    Picked up the 1054 at the auction this afternoon along with the 54" dozer/snow blade. Other attachments they sold separately. Got so busy with guys congratulations on the tractor did not hear what other items went for.... Told the owner I will send him a few photos when I get done fixing her up. His Uncle bought it new in 1964. PS it drives like a dream!!

    Here is the $50 WH that was on ebay this past Saturday. Steve (wh500special) knew I was looking for one, so he grabbed it and then passed it on to me. I picked it up just now and it's sitting now in the garage with the 416-8 and some JDs. It's missing some engine pieces and the front wheels are bolted to hubs, incorrect rear wheels, and the deck is pretty shot, and I'm pretty sure the seat spring is backwards. But, it's safe and sound now.

    Life has been crazy as always so I have not been here much. There has been a victory! As per my last updates #145 &#142, new belt is still going with no issues whatsoever. Last change in deck was to relocate idler to the outer hole in tension bar.Prior to that problem persisted. The only last thing I need to do to confirm solution is to actually use another brand belt to see what happens. If everything is OK with that one we can safely assume that the lack of proper tension was the problem. If problem reoccurs with that belt, then belt quality/type will be the problem.

    Looking good Richie. That would fit in very well with some of the cool customs at the show and there will be lots more tomorrow when the show officially opens. The super D that @gulftanebuilt is a site to behold and you ought to hear it. I'm batting almost 1000 on the stuff to bring back. Haven't got the hood from Lane yet but we talked about it. Just haven't picked it up yet. Nice afternoon, a great Mexican meal with the guys and wives, some rain this evening and it's supposed to be nice tomorrow.

    SUCCESS !!!! Replaced the black ignition ring with a new one (Gray) strong magnets, and the beast roared to life !!! Just to sum up the problems, the coil secondary was bad also, open winding. The ignition module may be still OK, I will check this out later on the bench to see if the circuit will operate with a makeshift tester. Now the H518 has a new capacitor, a new coil, a new ignition module (and heat shield spacer), and a new ignition ring. The former parts lasted 29 years, so if these new parts last that long I will be 102 years old and probably won't even be able to mount the horse any longer !!! LOL As a side note, after removing all the parts to get at the ignition module and ignition ring, as well as the coil, I can now do this blindfolded, sort of like field stripping my old M14 from Army days. Thank you to all who contributed some really GREAT information regarding this problem, may you all win the lottery !! Dick

    I took a tall chute assembly off a beat up blower and put it on a good short chute. Works great. I just took everything from the base to the top of the chute and transferred it over

    The 6.5hp Predator engine bolts right down in the existing frame holes, Down side is the air cleaner will only fit under the hood if you remove the top cover. The muffler does not fit under the hood either. I added a different air cleaner, down side made the brake hard to get to. Fixed that later by bolting a wrench on top of the brake peddle. Purchased an exhaust flange and bent 3/4" conduit to reach a muffler under the hood, no down side on that. After these alterations I had to drill the main jet out with a #67 drill bit.

    Go to the "Big Show" the raffle prize is a Tri-cycle Wheel Horse! I really don't know. I have seen several of them, but never was that interested because as a worker it may be too unstable.

    If the tank was "goobered into the tank a threaded nipple" the standard grommet may not seal properly. All is not lost, a bulkhead fitting may do the trick. You would have to drill the tank hole larger and use a bulkhead fitting. Fish a string through the gas cap opening and out the new and de-burred hole. Put the inner part of the bulkhead fitting with its' gasket on the string letting it travel to your newly cut (hole sawed) hole. Wriggle the fitting threads through the hole and screw the bulkhead compression nut on. The fitting gasket must be inside the tank or product (gas) will seep around the fitting threads and drip, drip, drip. http://www.marinedepot.com/Double_Threaded_Bulkhead_Fitting_Double_Threaded_Bulkheads-Plumbing_Parts-FT1131-FIFTBHDT-vi.html Then a thread by barb fitting and a gas line valve and of course a fuel filter. Use Teflon tape on the barb's threads. https://www.grainger.com/product/THOGUS-Male-Adapter-WP121689/_/N-qvx?s_pp=false&picUrl=//static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/3XVK8_AS01?$smthumb$ https://www.grainger.com/product/THOGUS-1-2-Nylon-Male-Adapter-1VRY8?functionCode=P2IDP2PCP

    I know there are several guys in motorized wheel chairs that are at every show. I'm hoping they may be able to assist you. But...if they can't, you know this bunch of guys will find a way to make it work.

    I have never understood the purpose. I grew up on a farm and never saw any job where having the front wheels like that would help. The opposite, in fact. If you are straddling a row with the rear wheels, it would put the front wheels square on the row

    VanSickle makes good paint...I used some of their Ford blue tractor and implement paint when I repainted my bucket truck...keep in mind this was a cheap/quick rattle can job but it turned out really good. I imagine if you buy all the stuff to do it "right" it would turn out super nice...two weeks after I painted my truck I had a limb get away from me, slid right down the boom and across top of the cab...not a scratch one it

    Take it off and test it if it works it is a $100+ item.....It may have been the coil that died not the trigger leading to the change over of ignition systems.

    Thursday is "setup" day and not an official day of the show. That way when the show "starts" for Friday morning, there are displays and people already there. Some people show up Friday to setup too. Your close enough to visit everyday!

    You got it Louis. The valve expands the rubber grommet to make the seal. They are available on line and at dealers. One trick ....start the grommet in the tank but do not push it in the entire way until you have the valve fitting started. Then push the entire assembly in together.

    I will be selling gaskets for the round hoods with the Tecumseh gas tanks that have the neck fo filling going through the Wheel Horse tractor round hood. Original Part number is #2767 -these are I am selling a replacement gasket for a Wheel Horse Tractor that currently has or did have a rubber grommet/gasket part #2767. This grommet/gasket surrounded a 2 1/2 inch hole in the Wheel Horse tractor hood surrounding the gas tank cap and neck. This part is not original Wheel Horse/Toro - - but it works great as a replacement to finish off the hood and gas tank cap area. Part # 2767 was listed as a 2 1/2 I.D. grommet that snuggly fits on both sides of the metal hood cutout around the gas tank cap. This will fit on Wheel Horse Lawn Rangers 1964 (34E &34R), 1965 (L-155 and L-105), 1966 (L-156 & L-106), 1967 (L-157 and L-107) and 1968 (1-2631 & 1-1631). It will also fit on Wheel Horse Models 603, 604, 654 and 704 hoods. This part is great to have to finish off that Wheel Horse Restoration you have worked on! I will have a distinctive marketing tool in place so you won't piss out on a chance to get one of these. $5.00 each at the Big Show! Don't forget SAVE THE TRACTORS!

    I plan on doing that on the blades for the 875. Will tell you a welding tip, I clamp the blade down on a piece of copper plate and then TIG weld the edge. Weld on the copper side turns out flat. . Those are the owner's Brush Hog blades!! lol

    Good evening Jeff, when I had the flywheel off a few days ago, the ignition ring was really stuck because I had to try to turn it back about 90 degrees to get the key lined up on the shaft before I could place the flywheel back on. It was really stuck on there after 28 years. I finally got it turning, and it does sit in a small groove cut into the drive shaft, that is why I asked if anyone had taken one off. I don't know if you have to pry it up out of the groove, or some other technique. I think Boomer will know, he must have changed out many. I didn't get a chance to take things apart today, the grass was too long after yesterdays rain so I had to use the walk behind and you can imagine how long it takes to cut over 1 acre. Cheers, Dick Thanks for the info RubyCon1, that is a neat way to check the IM, and the trigger ring magnets also. According to another post, I forgot who, but they said a flat blade screwdriver held between finger and brought close to the ring should be able to support the screw driver if the magnets are still strong, otherwise replace the ring.

    How did you pull this ring out Jeff, it seems as though it sits in a groove on the crank shaft. As for testing this little devil, I am going to see if I can use the old module and the old ring to build a test set up. If you look at the schematic of the ignition system, when the spinning ring with it's magnet comes in line with the pickup head on the ignition module, the circuitry inside the module produces a ground for the primary winding of the coil completing the electrical circuit. This allows the current flowing in the primary of the coil to produce a stepped up high voltage in the secondary of the coil and ultimately the spark at the plugs. Curious minds want to know...LOL Cheers, Dick
