    Trying to sort out which tractors will pull different responsibilities/tasks, but decided the heavy weights belonged on the C-160. Thing runs sweet after putting the carb back together today! Actually, all three are running excellent! I've pretty much designated the No Name to lawn duty. Guessing the 160 will be my go-to for the MacKissic chipper. Then this winter one of these two will be sporting a 48" snowplow and the other will be on standby with the snowblower.

    Whole other can of worms, but many of us are very much pro "ethanol free" on fuel. Personally, I put the first gallon in a vehicle to ensure no ethanol gets in the gas can. I don't care what anyone says, ethanol is not good for carburetor equipped anything.

    Try running a jumper from the battery positive to the coil positive. If the stumble goes away then you have a bad key switch or safety switch that's causing problems. Also, check and clean your grounds. This is a powered ignition system so dirty electrical connections can cause problems. Just some thoughts.

    I got some cool sunset photos of my tractor and our 1983 Winnebago Brave powered by a Chevy 454

    I tell my significant other that everyone I drag home is one to flip . Ive sold one WH in the last 18yr and that was at the Big Show last year. I brought 3 back with me from same show though.

    As I said previously... the logical thing to do was buy another one, right? A few miles down the road, I found this one. It only made sense to bring it home. It came with a pile of spare parts, some of them I dunno what they are. Plus a packet of several original manuals and papers for it. Plus spare tire chains. It has a few minor issues... for one its out of line, I don't know how to adjust it, there are no adjusters. And it didn't run, but I got it running, I think it has a few dirty grounds. All of it seems to work just fine. The brakes and the clutch are super sloppy and need adjusted. Its covered with dust from being in a corner of a garage, and needs a bath. $300. I need to remove the deck and sharpen the blades and pressure washer it all clean. Then I'll set it loose on a lot full of weeds.

    Agreed. Plus the K181 has ball bearings at both ends of the crank. No comparison whatsoever.

    Probably not. The 314A had 6 inch front wheels so the spindles will be 1 inch taller. They will fit, but will raise the nose by an inch which will greatly affect how a mower deck rides underneath as well as reduce how high any rear mounted implement will raise. You want spindles from a machine with wide 8 inch wheels. Then the only difference will be what retainer is used to hold the wheel. There were three types: bolt, e-clip, or cotter pin. Functionally no different but just something to consider.

    Yeah somebody whacked something pretty good, or it fell off a set of ramps or similar. If you can't bend the spindle back, they are fairly common from similar year model machines. And adjustable tie rods are always a nice upgrade!

    Just stick with your K181 The shaft on your linked engine is to small and too short. I know you are trying to learn but stay focused on what you have.

    Last year I purchased a 58RJ from Mike @ML3 who had gotten it from Kevin @Pullstart who got it at the big Show 2 years ago. This was it then . I will be bringing it to my first Big Show this week and it has been reborn. This is now.

    That tractor looks awful familiar. '74 A-90 I believe.

    Weekend started on Friday with a funeral about two hours away. Then 8 hours to my son & daughter’s camp. On Saturday, brought the camp’s WH out of winter hibernation and then did lodge repairs. More repairs on Sunday (after I hosted a nice breakfast for daughter, SIL, and my sister). My SIL got all the seat time mowing! Then 5+ hours home. About 775 miles over three days--a lot for me. Beautiful weather and having an interesting audiobook helped relieve the tedium of the drive. Only 225 miles (~4.5 hours) to Biglerville on Wednesday!

    Decided to shoot the final coat before the kids got up. Three gnats in the left side in almost a straight line- but I think there's enough paint to let the buffer fix it in a day or two. Either way I'm done painting this bleeping hood.
