4 pointsAdjusted the governor arm on the shaft so the governor is functioning now. Ran to Ace Hardware for a 1/2”x39” belt and a longer 7/16” x 3” grade 5 bolt that was needed to mount the 6908 drive pulley on the gear drive deck. I also grabbed a heavy spring that had similar specs as the 5185 spring in the RL-366 mower parts diagram. However the spring had an extra length hook on one end, which I figured was a bonus as i could shorten it to the length needed. Thanks to @Horseoholic for dimensions, i made a 5385 link from bar stock that goes between the spring and the idler. In the RL-367 destructions manual it says to attach the spring to the 7th hole in the frame. On this Raider, the 7th hole is the front hole of the tower, looking at picture in the RL-367 manual, the hole that the spring is anchored to is not there on my Raider. I made a tab 1-1/2” long with a hole to attach the entire length of the Ace spring to MY 7th hole. Since the Raider has footboards, the link and spring are hidden behind it. I had to trim the front footboard bolt 1/4” because it interfered with the link where it comes through on the back side, but it all works well. The belt keeper on the idler doubles as a boot guard. The shimmed drive pulley spins true and freely. If i’m thinking correctly, i may try moving the throttle spring down one hole at the governor so the governor allows a little more throttle up the hill. Seemed to be dropping a bit too much rpm before the governor takes over. I picked the deck up at the Big Show. I only pulled the gear covers off to have a peak, but i didn’t disassemble anything. Some axial play in the cross shaft, but i’ve run much worse. The right blade shaft woodruff needs replacing, not sheared but i can tell it’s worn pretty bad from the slop. Both blade shafts have some radial play, hoping the shafts aren’t worn too bad. Just need to finish out the season and i’ll replace all of the bearings before next year. Loaded it up with grease. It mowed, but it looked really skippy. I shut it down and checked. Sure enough, the right blade was on the left and the left was on the right. This is the second gear drive deck i bought like that. It cuts perfectly now with the blades on their correct sides. Need to order a rectifier yet and some trans seals. Brakes barely work at all on these old 3/6spds… especially backwards, on a hill, when the brake drum and band are saturated with gear lube. IMG_2076.mov

3 pointsThis is me on the 312-8 and my great niece (she was throwing candy from the cart) during our local Alumni Day/250th Parade, it was awesome! I was here for our bicentennial back in 1976, and now this Semi quincentennial in 2026, but I probably won't be around for the Tricentennial, but maybe my tractors will still be going! Hopefully this picture will come okay! C-85

1 pointThank you all for your kind words, care and thoughtfulness. It means so much. This truly is a community where each one cares for one another. The picture was on Rita's 72nd birthday last year at a birthday party for my daughter's mother in law's birthday party for which they shared the same birthday, and they honored Rita as well. Warmest regards, Dan

1 pointTrina and I have quite the collection here as you know. Also, several other machines. Quite a few implements. As we were showing @Natejc_98 around, you could tell he knew he was... "in trouble." He even mentioned that going to @JCM Jim's Place in the fall was probably going to add to this.

1 pointAll new rigs that come here need something, so they all get a turn in the garage for fluids/grease and all that. Well my new C-81 from the Wheel Horse Show had a pretty good oil leak that I didn’t notice at first. Showed up after a 20 minute drive. Turned out the fuel pump gasket was on UPSIDE DOWN! Had a new gasket here in stock and it was an easy fix. I don’t have a gasket for the carb to engine block as that one isn’t correct, but it does seem to seal. Any reason I need to do the carb gasket???

1 pointSame here but some do and some don't. More so with small blocks. Always suspected it has something to do with variable timing issues. Points variation, cam lash or something like that but could be dead nuts wrong too. Never bad enough to really worry about so I just run er.

1 pointSounds like you're looking in the right places. My old Kohlers splutter just a tiny bit every few seconds unless under load and I've never got them adjusted properly whatever it is.

1 pointSo I offered to get this franken driving for Brett Esse of Portage Show proprietor fortune and fame. He offered to pay me for the work, which I refused, and I had to explain to him the difference between a hobby and a job. Actually is a cute little tractor and runs fairly decent. Started out life as a 656 with a K181 repo. Floor boards added but nicely done. Problem is the tranny is locked up solid and all the diesel and kerosene in the world is not going to help. @Achto sold him an off the shelf spare tranny to put in it to get it driving and ready to be sold at the show. Pics of the adventure. What flush fluid looks like after a month of setting. I probably should have drained the water out first. Rite of passage my @$$. Puller best xmass present ever @Achto

1 pointHello specialists!! I have already seen on the forum but I do not find, that there are C161s with external brakes that would be better than the internal brake because of metal powder in the hydraulic system: Can anyone tell me this and in this case why the oil filter does not protect the system? -These 161 with external brakes are equipped with Sunstrand or Eaton? - Are they rare? Do they have the K341 or an Onan? Thank you for your answer cordially Gilou External brakes avoid the metal shavings issue The filter is on the return line to the trans axle. The suction line can pick up trash it goes through the pump and motor causes damage then goes to filter on the way back C161 would originally have had K341 and Sunstrand Les freins externes évitent le problème des copeaux métalliques Le filtre est sur la ligne de retour à l'essieu trans. La ligne d'aspiration peut ramasser les déchets qu'elle traverse la pompe et le moteur cause des dommages puis va filtrer sur le chemin du retour C161 aurait initialement eu K341 et Sunstrand

1 pointYou'll probably need to wait a bit to hear back from him. Also he probably isn't making them right now, he told me last year he is pretty busy during the summer, so he typically doesn't make them until the fall.

1 pointI also used the marine primer bulbs for many years and they are effective in repriming the fuel pump. The fuel drain down problem is a result of both of the fuel pump check valves failing to seal properly. This can only get worse and the pump will eventually fail to supply a good fuel supply to the carb. With the price of a good primer bulb and a good e- pump comparable in price, When my primer bulbs start to harden and crack, I now replace them with an e-pump.

1 pointThanks Dave! Of the four Wheel Horses that I currently have, this one is by far the best of the bunch. My biggest concern when I brought it home was the vertical exhaust, I figured there was a pretty good chance that the top end might be rusted badly. Fortunately that turned out to not be the case. The engine runs like a top Thanks again! Brad
