I've got 2 questions. 
      1. What is it worth? (As-Is) and
      2. What do I need to do to fix it? 
      Thanks yall!
