I've been working on this charger 10 for my dad its been almost a year sense I started on it he bought it off eBay and it was rusted and rough now its has a fresh coat of paint new decals and a 16hp Kohler bored over .10 new piston rings and rod valves and gov gear

Nice truck Craig must be the year for it got mine in march Brian

Picked up a 74 C-160 with electric lift, 36" rear discharge deck, snow plow this week. That tecumseh has got to go.

Love the GMC's

I have mine made also. But I use red for positive because I'm a Banana Head and would likely hook up a charger backwards!

My first was a 1998 ford ranger 4.0l ohv 4x4 with 3.73 axles short bed double cab sport. I loved that truck so much and wished I would have never sold it when I was 19 years and stupid..

Hello Glenn, Thank you for interest. I'll try & share as time goes on especially if i can grab the plough or blade soon. I'm not sure when i'll get it done but i may take it out, as is, for the 1st couple of shows. There is certainly a wealth of knowledge out there which is proving very useful.

Found this pic recently, thought it was really cool

Some of the Wheel Horse Hot Rods a buddy has built over the years.

My new 2015 work truck arrived here today... sitting in my driveway with a total of seven miles on the clock. Wanted the full size bed, as I'm tired of only being able to rustle home one at a time. The only drag being...I'm gonna need a new rear window decal, really hated to see that go.

This popped up on ebay the other day and I made what I felt was a decent offer and the seller accepted so it is on the way to be hung in the new barn. I believe it is a true dealer sign however not sure what vintage? It is about 3 ft wide. If anyone has any information on it. please let me know. Thanks- ps- the sign is porcelin and one sided

This was on the local news this morning. Video of a moose checking out a Wheel Horse and snowblower. http://www.myfoxboston.com/clip/11387709/moose-on-the-loose-chimps-down-drones The following video is also cool. Shows a chimp knocking down a drone with a stick

Finally picked it up today. 1987 model with the M16S Kohler. It's no cream puff, but there's still a lot of work left in her! More pics to come, as it was dark and raining when I got her home.

Put some paint down a little darker then I would have like but hey it was free paint so can't complain

What, Brian too? You guys with all your current shape GM trucks, first it was Steve rubbing it in with his 14 last year, now you guys with your 15s..... (Brian, i assume yours is a 15?) Im posting a pic of my 13 "old model' to try and fight back all you guys with your 'cutting edge' trucks..... I recommend you do the same Denny, don't just stand back and let them kick sand in our faces!!!!!

I like my Kohlers, but I will take those HH model Tecumseh's all day long

Yea true electric start is better anyways. Thanks for the info

Can anyone identify this tractor? It's powerredby a Wisconson AEH spec 22086.

I wish I could attend that swap meet, but that is my birthday and my wife has something planned for that weekend that she won't tell me any details.

Steve Looks like a nice show. Some day I am going have to come out and see That part of the country. [if you see a 607 let me know.] thanks and enjoy the show Gary B..

Nothing got in my eyes but I had the strangest situation with a wire wheel strand. I was cleaning some screw threads using a wire wheel in my drill press. Didn't think anything of it. When I was finished working on the project, I went to take a shower and all of a sudden there is something that I can't see sticking in the top of my left shoulder. It actually was facing towards the outside. I got my wife to look and she took a 3/4" piece of wire from the wire wheel out of my shoulder. I can not figure out how it got there as I was wearing a jacket, flannel shirt, and T-shirt while cleaning the screws. I just can't stress enough to wear goggles or wrap-around safety glasses while using anything that rotates.

Philip, I sure find it interesting, matter of fact, very interesting. Thanks for sharing, best of luck and keep us posted. Hope I get this right, my buddy Neil will correct me if not,,,,"jolly good ol chap". Glenn

That, I believe is a 48" Side Discharge. You can save belt wear by removing the belt guide at the front of the deck. A long-time WH dealer shared that hint with me.

Let it go guys. People like that aren't going to change.

Can't beat a good machine/welding shop close to home!

How can his seat not be heated?

How about a remote starter for Teckys?

Sounds like you need this file for you records The D is the tractor details and the A is the attachment list which will give you all the model numbers. Here is the illustrated parts list for the 48" side discharge deck Operator manual A search of the manuals using a model number should bring up more manuals. If not let us know and will get them posted. This chart likely has the belt dimensions on the last pages of the file in two lists Garry

The screw on top of the carb...screw it in until it "gently" bottoms out...pay attention to how many turns it takes...might be like 2 1/2 turns. Then pull that screw out...there is a little hole down near the bottom of the shaft of that screw. Using carb cleaner and a small piece of wire, clean out that hole. Put screw back in by bottoming out and the backing back out the revolutions you counted in the first place. If that hole is clogged or dirty...it will do what your horse is doing. I would also take a look at your points...should be .0020...I like about .0018 on older machines. The points control your timing on these Kohlers. Hope that helps.

Give your wife a BIG kiss from all of us folks here at She a keeper for sure... and your wife as well...

Would of lasted me one mowin' too! After this winter filled with white junque, cold, ice, wind, we need all the sunshine exposure we can get. Lucky my Horses live in a heated barn, not too hot, just a nice temp for sleeping. I do open the barn doors once a week during winter so they can roar and purr for a bit, breathe a little. Grandson used one yesterday, tine dethaching. Next Grandson today, used another Horse mowing. The Horses love grass!

... ... Only issue is I would have it ripped off in no time with all the trees around me ....

Here's a dealer's tag that is on a C-160 I just picked up...

One from Orlando, Florida. and one from Ocala, Florida. This one is kind of faded though. Midway Tractor

Found these dealer tage on a couple of goodies I have.

I wonder if they are still selling lawn equipment

Spied this one today on the Coach's C-160.

I bet you're familiar with Bob's weld shop on Alpine Rd ? that was a Wheel Horse dealer I noticed you're from Lewisberry....I'm a stone throw from you south of Spring Grove .....our local dealer was Inerst Auto in Jacobus .....still open today with Toro/ Echo / Wheel horse parts .

Unfortunately I never got to meet this gent. His wife said "He absolutely Wheel Horse....." He sold and collected "broken" ones. Do not final sales/distribution date, but last manual found was 1980. I was lucky enough to get into the contact group and eventually buy all his existing NOS and a few "broken" stuff. Friend pacer Bill, had a couple C-100's follow him home. Anyway in the NOS was one of his fender stick ons; I asked son if he wanted to keep and would he mind if we posted the stick on. He gave permission and a copy to post. The family is still in business, Radio Shack and fireworks. The son is a very fine fellow living in NC but still treks back here as needed.

Manus Power Mowers 3116 N. Woodward Royal Oak, MI This sticker is on the hood of P'Chops Ranger, I have not had time to verify it yet tho.

Knapp & Trau Inc. Fairport-Webster Road Fairport, NY Original dealer sticker on my 1964 model 854: Scot

I have this one in Ct. I do not know if it is open or not maybe some one in the area can chime in. Gary B........

I have the original bill of sale for my tractor, it didn't go far from home. It was bought at Jim's Avenue Lawn & Garden, 774 Lincolnway East, South Bend, 46616. steve

My dealer is: Lawson's Outdoor Power Equipment 113 W Main Street New Market, MD, 21774 He still has old and restored Wheel Horses on the showroom floor. Here is a picture of his sign on the front of the building

Sounds like a very cool project! Here is my dealer to add to the list: Dealer: Countywide Wheel Horse, Elkhart, IN, Date of Opening: Unknow, Closed: Maybe 5 years ago. This former Wheel Horse dealership was sold to a guy maybe 5 years ago or so and is now named Yard-N-Gard Outdoor Power Equipment. They sell Gravely, Toro, Simplicity, Stihl, Echo, Billy Goat, Ariens, and Husqvarna equipment now. You still can order Wheel Horse parts from him though since he is a Toro dealer. Hope that is what you were looking for...

I'll start off with my own hometown dealer was Lincoln Radiator, Lincoln IL. It was owned by Daris Knauer who was a family friend. I've spent countless hours talking with him about old stuff. He opened in 1959, and had the very first RJ-58 that he sold back in his showroom for many, many years. It was traded in several years after purchase and he never resold it. He had an amazing back room full of parts and older tractors. There are probably a lot of old timers here who will recognize the name and have bought parts from Lincoln Radiator. He sold out his inventory in 2008, coincidentally to someone who eventually became a member here lincolnpower38. That shop has since closed. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to own the sign when it came up on auction. It's really faded, it hung on the west side of a brick building for about 40 years. Who else owns one of their hometown dealer's signs?
