Saw this at a show. Owner called it a battery quick disconnect

Though we do love our Wheel Horses most of us love seeing any rusty old relic brought back to life. Please share your journey with us. This YouTuber may be your best resource but we would be glad to add our as you go along. A Koehler engine is a Koehler engine no matter it is on, steering is steering, transmissions are transmissions, hydraulics are hydraulics, and we can learn from one another right along with you.

Today I got the group out took the deck off the 308 and pressure washed and armor alled them in preparation for the get together. the 308 was having an issue so I ended up pushing it back to it's spot. It's probably gas I need to get gas before I go.

I didn't see this when I replied earlier about the 2 piece manifold . Mine was easy to diagnose because when I removed manifold then took carb off to rebuild the manifold came apart in my hands.

I asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas. She told me, "Nothing would make her happier than a diamond necklace." So, I'm going to get her nothing.

Did the same with my 48. I love how much better it distributes clippings. I've been using it for a few months now and I really like it.

Happy Birthday @Buckeyes, we are glad you were born.

$4.79 two miles down the road from me, it's an Indian owned station. And that's the only grade of gas they sell.

Your carburetor has a weich plug just above the idle mixture screw, if you remove it you may find dirt in the tiny passages in there. To remove the plug, drill a small hole in the center being careful to not go in beyond the plug, then pry it out. Use an aluminum 3/8" plug to reseal.

Yea the correct spring that goes from the linkage to the trans will be here tonight so after I swap them as long as the rain calms down ill test it and report back.

If a cow laughed really hard.... would milk come out of her nose? Why did the cow jump over the moon? The farmer had cold hands.

@Ed Kennell, get your finger out of there, you are making me nervous!

Here is the one I had a few years ago:

The 100 and the 70, in my opinion, were the best looking Cub Cadets. And they were a big improvement over the Cub Cadet Original, as they weren't so low and eliminated the small belt in the driveline.

On my 520H it was the 2 piece intake manifold. It was leaking where it goes together causing it to suck air and would surge. You have to take manifold off to fix right, not too bad of a job but isn't to fun either. May as well decarb, adjust valves, etc etc. why you have it tore apart that far also.

I upgraded the wheels and tires, 30 x 10 -12 Interforce AGs on the rear and 4.00-12 tri-ribs on steel wheels and 4 bolt cast iron hubs on the front

Got the hood painted up today for the C120. Now that my Simplicity mower has brakes I can take the C120 out of service and pull the rest of the sheet metal. Hopefully all the tin will be painted before temps drop.

We changed the brake pads and rotors on my nephew's truck and my van last weekend. What to do with those old rotors? Well, since they fit perfectly on a 12" rim we made some inside/outside wheel weights out of them. Outside Inside

I know I’m not the only one around here that finds it kind of amazing how perfectly good re-purposable stuff goes off to the scrapyard for pennies a pound or simply thrown in the trash. I made a great back yard fire pot by bolting together a pair of brake drums that came off a semi my friendly local alignment shop gave me for next to nothing. I topped it off with a recycled grill and now it is one. It’s pretty impressive for a piece of junk if I do say so myself. It’s hurricane proof in any case! Lolz

The tie down is what makes it...!!! twice, cut once... Lucky 13!!!

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉

Happy Birthday

Have a Great Day

The grass and weeds those things are supposedly cutting would be like a Wheel Horse conquering the Okefenokee Swamp, but they are cute.

Thanks fer link if I didn't already have a new one already I would have went with one like in link above.

HAPPPPY BIRTHDAY

Ok so I have the same belt you have, so I know the belt size is okay. I also found a spring that goes from the actual clutch pedal and attaches behind the dashboard. I assume that was someone's backyard fix to the blown out strut on the clutch. I have a new correct spring clutch coming in from Wheelhorse parts and more today, so ill install that and remove this other spring that is circled in the attached photo.

What new crop did the farmer plant? Beets me!

You cleaned the carb 5 times to stop the surging and it ran smooth. I suspect a speck of dirt found its way to the carb again. Replace all old fuel lines and clean the carb again.

TSC 5/8 X 82 Aramid blue belt works great on my 310-8. Mine does have the clutch damper cylinder on the idler pulley, but I'm not sure the damper does anything as I can feel and feather the clutch with my foot.

Five or six is enough

I'm pretty sure it's the Terramite. Yep, I bought it. Thanks

I had a Cub 100 way back in 89

I replace mine with these. Still the same 9 pin but better sealed. Never had an issue with these. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/130984528895?_skw=9+Way+Sealed+Splash+Proof+Mate+N+Lok+Electrical+Wiring+Multi+Connector&itmmeta=01M1E8XPVRR30FBC63P7NN1AWN&hash=item1e7f494bff:g:obkAAOSwHUhZ9zsO&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAABAGfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xBFckF4xCQsfHMXWf6Z0COGyJzdUsd9P2EgTVb4pqLNd9xOFTCbfCCDrovq2iDeaCAgnxf0xqWJmqPZAjN6w0%2B4IfIx3eveikffGpL%2BUiPjKGjfWXFmNHFvxLod3q1N2xbSXXJc4jR49KUe5RCL0GTgXbpHSvSyLklhTR5i1%2FumFY2ICnozFIMqGea3HHD5rx7QFzyCbcm8aD7U1oFPo9onA%2BINFGW55WLvujQDsMKLtiLxZxKRJtI2VyysLaMObBAYiVsvcspIhDeBHnjv1%2F%2BsDNfoSrFQ%2B5%2FCKeiuZwwSwBfmMmrF6y7sbdnnMcGx2Sk%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4Lu9siLaA

That is not bad price in today’s market.

Not at all. As I said, they operated with just the spring for decades with no problems.

Started making a temporary lift are for my plow

Got the modified bracket mounted with mostly new bolts. New high powered alternator in. The belt even fits after the changeover! Next is to make and install the new alternator wiring harness.

Just got back from the local Maverick gas station. Bought 4 gallons of ethanol free for $5.79 a gallon.

my track record can’t afford that many new hoods

@Retired Wrencher glad you are trying something ? my stand by generator , sits for months , with instant starts , my reference to fuel line replace ment , was after I cleaned out entire set up , verifying a fresh clean start, your star tron / my sta bil , do the same thing, most important proof ? zero / no debris / fuel hose break down at all . when I go at any problem , go after EVERY STAGE , NOT JUST THE MOST OBVIOUS , EX ? frayed belts , WHY? its not the belt , its , INCREMENTAL BEARING LUBRICATION FAILURE , the bearing hangs up / stops for a second , that led me to , cleaning out and regreasing , every wide seal bearing , with https://www.landmsupply.com/lucas-oil-x-tra-heavy-duty-grease-14-5-oz?g, all my decks , pto / mule drive , engage / spin up with total ease. , BTH that pto lever set up is a gold mine , for improvement , pete

Here is how the chute was trimmed. I can say that it discharged cuttings well running on a c-160 but I never tested it on anything like @sgtsampay

I haven't ever broken one. What Kind of lock nuts did you use?? If it loosens up the slop will lead to breakage. I am now using these
