9 pointsThis is not a total restore. Just painted the sheet metal. Turned out pretty good so far. Thanks to Terry for the decals. Lowell for the headlight bezels. New steering wheel center from Glenn. Got new front tires from ebay. Getting some 24-12x12 mounted today for the read. Last picture is what it looked like when I got it

8 pointsI was looking for a 16 hp motor for snowblowing this winter. Went to get the motor and asked him if he had the tractor it came off of. He said he did. He was going to scrap it but would throw it it if I wanted it. Looks to be in pretty good shape. I'd radther have one like this than one painted three times lol. I'm going to use it like this for the winter just get everything mechanically right.

7 pointsI figured since I am going to start to pull I needed a good stone boat. Found a real one locally on CL. I wanted to add metal plate on the bottom and found some free metal shelves. Worked out perfectly,

7 pointsStill thinking Jeff. Only problem is if I adopt you, I'm afraid we would stay in trouble, both of us being just a little on the mischievous side. Emory did help me block out "my" tractor last night. He had to use both hands to keep the paper on the block and did great!

5 pointsNew to this forum but old hand at WH tractors. I own a 520H and a C160 Automatic. Both get used frequently. The 520 is my primary snow remover. It is equipped with a 2 stage front mount snow blower. The C160 Auto is the garden machine with a rear mounted tiller on that one. I worked for an old established Wheel Horse dealer 30+ years ago. Spent a couple years there and became well versed in everything WH built from 1950s to current tractors of 1987. The biggest seller then was the 312-8 speed with a 42" side discharge deck. Those folks usually came back and bought a front plow, chains and wheel weights.

4 pointsI have been bugging Charlie for years to sell me this one. I thank him for passing it along. Been doing some slight modifications and changes but the build and look is just cool. Thought I would share some photos with everyone. May name it the "Twin Killer" ... lol (inside joke)

4 pointsGlenn, If you want snow, put the mower decks on and leave off the chains!
-
3 pointsThat must be the way it works. I didn't set up the cyclone rake and I got leaves. Marvin
-
3 pointsThere is no way to tell without measuring the bore if it is not cast into the block on the drive pulley side. And even then a k301 can be a 10hp. K241 thru k321 all have 9 head bolts.
-
3 pointsGreat find and save. Keep us posted with progress. I've seen a lot of snow blower side extension wings on up side down, but a seat back, now that's a first.

2 pointsGlenn, This is my bad. I actually use these Xtrac on my Raider. I really love them. The ATV tires are really great for gripping. The snowhogs are on my walk behind blower. Getting confused between the two... Anyways here are pictures of the Xtrac mounted if you wanted to see it. They are 4.8-8.

2 points1982 C195 doing some dirt work in the garden with the 3 point brinly disc. And my 1990 520-8 with a 5,000 watt generator!

2 pointsYeah I know last year I had 3 520H 2stage, tall single, and a plow and a 520xi with a tall single, used the plow 1 time, had a front plow set up for the Kioti in WV, dad never used it, now I'm in the middle of converting a super heavy duty fully hydraulic JD blade to the Kioti, maybe it will snow, anyway @JERSEYHAWG / Glenn, I run TRAC GARD 16x7.50-8 turfs on my 520s and 16x6.50-8 the Cubs, they seem to do way better than the original DICOs IMHO, never tried the tri-ribs or used roller chain, good luck ,Jeff. Maybe these Carlisle tires on Amazon...

2 pointsWhat a difference. Looks fantastic! Love the look of the new tires too. what is it about new tread that instantly draws my attention. Does not matter what it is on. Garden Tractor, Vehicle or anything with wheels. Maybe it's just me. LOL
-
2 pointsI have one, I went to this page and it was fairly easy to process a replacement. https://inmarmarketaction.com/kidde/Kidde284US/

2 pointsAs posted in the "What have you done"... thread, I got the VR, Ign switch and volt gauge done. Thank you to those posting here and also @BOB ELLISON for supplying his schematic. As a vendor FYI for you.... I found the best price and fast shipping services from dbelectric.com. for the VR and switch.

2 pointsAlright... So after a bunch of work today I was able to pull the injectors off one by one and get a test on them. They all seem to be working correctly. But when I got to the last one after having to remove the bottom port that screws into the injector pump, I wasn't getting any pressure but the injector looked to be working as it had a shiny spot where fuel would be coming out. So all three were cleaned. I tested the glow plugs, they were fine. I had to bleed the system a couple of times and by that time the battery was shot. So while charging the battery I did a compression test with my cheapo HF compression tester. Which only goes to 300 psi. 1st cylinder seemed slow to build up to about 370psi according to the distance past the 300 mark that the needle traveled. 2nd (middle) cylinder was a very quick high compression of over 400psi according to the same distance theory. 3rd Cylinder also was low at about 275psi. So now wonder why it was so hard to start. But I don't understand why there wasn't much blow by in the breather tube on the valve cover. Also why it idles perfectly once started... Unless my Cheap HF compression tester was giving me crap readings. The manual states that all three cylinder should at least be within 36psi from one another. So it looks like either the person rebuilding the engine didn't know what they were doing or I was lied to about it being rebuilt. I tend to lean towards the later with the leaks coming from what looks to be the rear oil seal... and oil pan. So looks like it will be put away for the winter (or until I get done with other jobs and bored) and tore into next spring. Hoping that it;s just the rings and hone job along with oil seals and new gaskets.

2 pointsI already have one that is 20 x20 , I have so many projects and I am a pack rat . I have to got outside the shed to pass gas.

2 pointsWorking on loader for the 520. I’ve been looking for a long time and have been close on a couple of deals but financially it never worked out. Decided to gradually pull all the pieces together to build my own. My wife got me the P.F. Engineering plans for my birthday and my father-in-law has access to some free steel. I still need to buy some steel but not a lot. My dad had a forty year old Montgomery Ward stick welder that still works really well and I practiced for a few months on scrap and got to the point where my welds look Ok and have decent penetration. The other pieces I’m buying as money allows and I find things on sale. Here are a few early pics of the bucket and the partially complete subframe.

1 pointThat's why we need a herd of Stallions. One for each chore! Plow at the ready, leaves fear the Horse drawn vac. the naked Horse ready for cart or roller duty or parades. One (or two, perhaps a few) in the detail shop where my Grandsons can wo.....wo......work. The work force!
-
1 pointIs this a Wheel Horse engine? If so, I don't think any Wheel Horse K241 had a long dip stick and tube, just a screw-in type. I don't know if you can see the counter-weights on the crankshaft by taking the camshaft cover off, but if so, the K301 has flat bottoms on the counter-weights and the K241 is round.
-
1 pointThey have different sizes. I actually have the 4.8-8 because my Raider 12 originally had the 5.5-8 tires they no longer make. While I agree with Aldon on the Vredsteins they are extremely expensive (2-3x the cost) and that is the one of the reasons I settled on these.

1 pointLast year set up a plow machine, tender on battery, staged read to go! Never used it! LOL I am sure that was the extreme. Going to get ready again, next week.

1 pointSorry for steering you down the wrong path. You are correct. Hopefully a engine expert will chime in...

1 pointour man Jim couldn’t help himself! his tractor did an awesome job as the videos testify...The harder you plan to work the tractor, the more critical this hub to axle connection becomes.
-
1 pointCheck out the web site. You may be able to find a used one in the spring. https://www.originalcab.com/Original-Tractor-Cab-Toro-Hard-Top-Cab.html

1 pointI think this thread needs a pic! I eventually used stainless one from McMaster since this was supposed to be a stainless themed trailer queen. Couldn't help myself and got it real dirty plowing with no hub issues.

1 pointThe dump site where we're allowed to get rid of yard waste is 3/4 mile away - and at times is quite muddy . Hauling out the Agrifab mow-n-vac yesterday to dump the leaves/grass out was interesting - the whole area out there was full of mud . The front/rear ags and rear chains did fine - had to drag another guy's CC mower out pulling a very small trailer of debris , the Horse never spun a wheel . Sarge

1 pointI understand. But I've got to tell you - that's one really nice looking tractor with the ags. I've always thought they give our tractors that big tractor look!

1 pointMine is my first wheelhorse i ever owned C160. And this was the first time I've ever done any disassemble and repair on a tractor. Total down to frame, i opened transmission and replaced the axles and bearings. Totally repaired the whole tractor. Best running tractor I have. It really was a labor of love. 2nd best is my 314-8 I got this one this year. Only has 263 hours now and looks and runs like new. Before and after picture of C160

1 pointWell, Jeff you and Emory do have a lot in common. I don't have a brother, so I might consider it. A pic for proof that you and Emory might be related:

1 pointRegulators need to see battery voltage before they can regulate the charge current. Should never run the engine without the regulator connected to a battery. Check the voltage across the battery posts. Now move the red lead to the regulator DC terminal. You should have the same reading meaning the path the current takes to get to the battery is OK. You may need to turn the key to the run position without the engine running because some models use the ignition switch to connect the regulator output to the battery. Garry
