Rad1 8 #1 Posted November 21, 2014 Hi guys! New guy obviously, but I recently started bringing a WH 735 back to life. Needing a fuel pump, so my question is where do you go and what part numbers etc. I've been searching and not having any luck! Kohler Model No. K161(S), spec no. 28626E If I am in the wrong category please advise! I've always had a "thing" for Wheel Horses, just now being able to act! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger 66 3,476 #2 Posted November 21, 2014 I've always had a "thing" for Wheel Horses, just now being able to act! Welcome to the sickness & the board . I get my parts locally so I can't be of much help there . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rad1 8 #3 Posted November 21, 2014 I'm willing to order online, or via phone if that's possible. And thanks for the Welcome and yes the darn Sickness! I've been just staring at my new family member, drooling to get it going! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,893 #6 Posted November 21, 2014 Take the fuel pump apart and see what's bad. A pulse pump (many K161's had them) has only 5 moving parts. A diaphragm, two one-way valve discs, and two springs. It may just need to be cleaned and have the diaphragm replaced. That's a lot cheaper than buying a new one. However, if you do need a new one, NAPA auto parts along with many other vendors sell replacement pumps for under $50.00. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,893 #9 Posted November 21, 2014 I have been doing eBay since 1998. My best parts finds have been from eBay, but...be careful. Check the seller's reputation return policy and feedback. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rad1 8 #10 Posted November 21, 2014 I think my wife actually might support this addiction, she fell in love with my 735 when I brought it home! lol I haven't even gotten this one running yet, well it will run, it just isn't "running" but I've spotted another one looking to go home! lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Rad1, tell us a little about yourself, even though this isn't the intro thread, we'd like to know. I'm an old phart who started late into the addiction, though have had other tractors, but have a wife that puts up with me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rad1 8 #14 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Ok, no problem. 50, live in the country, what we call the Sticks. Have 8 acres, a younger wife and we have a 2 year old daughter, hence my parade comments. I used my cub cadet to pull my daughter in the 4th of July parade last year and I thought it would be cool to have an old tractor to do the parade with next year, a few weeks later this 735 wheel horse came up for sale on an online yard sale and I couldn't help but jump. Worked a 12 hour shift and went straight after work to pick it up. Can't explain it but even as a teenager I always thought Wheel Horses were so cool! They have always stood out to me. When I had a neighbor that bought a brand new one and I found out the price I was like Ouch so I never did anything about it. I'm trying to scrap the money together to get a WH 10?? It's a 1954 model. The 1965 735 model I have well I took it to my buddies garage to make it a winter project and 3 of it just pounced on it. New battery first thing, then had to track down a wire that was unplugged, that had been spliced and taped over. Fixed that then cleaned a contact on the voltage regulator then we had spark! We got it to turn over and then sprayed a little gas in the carb and it runs, so we tracked down the no fuel problem up to the fuel pump (false as Maynard labeled it and it makes sense). So that's where I am at. Like to hunt, just not as much as I used to, banjo picker and now Wheel Horse enthusiast. Thanks for asking M_Bailey and thanks for your service! Actually I am a CT/MRI Tech at a VA hospital Edited November 21, 2014 by Rad1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

octfst 378 #24 Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Sure you don't mean 753? that would have the K161 you refer to. They only made one model after that. that they used that engine on. the 753 stands for 7(7hp Kohler) 5 (electric start) 3 (1963)1964 was the last year Wheel Horse used the K161 and it was left over engine's from 1963. they only used the K161 1961-1964. OH by the way Welcome to Red Square. Edited November 22, 2014 by octfst 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rad1 8 #25 Posted November 22, 2014 Geesh my friend you are so correct, it is in fact a 1963 (I think) 753! Posted at the end of a long week and 10 hour shift! Hard to believe such a mistake On my part after I've stared at it so much:) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
