JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,497 #1 Posted November 3, 2014 Ok guys. Me and the brother just picked it up. The 50 dollar wheel horse. The owner let me have it for 40 dollars. 10 bucks off. At least it was saved from the scrap heap. AND only about 3 miles from my home. Glenn 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,497 #2 Posted November 3, 2014 Went to check the oil. What you see pouring out is a gas oil combination of ****. But...75 percent gas. Gee I wonder why the engine won't pull through....must be broke. Lol Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMCIII 838 #3 Posted November 3, 2014 I thought that the gas went in that hole, and the oil went in the big container at the top of the mower. Don't engines burn more oil than gas? Rob 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,497 #9 Posted November 3, 2014 Ok...to start I thought at least pull that motor off to throw it away. Does this pulley set up look right? In other words should I save them or toss them? A real ham n egg set up. Just don't want to throw real wheel horse stuff away. Ty. Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishin4a416 2,190 #10 Posted November 3, 2014 You have a very nice project tractor there Glenn. I envy you. Cant never find those kinda deals around here. Cant help you with the pulley question. Good Luck!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-101plowerpower 1,605 #11 Posted November 3, 2014 looking at the stuff that is coming out of the oil hole, looks a lot like the oil a mate of mine had in his home made atv, it had a carb that didn't stop overflowing, might want to check that and get it running for now so you can test the trans and deck Koen 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,254 #12 Posted November 3, 2014 Good looking tractor! Definitely worth trying to save in my opinion. It does look lost in that massive trailer tho . Mike.......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bushing just lets you use the 1 inch pulley work with the 3/4 shaft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A carburetor kit could be all it needs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #24 Posted November 4, 2014 Whoever put that HF "Greyhound" on this tractor saved it from the scrap heap years ago. I'm sure it would have been long gone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
