After quite a while my wheel horse raider 12 is finally restored except for a seat which is on its way. I haven't really been showing it off because it's not a popular hobby for people my age. I just turned 16. So I can't really talk to people at my school about it because a lot of people don't even know what wheel horses even are. That's why I came to this website because there are a lot of wheel horse lovers just like myself. I also have a brinley plow hitch on my one wheel horse does anyone know what it's worth

My Electro light switch has done its time so I have been on the look out for one. Sure enough one pops up on eBay NOS with correct part #. Before you know it this thing sells for $37.00 .I guess that guy really had to have it. Did a little research and found that it is a Cole Hersee. Sure enough its in their catalogue with all the specs, dimensions...etc. A little more searching and they pop up everywhere. Got two for a total of $14.00 and they even sent a free little led flash light. Bezel is a little undersized even though specs are the same as original, however the bezel is interchangeable with the new switches, it just clips on. New bezel does fit correctly and cover cutout if one wants to use it. So just do a little research. These things are out there.

I bought this ole girl knowing it sat for over a year, checked the oil, sanded the points, added some fuel, she cracked right off and purred like a kitten. Thought for sure the carb would have to come off, couldn't believe it, but he was a stickler for running his engines until the bowls are empty after shutting off the gas. Now I just need that new seat pan to get here so I can bolt it on and we're good to go, maybe look for a generator belt guard.

Once you can get at it. I use a dremel tool with a small cut off wheel and cut a slot in the broken dog point set screw and then back them out with a small screw driver.

I just got done building my own land leveler. Thought I'd share the pics. Very happy with it as it will cut right down through snow and ice on the drive and pull gravel. It's 5 ft wide and being pulled with my sons 73' 16 auto.

Used my 551(Old Milly) for years in my very steep driveway sucessfully. As it is on photos it had a 55lb weight on front, another 55lb weight on back and 25lbs on each rear wheel along with the 212lbs on the seat of course. No problem whatsoever pushing 10" of snow in first gear up steep driveway. Not the most convenient set up mainly the left/right plow adjusting, but it works.

Being a younger man, a couple years before 30 I didn't grow up with these older tractors and systems. I have been enjoying learning about how these old starter/generators work on our beloved horses. After venturing through my first teardown (cleaning commutator and new brushes/ bearings) things seem a little simpler and my want to further check these things out before putting them back to service enticed me to buy this little gem. I know there are ways of checking armatures out with multi-meters, but there is something about preserving these old tractors, along with the technology and nostalgia of these old tools. I have re-wired the whole unit (except for the transformer), and turned it on for the first time today and she worked! just thought I'd share.

Less parts to remove if you pull the transmission, and it will be easier to work on. Either way, it's a pain in the rear, no pun intended.

I treated myself today to this little beauty, It's a Hohner professional JT60 or the (Hollywood) dates back to the early 90's has what they call an ATN (advance tonal network) by adjusting the two "tone" controls you can create different guitars sounds, Strat Tele, LP, and the like. That may sound like a sales pitch, but I reckon it aint half bad.

I'm amazed that I just plowed 1/4 mi drive 8 x and shoved snow to the top of the hood & that engine (14 hp single "1973")just hunkered down like a diesel the newer ones just ain't got that. But the sear weight of the gt 14 helps too... (and the drive belt didn't break) : ) I have a diesel 2320 JD loader /blade & I got this big 14 yrs olds smile when I plow with the GT14....it is a brute : ) Wife thinks same ,,how good is that

Pictures will be coming soon I just gotta figure out how to download them from my ipod

Oops! Sorry but due to present conditions around here when I read the word plow only one type comes to mind.

You can read about the Spaniards being unhappy with the RJ's because they were breaking front axles They had them "bucking, jumping and rearing up" as they plowed 10 acres of hard packed clay. That brought about the cast Suburban axles.

Had a sign left over from my old horse hauler just sitting around. Thought I should mount it up so I wouldn't get damaged. Sent from my tractor seat.

Oh, you meant the tractor! I was like: "Wait a second! Steve is like 68 or 72 yrs (or something) old!"

Nice. It looks a lot like what I did with my C-160, but I used some rectangular 55w Halogen lights. I thought it looked close to original.

A little humor from Texas. Get most of these from out of state...hmmm.

I have my spare Onan running well and finally starting well on the loader tractor. I was changing rear tires around when I noticed some oil under the frame runners. I started stripping the tractor down more and found the lines to the hydro-lift were real loose and leaking! That's when I decided to start checking everything I could since it is out of commission and undergoing some needed work. Over half the the loader's contact points were loose. I dug into the fan gear on the steering and it was caked with crude. Cleaned and lubed up again! Changed a connector on the neutral safety switch. Cleaned terminals in the dash tower around the battery. Cleaned out the fins around the hydro pump. (Not bad but removed the grime on them). Cleaned the grass in the bottom of the tower and along the frame rails. Checked the frame/transmission attach point for cracks/loose bolts. Shot grease in all the zerks. I'll change the hydro oil next. This will sport some 26 x 12 x 12 rubber on the back soon. Modifying the fender tub and the foot boards this week to get them under it. Dual tires are nice but for one thing, I really don't want to snap and axle and two, in the snow, they stick out farther than the bucket and packing snow down that I'm trying to pick up! And if your trying to get along the side of your driveway, forget it! What a mess!

I grew up on a farm and remember using one of these to check out starters and generators over 50 years ago, thanks for putting a smile on my face. We also had a commutator cutting lathe, very cool. Each farm in the area had a few specialty tools and we would do one another's work without any money changing hands.

Yupper duppers. The K series are the tanks of the small engine world.

I'm shopping for the USB outlet's for my camper, much handier than having those adapters!

Beautiful ax there. I'm calling ditto on the song.

I have been installing the USB outlets for over a year now. Great idea but not cheap. About $25.00 for a duplex outlet with 2 USB ports.

OMG I laughed myself to sleep last night and now my stomach hurts.. Those were the days my friend.

Wow Karl. Graduation this year. How time flies. Congratulations!!! I will see you in 2016 I will be sending you a bag of RedSquare Popcorn to celebrate.

Hi all, I once made my own front and added led lights on project C4. This time it is project bendy in need of lighting and whilst I have a cast reflector, I thought hell...why not make the whole lot... I bought some really nice 12v led bulbs with reflectors knowing I could mount them quite easily. So out with a sheet of ally and a template Some 46mm holes and push them through Cut out a piece of lexan and add a new headlight sticker And here it is in place on bendy When the hood is painted I will mount it all properly

I think Zeek clear coated his 552, turned out awesome too. I'm sure, images are in his gallery.

It broke off flush in the hole. I have no way to get at it. I cannot even get a pair of needle nose pliers on it to try and turn it. I think Bob is right...

That little 702 did a great job and wasn't even working hard. Thanks for sharing.

You need a belt designed to withstand the reverse bending over a flat idler pulley. The more common fractional horse power (Fhp) belts are for use on low horse power electric motors but use the same numbering system and will not last. The Wheel Horse/Toro belt is # 8334 - Size B x 84.8" The green Gates # 6985 belt is a suitable replacement - Size 5/8" x 85" The same green Gates belt made for Napa # 5L850W - Size 5/8" x 85" Garry

btw,the later ones were different, they were 1/2 turn on the piston-piston sundstrands

If the tow valve is stuck, use a crescent wrench to back off (out) the top nut several turns. The whole valve comes out, then cleaned it up refit it.

That 702 was a snow moving machine in the video. The hydraulic lift is the "cats meow"! Thanks, and keep it up north!!

He didn't spin the tires once! No socks, no chains, no problem!

Hes 65 and so am I, but I wear socks.

I thought about this! But at the same time, it feels wrong to put a Kohler on a work horse! It's the whole reason it was called a work horse, because it didn't have a Kohler like all the others. It's the one thing keeping me back from thinking about doing that.

I don't know what to say. I thought Rickv1957 had a problem, but Geno... Anyway, I found the new name for your business -

Good news today, I was able to get my current shed moved to my neighbors yard. Now I am able to have my new shed built without the city getting bent out of shape. It took seven men, three hours, six pizzas and two cases of Bud lite. No humans were injured or killed during the move.

I have a 17x26 shop with a 9x26 covered porch work area (26x26 slab) My restriction don't allow "barn style" roofs, but do allow 12 ft walls. So my shop has a 8-6 ceiling and the walls extend up12 ft to add height to the storage loft. it was a great idea, except about the time i finished it my middle son became the drummer in a band. So the loft became a band practice area. My son is now off to college, so I'm hopping to reclaim the loft soon! The ceiling joist of the outside porch are braces with steel plate so one day I can install a monorail hoist using some "heavy barn door track and make a multi wheel trolley to hang a 1000 lb electric hoist.

That's a fact.

WH customized by me... hangs down in the basement.

I love all of Bobs creations, but I gotta say that that one (with the big wheels) gets me all hot and bothered,,,

Whats up everybody, alot of you guys kind of already know a little bit about this project. There comes a time of when you can do things and finally its has come to life as we know it. It moves, runs fantastic. Kind of like excited if you know what I mean. Anyways I am not computer oriented so if I don't succeed at this I am pretty sure that Bob will get it straightened out. Well here goes.

I listed the 520-H a while back on this site for sale. There was no one interested. I loaded the 520 on the trailer and decided to take it to my house from the farm and list it on E-bay. While I was going home I rationalized.....hey what's wrong with 3 tractors at home. I must have at least 1/3 of an acre lot. And it has to take at least 30 minutes to clear the drive of snow. My wife was at the farm a few weeks ago and saw 4 WH in my shed plus 2 at home. She said do you really need 6 tractors? I didn't have a good response. Well I made room in the garage and all 3 fit. She doesn't know that I'm always trying to make more room! I'm not going to totally restore it. I'm going to have the tins bead blasted and repainted. I'll do the rims eventually. Hopeully I'll have it done before the snow flys. It has a cab too! I'll post pictures of the progress. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions also.

If you decide you aren't a 520 kind of guy, let me know! I have a rescue ranch for unwanted 520's, where they run and play in the woods until the end of their days!
