Evguy 556 #17027 Posted September 18, 2022 Today I went over the 314-8 greasing and lubing. I took it out to adjust the deck, had a few issues with the cut last time, I had it about dialed in and my battery fuse blew, I went through a few more trying to figure it out. It’s intermittent so I am going to fuse the various feed directions to focus the search, I suspect a bare or pinched wire due to randomness of the failure. I guess I am not done with this one yet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heatingman 971 #17029 Posted September 18, 2022 Got to the point of being able to roll, steer, brake and clutch. Brake pedal angle seems off to me, but there is not an adjustment for this. I have another thread for that in the restoration forum. Also started prepping the back fender for paint. A few rust pitts to fill in. Since I wont be ready to paint the final round of tins anyways, tomorrow Im gonna focus on cleaning up my work shop. Its a real disaster right now, painting seems to have that effect. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,015 #17032 Posted September 18, 2022 Was moving my 17' travel trailer around today with Morgan the 14-8. Got into a part of the yard I have not been before with the travel trailer that has some gentile but definite inclines. Plenty of power to pull, but I need some front end weight so I can steer. Brakes weren't up to the job, either. I don't have any problems moving the pontoon on its trailer in the same area - it is about 1/2 the weight, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the few things I firmly believe Wheelhorse should have built differently is the brake. What's installed is adequate for the intended purpose IIFF the belt is working properly. Add to that the thousands of people who move things far heavier than the tractor (yes me too) and the brake is marginal. I do like @Oldskool Mike's idea for individual brakes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,981 #17045 Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) The C-125 I use for mowing duties, as some will know, has a duff exhaust valve. Hopefully a replacement will arrive next week. Meanwhile the grass is still growing. So I thought I'd fit the mowing deck to the C-121 also known as The Black Horse. The deck fitted with no problem as it should. BUT! The front of the deck when down was way off the ground. WHY? Well, I've modified the Black Horse a tad for ploughing and it now sits an inch higher. So what to do? So I think I've come up with a solution. I'll deflate the tyres. Yes! I know. That won't work. In a box under one of the benches, are all the parts off a side discharge deck that had a well twisted shell. Must have been run over by something rather heavy. Beyond redemption. The bar on the front has a plate with a locating notch in it. So me thinks, if that plate was an inch longer?? So tomorrow a bit of surgery will take place. I'll take photo's if I remember. I promise. Edited September 18, 2022 by Stormin 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And does the wiring travel within the conduit? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
