mhlmeader 689 #1177 Posted September 24, 2018 This evening i drained and changed the transaxle fluid, added a little stop leak hoping to stop a drippy axle seal. Ive changed axle seals in jd 110s, but never a wheelhorse. We'll see how it goes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use a long sharp flat screwdriver to break into the seal and lever it out. Seals can be done from outside. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 26,440 #1185 Posted September 26, 2018 Spent a little time on my new to me C-145. It needed a new ignition switch, I replaced that, the starter solenoid & plugged i a few loose wires. Now it will start with the key and it charges. I have a few more "shoe man" repairs to remove from this machine yet. The one below is one of my favorite repairs done by the PO. My plans are to get this tractor usable until I can get around to tearing it down & going through it head to toe. 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mean to say the cobbler who owned this fine didn't know enough to position the screw on the gator clip toward the other side? Outrageous! 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,630 #1192 Posted September 28, 2018 Scored this set of meats for a ridiculous price that I can't say lest you guys have twinkies. Have no idea what tractor they are going on but rest assured they will see the ground. Immediately started some rims to mount them on. Six ply skid steer in 23-8.50-12 and heavy. 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,975 #1193 Posted September 28, 2018 Fitted a new/second hand OE drive belt to my C-125. Came off a Raider 10 I have with a broken con rod. The one on was a standard V belt and has done stirling service for around 7yrs. I think it developed a tight spot as the clutch pedal started to vibrate back and forth with much rattling. The tensioner pulley was a bit loose as well. All ok now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,668 #1195 Posted September 28, 2018 Those R-4 tires would look great on a loader tractor for sure! Have them ready to go for your plow day and we can experiment with them. Those are stout tires for sure. Glad to see that you snagged them... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim, those look really close to what I replaced the front turfs on the Kioti with, they are really heavy because of FEL use, they don't "wrinkle" like LGT AG type tires also from experiences with the Kioti and eMax the R-4s are between full on R-1s and turfs for traction, good luck with them. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,630 #1197 Posted September 28, 2018 Yes they have some rubber to them. Imagine if you were to load them! Little overkill for the horses I have but the price was such I just couldn't turn them down. I checked & they retail for about 100 at a tire shop so really no worse than a same size Tru-Power and way less then Firestone Flotation 23s. They are the same tire Jeffrey...made in India on the sidewall. Unique step tread on the back of the lugs. 19 minutes ago, WVHillbilly520H said: because of FEL use and skid steer... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 16,856 #1199 Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Nice @pfrederi. Started trying to get the Eaton 1100 transaxle ready for the axle swap. First hub slid off with little persuasion, the second one...... not having it. Letting it sit out in the sun and heat up. Heat usually works right? Lord knows it’s hot enough outside. And yes, I know if I had fine a threaded shaft in the puller it would work better but you use what you got around here.
