It's a Bachtold. Made by Bachtold for use on Wheel Horse tractors. Via Tapatalk 4

Clean, 44 hours, everything works as it should. Ready for snow removal.

I wanted to upgrade the tail lamp on my 73 12 and C-160 that uses the puny #68 bulb. Got these from Napa. Direct bolt on. # 2660-3 for $ 8.59 a piece

My house is a museum with no charge for visitors!

layne on wheel horse.MOV Granddaughter had a blast

Gonna give this one a go for the light duty stuff.

Picked up this bad boy yesterday with a few attachments, Blade, chains, power bagger and dump wagon. purchased it off the original owner who used it at his week end cabin since new. The cabin sold so he didn't need the tractor anymore and I stumbled into it. The unit had just over 300 hours on the meter. Nicest one I have seen yet. The elderly gentleman had a service record, he included, of every replacement part, oil change etc. he had done to the tractor since new. The tractor came with all the original manuals for it and the implements. Leaf duty will be a breeze this year!

Ye olde trusty 701! :-)

AMC has won this battle already, so, if I don't follow suit I'm in some trouble.

Caught this little, tri powered, custom Suburban 400 cruising around the show field today at the Kent show. Nice young man by the name of Ethan, said it was originally his brothers long term restoration project that languished a few years before he got it. Ethan wasted no time shoe horning three Briggs under the hood, which starts on one engine, then engage the clutch to bring the other two on line. Little guy sounds like a mini top fuel funny car sitting there at idle. I asked him if he's done any mowing with it...he replied, yeah, some...really fast mowing. I told him about us here on RedSquare...so hopefully he'll be joing us here soon...also mentioned, he's built a rotary engined Raider that eats gobs of gas.

Took way longer than I thought. But with household chores kids and all the other responsibilities life puts on you it wasn't bad. Looks good. Drives good. The boys are excited to have been part of the refresh. Family style. Hope you enjoyed reading about it as much as we did doing it. Now...ummmmm. wonder what one will be next. Shhhhhhhh. Quiet. If the mrs gets wind of this. LOOK OUT! LOL

Something here should work. Can't wait to see what that little Sears iron 2 wheeler will do. The new 520 w/ heated cab will be my go to machine on cold days. The Yammy 4wheeler is for clean up on warm days. The C-125 is the back up blower. Of course the two long handles always work.

Use the search feature here and you will find information on this topic. Short version is the HC model offered in 88 and 89 and had the swept forward front end. HC was the hydro commercial model and less gauges etc. Tranny is faster too. Here is a pic of mine with a custom made 3 point hitch

Definitely my Mrs Rules attachment.

It's funny because when AMC and Munn owned Wheelhorse, nobody called them AMC/Wheelhorse or Munn/Wheelhorse. Here is how I see it...........If it has the Wheelhorse brand on the tractor, it's a Wheelhorse, period. If it's a continuation of a WH model even if it doesn't say Wheelhorse on it, it's still a Wheelhorse. None of my tractors built during the Toro age are referred as Toro's. They aren't. They are true Wheelhorses or Toro/Wheelhorse if you wish. . To Cocky-Rocky.............If it wasn't for Toro and their marketing and management at the time, we wouldn't have many tractors to use or collect. They could have shut the line down and cranked out cheap imitations of both the garden tractor and lawn tractor lines calling them anything they wanted! But they didn't! They manufactured what were in essence, true over-built, over-engineered, heavy Wheelhorse tractors. The garden tractor line accepted the same WH implements as far back as the late 1960's for 16 more years ending in 2001 in one form or another and all this during a shift in society for cheaper, throw away when they wear out equipment. They even created what many consider bigger, better versions of the WH designs with the Xi Garden Tractors until 2005. They even kept the parts for the older tractors and those they continued to manufacture available for a long time. Just imagine if if MTD had bought them out. I owned a 1975 HD Sportster that I traded even up for my 1980's C-175 with a deck and a plow. As you said, AMF kept HD afloat but destroyed their reputation for quality. Toro kept WH going and did it without much sacrifice on quality at all. My 310-8, 416-8 and 520-H are Wheelhorses. Your 267H was designed by Toro but influenced by Wheelhorse. Look at that tractor and how heavy it is built verses what you would buy now for a similar lawn tractor. You have every right to call it a Wheelhorse. Because it is.

Had a great time today with a few of my WH peeps in attendance at the CAMA show in Kent, Ct. today. SALTYWRIGHT(Russ), Stevebo&Brennen, Fireman(Jeff), Coadster32(Chris&family), Stratostar250(Tom&Dad) Really is hard to beat the friendly camaraderie, beautiful weather, doing some hot laps on your , and the awesome venue that the Connecticut Antique Machinery Association provides...sure to make all your buddies smile.

same thing as last year, my 40 year old Gilson! Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2

I've been using my spike tooth harrow a lot here lately it works well and gives me lots of seat time I know I should clean it up and paint it considering they are kinda hard to find but I like using the stuff I have!!

I used this last winter made from a horse mat from TSC because I plow my neighbors driveways as well as mine, and two had serious $$ repaving done last year. It worked well and was cheap. But that plow was sold and replaced with a genuine Toro Wheel Horse plow for this year. Now I have done work on my driveway so I will need to duplicate it plus make skid strips from a cutting board for my snowthrowers. And in action. It still clears all but ice.

I have a 416H Onan and love it. Facing the flywheel side, the regulator is located on top of the engine shroud on the right hand side (right of the air cleaner). Its a small, rectangular (about 1" x 2") part that has 3 electrical terminals coming out of it. It looks similar to a Kohler command voltage regulator. The two outside terminals are your AC in, and the center terminal is your DC out. Check the DC terminal with your meter (DC terminal to negative on battery) and see what it shows. If its putting out more than say around 14.9 at full throttle, I would think your regulator is bad and is over charging. If you have any concern that the regulator isn't grounding properly, then add a small ground wire from the regulator mount bolt to one of the bolts that hold the cover (metal heat shield) over the engine head on that side. I do not know the exact Onan specs for this application, but my 416 has always made around low 12's at idle and high 14's at full throttle. Hope this helps and Good luck!

Ok guys. The grande finale.

You do not have to open the transmission to change any of the seals. You need to measure the axles...you can do that with a tape measure on the outside of the hub where the axle is flush. 1" axles take Wheel Horse part # 100863...or SKF #9815 at your favorite NAPA dealer. 1 1/8" axles take WH # 100443 or SKF #11050. You can pick the 1/8" thick old seal out with an awl...do a search...plenty of threads that tell ways to do this. Hope that helps.

Here they are Steve....lil guy got hurt at soccer and just got home...... last minute Charlie!!......PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS, Iowa, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Michigan St, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio St., Nebraska. ​I sure hope the Michigan not so big blue doesn't let me down this week......

Craig and Lane - I'm not so sure those should not be in a museum!!!!! Or are they just a really nice 5 footer? Ed - if you can't get it moved with that group of worthy snow removal items, IT AIN'T GONNA GET MOVED! Mike - I want to see the "XI" Fir - That is one LLLOOOOOONNNGGGGG LANE! Talk about seat time!

Considering the winters we've had, this is my favorite attachment.

I'm still mowing ... LoL Will get pics/video when I put the plow on or .... have to use it. Thankfully I usually end up doing several neighbors driveway's too ... more seat time!

My 1993 314 with 42 inch five sector snowplow and my 1967 Lawn Ranger with the STR-324 snowthrower are going to be the main team this year. I have rubber tire chains for the 314 which I will put on when it snows! I have used Sno-Jet every season on my snowthrower also! Stuff works great!

I'm gonna have to say my Tiller ... or maybe the cultivator ... I love doing things in the garden

Mine used to be my four wheeled wagon. ... But this has taken over since I got it in July. Via Tapatalk 4

We are just barely one week away! Thank you for taking the time and making the sacrifice to be with us for the day. We are excited to see everyone again! Thank you to everyone who has communicated to me your willingness to help with the raffle prizes. We could still use some help. If you feel led to contribute please let me know. Plowing may be a no go. The beans are still on the field and am hoping we will be able to turn over some soil. Bring some fuel for your Horses. I am planning on having a tractor cruise. These beauties were meant to move! I will be placing a donation box out to help cover many of the expenses that are incurred during the day in order to put a show of this magnitude together. Any help is greatly appreciated. Food will be available for purchase again from the Miller family. The pies are amazing! A few folks will be setting up Friday afternoon and evening. Feel free to stop by any time after noon on the 3rd. Hoping to have a bonfire Friday night if the weather cooperates. We will have a swap meet area again. Work out and post those deals this week. I will continue to update as we are getting closer.

That word is used in my shop real often.Trouble is I am the only one there. Marvin

Yes even doctors make mistakes. That is why our fees are so high. We need to carry extra insurance called " Medical malpractice". Check to see if you policy has a "dumazz" rider, if not get it added.

Any thoughts on this thing? Has "Wheel Horse 616Z" decal on front (no Toro). I can't recall seeing any thing aside from a brief mention of horse ZTR's here. Its popped up in the area - if he should happen to lower the price - a good bit? it might get to be interesting. Reckon the deck would cross over to a tractor? decks are getting scarce... "Wheel Horse 46 in cut. with a 16 hsp. motor. not sure what is wrong with it. asking 400.00 or best offer" You got one of these Geno?

Work on the Work Horse is moving along quickly. The deck is "mint", stored it for the time being. Unsure of what gray to use, picked up Rustoleum Smoke Gray. How's it look?

Thanks Scotty I was too busy today to get out and take a close look at it. I should get the chance to look on Sunday. G.

.040 is not a problem unless the cast iron is porus. If you get it past .030 and see pitting in the cylinder, then you know you have one of these bad blocks. But most K301's could be bored to a K321 and the crank changed.

Nice 520 Steve, do you have any details of the 3 point build to share?

She's been dying to mow since she got her own little tractor and today was the day. I figured If I mow everything with the 520 and she mows around the trees (and there's lots of them) it would go a lot faster. She's never been on a rider before and never drove a stick before either. About 5 minutes of pointers and she was gone! I don't think she mowed over anything important but I haven't checked yet. She knows I never use the camera so I got a little sneaky today. Sorry the pics aren't better but I was hiding and the camera was zoomed as far as it would go. She's gonna kill me when she sees this! Here she is on her 68 Lawn Ranger. With that big smile she could have been on a brochure!

Beautiful. Nice job Gary

Nice tractor, don't forget the leaf duty pics!

That blade would look cool if it had one of those old Sno eater decals from the 70's on it!

I am Gary... looking forward to seeing you there too.

Bet you will next time.

If you can get the onan running good, why not use it till it quits? Keep it serviced as normal and run it.If it never quits, good thing. If it did ever die, you would have a fresh kohler waiting on the shelf. You are going to have to fix the wiring either way. I say use it.

If we are all honest, that handle fits the whole bunch of us !!!

I sure could use that snowblower lift flag by the axe!

This is such a tragedy Neil. My prayers go out to his family and friends. Everyone involved in the hobby should use this as a lesson. Earlier this summer I witnessed a farm tractor roll over off a trailer onto the operator. Luckily, he survived. I would really love to see more rules implemented at the WHCC show. I have always felt that it is a matter of time before something bad happens. 1st, a fire extinguisher should be mandatory at each display. I would love to see one way traffic around the loop, and of course no speeding or passing. I always worry about tractor traffic at the snack bar area. Things can happen so suddenly and unexpectedly. It is easy to poo-poo my thoughts until someone, especially a child is hurt or even worst.

I have 10.5's on Marvin and my c-160 with the stock wheels that came on them. . I don't think they were wider
