Achto : I pulled the drain plug and the oil came out Clean. So that being said and no leaks I think I am good to go with a refill.

WHX7 : I hear ya on the roll pin ! Going to take it slow. Hate to tear up the steering wheel as it is in pretty good shape. Has a slight bend but not all beaten up.

I will post more pics when I get back on it. Working two jobs sucks ! But need the funds to keep going at it !! LOL!!

Wedge on older trannys I use Lucas trans leak stop. 40% mix. Most times I do not have to change out seals at least the 2 hub seals. They are hard to get most of the time. It shifts real smooth.

I am looking at a belt guard for this 400. Can anyone post a pic of one please.

I found one that a guy says is off a 61 but not sure as I never got one with the tractor.

Still sitting as I am not sure on what way to go with the rebuld. Depends if I can find the original Style engine !

Thanks guys up front ;)

Saw one on flea bay for $50. 60 &61 should be the same I believe.

They are the same for all practical purposes. It's said that this one is for a 61 with the crossed hump thingy where the 60 only has one vertical hump thingy. :)

Pretty sure, Joe Papke just had a production run of the correct '60 guards made up. 

Should be available as we speak.  :handgestures-thumbsup:

Well had to start on a head gasket job and Kart wheel repair yesterday so I had alittle time to pick at my 400.

I removed the seat cover and this is what I saw. WOW !!! I am think along with most of you guys on this. I may just clean and repair the cracks in the hood and put a stock like engine on her and roll it out as is !?!?

Also thought of that with Fresh Shinny wheels for that contrast Pop !

As always I am open to your all's input .

What do you all think of this engine for the 400 ? I plan on toneing the look down some so it looks like it belongs on it ?

WHX??

That might work but a test fit would be in order. Can you lose the fuel tank and plumb in the original? Might have to do something with the exhaust as well or the leg is gonna get hot! How did you make out on getting the steering wheel off?

Well it is with a Heavy Hart that I must post this 400 for Sale ! I had a bad run with an illness and work so funds dictate I must sell off some projects.

It is back together and Not reworked in any way. Just reassembled it to move in the shop.

I will let the New engine I got for it go with. I thought I would post it here First so someone will respect it for what it is !

I am asking $500. for it but am open to offers (close) if need be.

The other Commando 6 is for sale also so check out my posts.

After I get over this hump I will be back in the swing of things ! Thank you ALL here for your help and support in my hobby.

You can Tex or Call me At (717)-5214205

Or PM me here.

Thank you

Tj

WHX??

Suggestion Wedge....can you sell it to a nearby member who  would be kind enough to "hold" it for you when times/medical things improve?

      The RJ58 was the big hit for spectators this year at my local festivals here in Carroll County OH. 
      the children loved getting their pictures sitting on it, then they discovered the bicycle horn under the steering wheel. It’s always a joy even in parades. Just love showing off part of my collection every year and hearing all the stories from those that had WH in their lives at one time. Can hardly wait to get to retirement so I can get some of my other models back to their glory in working order and be able to attend other shows/festivals throughout the year. My fellow tractor enthusiasts always know when a spectacular starts asking about WH, they point in my direction. I study up on the history of the different models and always intrigue those that didn’t know much about how WH came to be. This website is one place that has helped me learn so much about the WH history and I thank you for sharing your knowledge that I am able to pass on to keep WH alive and well.

      Husband wants some advice… lol.  So we did an engine swap today on two suburbans because we could not get the one engine to spark all the time to get it running!  The engine ran last year before parking for the winter sleep…. Points were changed out for new the engine was cleaned to make good contact has new spark plug new coil condenser we even switched out the fly wheel today thinking maybe the magnet was weak…. Advice???   It would where are you out yanking on the recoil five or so times and maybe only get the points to fire twice if you’re lucky..  checked the gap and pull again… same thing over and over!  Thanks in advance!
