Yes, the Wisconsin is aftermarket.

If the Wisconsin runs, they have lots of torque.

Post a picture (or link like you did for the tractor) of the engine and any nameplate.

 

Are those rear wheel weights steel or concrete?

 

And the shifter won't go into 1st or 3rd at all, what would I do about that?

Put the shifter in what feels like neutral. Pull the shifter out and look in the hole. The top of the forks should form a square. If the square looks like 2 offset pieces use a large screw driver or pry bar and move the pieces so the form a square. You may have to rock the tractor back and forth a little to help them move. Report back how it works out.

Shift knob restore.:laughing-rolling:


Still Waiting on more odds and ends for my C121 resto.
In the meantime I noticed the shift knobs were wrecked no matter how much I scrubbed wire brush chemicals etc they still wouldn’t get clean.

I’m too cheap to buy new.

Used med grit sandpaper finished with 2500 .

 Now they are almost like new just need decals .


I have too much time on my hands I guess or maybe just need help:confusion-helpsos: :scratchead:

I’ve been absent again but I’m still picking away. My repowered 12 automatic (18hp Briggs and Stratton vanguard v twin) was running like garbage so I cleaned the carb and fixed a ground kill wire leading to the front coil that I saw the mice had chewed. Took it out to do a load of firewood and it sounded off and had no power. Come to find out I had no spark on the back cylinder. I replaced both wires and then had no spark whatsoever. Confused I dug into the repair manual and surfed the internet. Turns out there are diodes in the coil ground kill wires. Reached out to a friend who has a repair shop and he had a junk engine that had the wire on it. Plugged it in and it’s back up and running on both cylinders. I decided it’s going to be my firewood/ back up plow tractor for the winter. Just need to install a plow on it if one of @WheelHorse_Kid‘s tractors or his brothers 856 fail on us but I don’t see that happening. Also got my fiancé’s little guy and my dog who I’m trying to get more comfortable in the garage out there with me.

My shifter nobs were not that bad, and I didn't get them as good as you did, but we had the same idea. Clean them up and use them.
