Happy Rainy Saturday, Made run up to Munson Mass and did some horse tradin with @snowhound . Got this GT1600 and GT2500 Anniversary. The 1600 runs, the 2500 needs a bit of work. 2 more Briggs powered 'Horses in the fleet! I also LOVE THE CAMO treatment on the 1600. Thanks Ed it was a pleasure. And I got outta there before Ben came at me with a kitchen knife ! Inside joke a few of us can understand espescially @Sparky Tony

I picked this one up late last fall so I never was able to try the mower deck. Today I did. Mowed really well.

Well I just added a new seat to my collection. I wanted to try something new just to see how it would look . Not bad but I don't know if i really like it or not. A lot of work trying to sew pleats And letters. I really like the diamond design and may do one something like my first experiment As In The Last Picture but use a 1/2 sew foam to make them stand out.. But what do you guys think ???

Hurried home today from the Royal Wedding. Left my lawn chair behind because I was going to miss my flight. Rainy day at The Plaza today. Got my working wheels and new tires on the Skonkmobile. My son is coming home from Buffalo today so it's Mother's Day. She likes gardening andwants chickens but we can't have them so:

Its a Brinly bb-367 lift boom NICE SCORE!

NOS set here... same two bills.

I never met a smorgasbord I did not like. Your transmission will never know. Dead Dinosaurs are dead dinosaurs... see you at the show Paul.

Picked these up at Portland and I'm curious as to what they were?

Jim, here's a pic of mine from a couple years back.

I worked on some RJ three piece transmission parts today. Two drive pulley side panels. I removed old bearings and brass bushing on one plate that had a really bad axle tube brass bushing. I also painted some hubs off of an RJ tractor.

Really like the diamond design.

When ever something mechanical breaks that my wife is using she'll call me and ask if I'm AAA Approved!

This is my 70' Commando V8 (VH-80 cast iron block Tecumseh 8 h.p.) This is the old girl that introduced me to the Wheel Horse family over 25 years ago. I know she's probably the less desired tractors of Horse collectors (her crankshaft runs in the wrong direction....... Vertical) she's still used to mow grass, mom nicknamed her "ole Bessy" some years ago before she passed away in 2011, mom mowed a lot with her also, I guess Bessy introduced mom to the Wheel Horse family also.

I like the shed setup

My C-105 says "HI!" to his cousin... GREAT tractor! Cheers!

I can see the work that went into those! Very nice , I like the diamond one myself. Fantastic job, real professional

I’d sit on it. 👍

Go for it. Mix away. It won't do any harm.

Anything is possible during the "AMC" days My 76 C-160 isn't supposed to have a flip up fender but it does.

Nice pick up Mike. I like the ground shot. Bonding with your tractor.

Mixing Oil Brands, You're real rebel Sparky!

Love the answers and so true. I'd flush that tranny and add fresh of whatever brand(s), run it for a few mowings and change it again and then as long at it's stored inside you'll be good for years.

Oil is Oil!

My newly acquired 1981 C-105 that I picked up in a trade with @Chris T ... and MY first time mowing with it ( my dad already used it). Ran great and cut great! Very impressed with this 37 year old machine.

I MAY BE GOING ? RUSS

Here is a side by side of the early and late style "Nikki" Onan carb bowl gaskets. One corner makes all the difference! Also is a pic of that itty bittty teeny tiny ball and spring that can and will disappear if you are not VERY careful when cleaning the later style carbs with accelerator pumps. Tip of a ball point pen for reference. Ball is attached to the small end of spring and ball end goes in first. The long brass piece on the bowl cover has to go "inside" the spring when assembling.

I just changed the throttle cable and need to tinker a little more to get the rpm I need. The engine does not seem to rev like it should on the top end. Seems to labor a bit. Any suggestions? I need to check the governor and get the throttle adjusted to wot and then go from there. I mowed at about 2500 rpm

Holy, engine must sound like a jet at that RPM. I have never seen mine go that fast.

First off, I love this thread. Thank you for sharing your photos, explanation and more important....the time to post all of this. I just got my Kohler K series 10hp block back from the machine shop after a bore over, valve seats recut and new valve guides installed. I decided to read this post again before reassembly and after reading this thread again I thought about the valve tappets. The reason I ask is because I forgot to designate which tappet came from what valve during disassembly and now during reassembly I'm hesitant.... I measured the valve tappets with my micrometer and I have the following 2.768" and 2.756", so they are not the same length. so which one goes where? or doesn't it matter? I don't want to move any further in my rebuild until I know what to do....yes I'm a first timer at a rebuild like this....shame on me for not keeping track with the tappet to valve relationship.... Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I just went through this this week. No ID Tag on my rear discharge 42'. True Blue Belt # 248089 is what I bought and fits. I think the Wheel Horse Belt number is 106125. It is important that the idler pulley bar and spring slide and move freely.

Hope she checked the oil and gas before she left! Do you have AAA?

Well boys, this morning she walked right out to the Tractor and started it up and put the trailer on it and drove away like she thinks she owns it. And she didn't even ASK!! I believe this automatically gives me defacto proxy permission to buy another tractor.

My mistake - sorry Click on the pictures Garry

I too have used the old KT series 1 on my C-175 and love it. My property is not flat at all and she keeps doing the job. Although I do wish I had the series 2 with oil filter and pump but oh well. I would wonder now and be scared that treating your tractor correctly and new oil the old girl wont know how to act. Lol

That looks like a model 1614. 16" rear wheels, 14 HP engine with 12" fronts. Jim Dandy models have 8" fronts.

We should use this on the calendar

Nice cart collection... you've got going on there.

Hauled 2 loads of tractors over there this afternoon.Theres tons of tractors and campers already

Late check in due to just getting power/internet/phones back. We are in the Hudson Valley region. We had a few reportly tornados or microbursts. Thank God no real damage but nearby had a lot of down trees. Very thankful to turn generator off and enjoy the quiet.

Their yers... for 550 and I'll throw in the rest of the tractor I gotta git to an even number. ..this bad luck with bad hubs is killing me

Highly unlikely that trailer will return to Minnesota with an empty spot....I just know better.

Thought I had this 60 inch deck sold but I need to find it a new home....lots of spare parts as well. I got this halfway through rebuild and then I finished it. I wanted to see how well it would work under my GT14. It fit well but I don’t have the size property to mow with it. And too many shrubs etc. It is for the C195 but will fit tractors that have swept axles like the 520.... $550. Comes C195 with mule as well.

Got 3 days of lunches. All kinds of time for wheelin& dealin. Still owe Vinylguy a root beer float!

Better get him a grease colored one!

Sweet score there Dell's ! Emory's looks to be dreaming of what Horse heaven looks like . How close are the serial numbers ? If I remehmber correctly didn't @Shynon find out he has the last one off the line . This disease we all share is a good one . The cuz a I received a phone call this weekend telling us to bring $200 and come pick up a 520 H with 1100hrs . Well both of us really didn't need or have the funds for it but you can guess what happened . There's a new tractor in the herd and we even talked him down on price . Runs and mows great . It's no beauty queen but it's a no brainier picking up a 520H for that kind of money .
