This is how my 15 year old son and 10 year old daughter having fun with my tractors in the snow. My son built the sled out of wood when he was 13.

this my first Video so I hope this works Enjoy and Merry Christmas to u all Click on Vid it should run Gary B...............

Thanks for the welcome. Here it is plowing snow before the problem.

Picked up a $50 1848 Workhorse today. PO stated that it came with the house and ran fine until last yr when the starter went out. fluids look fine, engine not seized up came with a dented in lower front 42" RD deck.

Here are a few pics of my center cap that I made for my 520H. The cap is aluminum and glued in place with silicone. Thanks goes out to Glenn Pettit and Terry Denis for getting me the logo to engrave the center cap.

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!! Hope everyone has safe and happy hoildays with their family, friends, and Wheel Horses!!! Taylor

Nice find Craig, I like that color scheme with the black incorporated into the hood best. Unfortunately horses are hard to find in OK...

Only a little. The tractors I have with the KT17 engines do not get used much so I just keep the oil level at the top of the mark or a little over. I just start them up and run them a little every now and then. All of my workers are ONANs. My main mower is my 520HC. I did have a starting problem with one of the KT17 IIs at one time. I was over choking and really flooding it so much that raw fuel was increasing the level of the oil in the crankcase. After that experience I always check oil level regularly and always make sure the level is at the top mark or a little over. When I was flooding the engine, the oil level got way over because of gasoline getting into the crankcase. If I did use the KT17s for work I would overfill a little, check often, and try to never let the level get below the top mark. I also use straight Rotilla 30W in the KT17s and I do not run them in the winter. Here are a couple of discussions on the KT17s for some background: http://www.mytractorforum.com/archive/index.php/t-61008.html http://s6.zetaboards.com/Only_Cub_Cadets/topic/8523012/1/

I bet Stevasaurus's mom felt the same way!

We'll have to ask Karl that question, I've never used that feature. After uploading my video to youtube, the last thing I do is sign out of my account... then use the back button to go back to the video...I can then cut and paste the link into my post here... this allows viewing the video without being signed into my account. If you need any help, when you're ready... PM me, and I'll walk you through the process. You'll be suprised...ii's really easy to do.

Craig this has a share button that goes directly to U/Tube but can u post from there?????

Try starting up a free account with Youtube instead... I think you'll find it much easier to work with than Photobucket. Should be a setting on your new camera that enhances image stabilization too.

Gary. Nice video of a nice tractor. Amazing what's out there. Thanks for sharing. Glenn

If you decide to pass on it let me know. I'm in south Jersey.

Merry Christmas to you and your family as well! Mike.............

Great deal for you prior to this Christmas holiday. You'll be on the high, and take a few days to let settle in. Maybe you'll get a can of carnuba this Christmas Real nice.. jackhammer Rick

As my wife would say, "And there's the dog!" It's amazing how many hounds end up in our videos

Nice tractor there Mike If you have anymore chrome plating to clean (possibly the breather cover) you might try simichrome. Not as cheap as aluminum foil but I've done 3 wheel covers 2 applications each . I've been given a small tube by a friend to do my hubcaps, use sparingly doing small areas but so far it serves my purpose. It does not get rid of deep pits but other spots are looking real good. @bay search will show you. I've received 2 more tubes in mail yesterday . I'm sure many other products would suffice also. Thats a nice horse

That little tractor is in great condition and that techy purs like a kitten. Thanks for sharing !!

Well done Gary!!! Some day I gotta master the video thing. Mike...........

Merry Christmas Redsquare!

gotta love that

There is provision for an oil filter adapter on the engine on some of them, not sure if series 1 had them but my series 2 does. The adapters come up on eBay now and again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe we should send Dennis Rodman down there to escort Ole Nick home.

With no fighter escort, he's over Chinese airspace now... Lord, I hope he makes it out.

To all you POND collectors across the pond.

amazing what they can do now. Thanks for sharing.

NAPA #8229 is my choice, when properly cared for they last a long time. The warranty is 12 months.

That tractor looks fantastic, I'm sure your friend is very proud and smiling from ear to ear.

Gotta Lov it - Great chasm

LOOKING GOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!!!!

I fixed both of my engines with bushings from someone on ebay. I little drilling and new brass screws and less than $15 for both 14 & 16hp Kohlers. Great fix!

I made front & rear winch mounts for my WH. By pulling 1 pin, I pivot the winch mount forward, so I can raise the hood. The picture was taken, before I bolted an eye bolt at the top, for a pulley. Works great. In the rear I use it to raise a tine dethatcher, I use to collect pine cones and needles.

Great tune C101,it made me think of this one

Someone said America will be a great nation until the politicians discover they can buy your vote with your own money. There are a lot of generous people in this country,I pray folks will see whats slipping away,before it is gone. The greatest country ever and people in high places are intent on making us just another country.

We moved into our house Dec.31, 1969 and that is the only year we didn't decorate for Christmas. Over the years we've added a few things. Our town has had a lighting contest for quite a few years and we finally entered it this year and won first prize. We received a nice certificate and a nicer check for $500. That will almost pay for the electric bill this month..................

Craig, I would remove the original fender pan, wrap it in bubble wrap, and tuck it safely away somewhere. Only when its working days are done and its time to be a show Horse would I put the original fender pan back on.

Welcome to Red Square. There are a few people on this site that have the parts you need...start a thread in the "Wanted Section". You need to be careful which differential housing you get. You need to count the teeth on your bull gear and if your mushroom gear is OK, you need a differential housing with the same number of teeth as the one you have. There are 2 different teeth counts out there. If the other one comes along, then you need the matching mushroom gear for that differential housing. If you end up replacing both, then you have to see if you have a needle bearing or a ball bearing in the brake drum hole. Not hard or complicated, just want you to get the right parts the first time. The spider gears in both types of housings are the same...as are the axle gears (should they be bad). Here is a video showing and explaining what I am talking about...Plenty of help here on the forum, and that trans is very fixable. If you have any questions, just ask...I may be able to help you find the parts. http://s419.photobucket.com/user/stevasaurus/media/5010-2%20TRANSMISSION/2011_1102JAKESTRANNYS0001.mp4.html?sort=3&o=4

Yep, that's the fill plug. Oil capacity is 1 1/2 Qts. I usually fill through the gear stick hole so I can get more solvent in there to clean it all up, and it goes in a lot quicker and there is less of a chance of making a mess.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm very sorry to hear about the very frustrating issues your having with your crawler. I hate it when things go like that! I do realize that $300 seems cheap when thinking about the necessary work to fix the old ones, but when you don't have $300 you do what you have too. Thank the Lord, I'm not going to have to go threw that, as my friend has some good used ones he's sending me. Thanks Martin, I consider that a great compliment coming from you! I'm very happy to say my friend had a set of good used cast iron spindles assemblies he's sending me! This deck would have been sitting a long time if I would have had to spend $300 on it. Things have been a little tight here lately. I will put new bearings in the spindles when they get here, as they're only $3 a piece. I got to spend a little time working on the deck today. I welded in a new baffle, as well as a few other pieces that had been broke off. This really is a very strange deck design. I have pictures of other decks to go on, for verifying the missing pieces. I know the welds are very crude, but I'll clean them up. I also rewelded around some previous repairs, that were done poorly. Thanks Matt

Not to but I'm going to so hand me a stick! There isn't a good running 12 HP WH Garden Tractor that is going to be under-powered mowing a hilly lawn. Honestly Glenn, when you asked all of us for our opinions, we are giving you what we consider to be our best choices mostly based on us being in the seat of many different WH tractor/motor configurations. But if you were a golfer and asked a site full of Golf Pro's their opinion about a swing, well, if you took all their advice, you would be lucky to even hit the ball let alone keep in on the fairway! A 12 horse power Wheel Horse with a Magnum or K series engine in good running condition with a 42 inch deck will do what you need it to do for a long, long time. If you see a 312-8 or 312-H or a C120 8 speed in good condition for a good price, don't hesitate to buy it. Naturally a 14 horse power Kohler is even better! Many people start out Wheelhorse ownership with an Onan-powered monster with the so-called advanced electrical systems or a D series monster with their own set of issues and they can be nightmares to folks not accustomed to cursing and swearing, woops........I mean dealing with and working around problems that really don't exist with simpler-designed C-Series or Kohler powered 300 series tractors. Just keep this thought when looking: A 12 horsepower K or Magnum series motor in a WH Garden tractor will mow a hilly lawn. I know! I mowed a very hilly shale bank lawn that far exceeded the pitch to safely mow with a C-175 and a C-120. Both tractors mowed it just fine. Both tractors had similar 42 inch SD decks and which tractor paid the price for mowing across and up/down my lawn? My twin-powered C-175. (Needed a top-end rebuild due to oil starvation caused by the hills).

well the only one i ever sold i bought back the next year with lots of new parts & a giveaway price! last count was 27 horses with 10 used on a weekly basis

i have bought quite a few duffers , sold them to get what i have now . I also sold a few that i didnt really wanna sell but i had to to get to what i ultimatley wanted . When looking , be prepared for longish road trips & dont be too dispondant when you get there it wasnt as nice as you thought , one day you will get there and it will be better than you thought . those are the ones that you keep & then sell on the duffers . iI bought one thinking is was really rough because the sale picture wasnt too good , when i arrived it was virtually immaculate , i still have it

Sold a few regretted one, but I know where it is, have some that I don't know why I keep. I seem to buy junk and make it look like near new but that is Wheel Horse life on a budget. Most I ever paid for a single tractor was $200, Farthest driven was 500 miles (it was free.) Deals are out there but its a right time and place thing.

I got up to 7 and just did not have the room to hang on to them...down to 4 now and that is a good number for me. The ones I sold had Techumsehs on them... just kidding...they were good horses...they also had pull starts.

I don't know...sold my C-160 this year. Then, turned around and replaced it with another RJ, a 603, and now the 1267. So much for making a little room around here.

A few edits to entertain you.
