I got it running! 1967 WH 1277 with a Kohler M301S. I bought it three weeks ago not running. I was told it hadn’t run in several years. Thanx to you guys! I changed spark plug, ignition switch, battery, gas tank valve, added gas and a battery cable. I cleaned outside carburetor and engine. I can’t get muffler and pipes loosen and I still haven’t driven it around. I have never worked on any engines before.

Oils today are much better than oils back in the late 50's and 60's. The secret is to change oil frequently and check the level often and then it shouldn't matter what you use.

We've all had one, and rap the bowl with a screwdriver handle or whatever hoping it works. I came across this tip in the Techumseh Service Manual for my snowblower and I'm sure it would work with any float bowl that has the detent for the float hinge. It's a real simple tip. The detent in the bowl will bump the float, possibly fixing the stuck condition.

I've had an absolute riot on this 654, and although she's in real rough shape and every moving part is shot, I just don't feel right hammering down on a good round hood anymore, so it's time to build another, less desirable chassis, then swap the engine, pulleys and tires over. There's a B-100 chassis in the parts stash, and an 8 speed out of some 'mystery' Horse, which I yanked and split the cases on last night. Perfect candidate for a beater, as it's all there but pretty grungy. Unfortunately it's a 1" axle, 4 pinion setup. I understand the 4 pinion diffs arent the beefiest, but this one will be locked for trail use. How do you all feel about the 1" axles, especially being in a locked situation? Think it'd hold up, or do I need to abandon ship and find one with 1 1/8" axles to start?

Here we go again

I'm happy to report that my 701 runs much better after rebuilding the carb. I also discovered that the sediment bowl was plugged tighter than ( add your own analogy here ). Some may have decided to get rid of it but I decided to keep it for sedimental reasons. That and I had a kit laying around to rebuild it. New screen, bowl gasket & packing for the valve. I also added an in line filter for good measure. Engine now purrs like a kitten.

I may be counting my chickens before they hatch here, but here goes. It had to be done. A few folks here know I'm looking for a deck for my 310. I can repair the one I have, but it's going to be a lot of sheetmetal work. Cue @Bill D I'd like to recommend he be bequeathed the title of, "Red Square Official Craigslist Finder and Forwarder From Now Into Perpetuity" Seriously though, Big Bill sent me an email this morning telling me about a deck that had just been posted. I check almost every day, but hadn't yet this morning. Bill made sure I new about it. I'm first in line for a very good looking 42 SD for $50.... Yes $50! And the seller also has a non-running 312-8 and snow plow for $50 and $75. Either way, thanks Bill, really. If I score this deck, even if it's just solid sheetmetal, it's a complete home run,. and only 35 minutes away from me. Thank you good sir!

And this is how you see in the dark to bolt it down!

@PeacemakerJack happy birthday Bro! Thanks for sharing this ammo with me earlier! And again, those cabinets are tough! You’ve got a good builder!

Ding Ding Ding Steve is the winner which is appropriate as the tractor's name is Steve the woodruff key was sheared off on the cluster gear shaft as u can see in the pictures.I added a few pics of some of my other toys . The 69 Charger came with a Electro the tires were all flat with some off the rims don't know if the guy gave it a new name or the letters just got worn off eel hor is what I call it. I saved the 16 automatic from the scrap yard someone just dropped if off it's a nice tractor the sheet metal is all straight. It had been sitting for a long time the carb bowel had a hole in it also the exhaust valve was burnt. I ground the valve by putting in my drill press and ground it down with a piece of sand paper stapled to a block of wood even surprised me when I lapped it in very nice mark in the center of the face. Thanks for all the replies

Trina had some good ideas. You as well, but it wasn't in any of those places. As far as Murphy goes I threw him out of the garage long time ago. Never to come back. Very troublesome. It just so happened when sealing the tank I had the cap in my shirt pocket. I apparently went somewhere afterwards and placed the cap in the pocket of the door in my truck.

Hi. Dave When I opened the transaxle up I was expecting to see some broken pieces or shavings everything was clean no pieces. That's what is so baffling. I took the differential apart also once again no damage. Maybe my Xwife put the wammy on me

So, you goin' 'bit to fast there' youngin'... Howse 'bout you slow down 'n use them fingers 'n toes to do some countin' dem silbals... Haiku Police gonna give you a break, seeing' how you puts up with all the 's on this site... and your Haiku dealt with such meaty issues...

Happy Birthday Josh !!!!! May a palm reader see a long furrow line for your future.

I made this video a few years ago. There's really no point to it, I was just taking a chunk of cast iron and cleaning it up for fun. And no, I'm not a machinist. I'm just lucky enough to know a few who have helped me enough to make me a danger to myself and more importantly a danger to my metal stock. Tools used: 1936 F.E. Reed and Company 9" engine lathe. I love her so, this old girl!

Half an hour away from our storage garage; literally a barn find ! Needs some love, missing a few things, some incorrect parts, but there's good bones here. Same owners for over 50 yrs.

I was just goin' to bed, now I gotta stay up and chant? Really? This site is starting' to get a bit consumin'...

Travel light Kev... you know I got camper gennys and such I have never even seen. I'm hooked to shore power here. Gonna be honest with ya here tho buddy I think hauling on tractors on a top a flat top like that is assnine. Just too much of a PIA to load tie down, unload enjoy, then load tie down etc ect. 'Course that's coming from 60 + yo dude that abused his body when he was your age and is paying for it now! Everybody chant with me ...toy hauler toy hauler.

No doubt I am the oldest Hydro owner on the list of people you called on. For me the side of the tower with up is up and down is down seems best. probably add a couple of 90s to the hoses that come off the face of the controle. Older hydro owners... I need some advice

A quick update on the day: for once...I just decided not to work today! I am usually up to my eyeballs in a big projects in October...this year I have several small ones. So...it has been a family/tractor day. first worked on getting Judge’s 100 running for plow day. The regulator bracket broke this summer and fried several items. Got that running! Zach was a great helper with that! Then we lined up a few tractors for a birthday ride and then a game of tag! Here is my favorite “small” people in the whole world...I am truly blessed! Then I did a little polishing on the hitch that Kevin made for me last year. This year it will hit the furrows at Jim’s... Now we are cooking steak & eggs for supper along with seasoned breakfast potatoes... thank you so much guys for your friendship—those of you that I have met and those I have YET (someday maybe along the trail we can change that) to meet! You guys add a lot of flavor to my life and I appreciate you all👍🏻

My C145 has the control mounted on the center counsel of the tractor. This spot is OK but when you are running a snow plow it would be nice to have 3 hands. Speed/direction control and blade angle takes up your right hand, steering wheel in your left hand unless you want to raise or lower the plow. After some time I did get the hang of it though My favorite is where I put the control on my Raider 12. I can raise or lower using my left hand without taking it off of the steering wheel.

Exactly. Although I did immediately go to the garage and put it on the tank. The test drive IS ON

Happy birthday! It feels weird wishing someone a happy birthday I've never met, but hopefully that will change in the next few days. I can honestly say if your personality in real life is anything like your personality on here, well then I'm in for a real treat. Your rolling dirt thread and your YouTube videos have inspired me to build my own plow mule and drive it (in the bed of my truck) 800 miles to America's Dairyland and turn some sod. Secondly and most importantly, your love for the Lord and family makes me want to be a better man. It would be a dream come true for my sons and future kids to share my GT hobby with me. I guess that's it for now... Happy birthday 🙈🙈🙈

found great recipe for straps will pass it along involves salsa bacon pork sausage Haiku police after me ...

Hello everyone. New to the group and bought my first wheel horse about a week ago. 520Lxi. Has liquid cooled Kawasaki with 219 hours. As I'm a newbie had a couple questions. One thing I'm seeing that I didn't notice at first is that when looking sideways into muffler shroud I can see that the muffler is getting red hot. Was wondering if I'm running lean or is this how they normally run.There is a slight stumble at full throttle after it warms up. Old plugs were a light brown and both looked the same. At least they weren't white. It's my understanding that previous owner replaced carb. Maybe it's not adjusted right, not sure at this point. He was a really old guy. Apparently rather than replacing a bad part on old carb he just got a new one. So far I've drained tank and new gas and added a little sea foam. Replaced plugs, changed engine and transmission oil. Another question I have is about coolant. Operators manual says to use permanent ethylene glycol mix. Replacing coolant is not listed on maintenance schedule. I thought I'd replace all fluids since I really don't know much about the history of machine. Do people still use glycol or are they putting in anti freeze. Also looks like my left axle seal may be leaking. Nothing on the floor after about a week, Just an oily film. Was just a little low on fluid when I got it but may not have been checked for many years. Not too concerned about it for the time being. I absolutely love this machine as it came with snowblower attachment and cab. I'm planning on using it to clear snow this winter, but just want to make sure it's running correctly. Also wondering if there's anything else I should be looking for or concerned about. Any input from the group would be greatly appreciated.

TOY HAULER TOY HAULER! Soon, Uncle Jim...

If I were to do the fender mount. I would mount the valve on a bracket under the fenders and cut a neat & clean hole in the fender for the handle to stick through. This would still allow you to flip the fenders back to gain access to the tool box & check tranny fluids.

Just in case you hadn't figured it out that's my favorite way to do things.

EB I might have an original valve with newer hoses that mounted on the left side of the tower. I can look tomorrow. Probably just trade you if it will work for you?? I can look and take a few pics.

I assume it is now in progress and the report will be posted before I go to bed in 3hrs time.?

Who's been money laundering.

If you have a damper at the drive belt idler pulley it may need adjusting if it is the air shock. It can prevent the belt from getting the tension it requires. Back it away from the idler. If it is a gas shock remove it as long as you have a return spring on the left side at the rear of the clutch pedal rod. I was wrong. 1988 was the first year for the damper. Garry

I was going to give it a drink to see if it would loosen up

Me thinks I would get that dash tower (hood stand ) welded up before the snow flies!

Good eye! Nothin’ gets by this crowd...

It's alive!!! Seems like I'll need to pull the carb again, there must be a piece of fly $hit I missed as she's surging without half choke. If that's not the case then a governor adjustment might be needed. Either way, she runs and sounds strong fo

Get her a hydro!!!
