6 pointsI recently bought his little wheelhorse tractor off of a guy and he didn't have a clue about what model it is. I've been staring at and comparing pictures online for several days and I've not concluded exactly which model it is. The model tag is gone off of it but the serial number is 46567. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
-
6 pointsI disagree. It's a 63 model. The 604/654/704 used the full hood that covered the fuel tank, and the 854 used the black/chrome dash decal. Making it a 633/653/753 depending on the original engine. Serial numbers won't help you, They're not published anywhere.

4 pointsHi everybody, I'm new to the site and new to wheel horse's in general. I recently moved and needed a lawn tractor as well as for snow removal. I ran across a c161 twin Speed on craigslist. The tractor is in excellent condition as a restoration took place approximately 5 years ago. The tractor had sat for a couple years when I went to check it out. Tractor was starving for fuel. (used to be a small engine technician). That didn't bother me. I paid $950 for the tractor, which included the mower deck and a single stage snowblower. I later have found out that the c161 was a bit more rare and parts can be tougher to find. $100 in parts and a couple hours of my time that tractor runs great. Just curious if I over paid for the tractor and is it something i should be nervous about as far as parts. Thanks Guys, Mike

4 pointsNice looking tractor, the only thing that makes it more on the rarer side is the motor and the hood. Everything else is pretty much standard. Don't be surprised if the back fenders break on more or less go all to prices on you. Very common for that style. Very easily replaced with the standard metal fender seat pan. Some parts are still available new from Toro at astronomical prices, but most can be found on eBay or right here on Red Square or swap meet/tractor shows. As far as to what you paid. Your close to the top end. There again try and buy something of that quality new. You did alright and if taken care of will more than give you your money's worth.

3 points10 ft piece of chain is about $20 at TSC and usually comes with one master link. Just buy another separate master link or two so you can use the leftover chain as a spare or for something else. To break the chain, I just grind off one side of both rivet heads and use a small punch and hammer to drive the link out.

3 pointsI would leave the old pump bolted to the block and just bypass it. You can always remove the old pump and install a cover plate later after it gets warm out if you wish.
-
3 pointsYou done good. If you had gone to a Big Box Store and paid that amount you would have come out with a small piece of junk riding mower and a snow shovel!

3 pointsYou definitely are THE wood stove man Lowell. Free heat and hot water without the smoke, dirt, ashes, bugs, and danger of fire. Gotta luv that well engineered wood transporter with the opposite corner supports for easy loading.
-
2 pointsVery interesting question Bob. I've never had the need to take one of these apart either. I do have one that is acting kind of funny so if there is no answer from anyone with knowledge of this, I'm willing to have at it to find out the answers and document the experiment.
-
2 pointsthanks. it looks great and it is in the shop geting warmed to get its decals put on.

2 pointsI originally called it a 1963 like Jason is saying, but when I was looking at the serial numbers that Garry has listed in the "Manuals" section the 46567 lined up with the 854. It's got the star wheel for adjusting the lift lever so it is either a 63 or 64. More and better pictures would help. Something does not look right with that belt guard or the engine. I don't see an indent square in the guard...both the 1963 and 1964 appears to have that. Could be the picture, I think it has a different guard and the horse has been repainted. Nice looking round hood though. I have to look at the dash plaque thingy...Jason is pretty sharp. Edit to say I just looked at the 854 dash plates...it is a 1963 above...like Jason said.
-
2 pointsThanks everyone for the help. I'll take the advice, and just bypass the old pump for now. Good idea to just turn the outlet hose back on itself to the inlet. I just ordered the cover for the hole in the block, but it won't be going on until springtime. If I take all of the covers off of the engine now to get to the pump, it will surely cause a snow storm, and I won't have a working snow thrower to handle it. Happy Thanksgiving, Jim

2 pointsIme just going to use tractor paint and petrol like I did when Ian (stigion) and I built project horse gut

2 pointsIf it helps...serial # on this 653 is 38885. Click, then scroll down to see Gary's collection of '63 #'s here...

2 pointsO.k., I finally got the new sprocket welded on the auger. When I put the bearings in. They won't spin freely. I also cleaned the auger openings with mesh cloth. Is this normal. Model 0642ST07 bearing # 1630 2RS I found the problem guys!!
-
2 pointsYeah , that is what I did -just leave it but block the ports ..no vacuum leak that way...

2 pointsAnyone remember these? For sale on ebay for $499. I must have destroyed $10,000 dollars worth of these when I turned them into ash trays by tapping the top of the cone with a ball peen hammer till the cone was inverted down into the can.

2 pointsHmmm...Looks like brake fluid, smells like brake fluid, tastes like brake fluid ????????????

2 pointsI've been out a few times this gun season, I lost my "spot" that I was given permission to hunt the last few years and I found out 2 hours before dark on the 14th. (Gun season opens the 15th in MI) I made a couple calls and landed a nice blind with a lot of deer tracks surrounding. I've only seen squirrels and birds the last week and 200 lbs total of corn, apples, sugar beets and carrots have disappeared. I laid down some minerals in the ground and have a lot of tracks through there too, but still haven't seen a single deer. Warm windy days and full bright moons are helping with that I suppose. I haven't been able to stay out past 3 pm though, so Friday after cutting wood I think I'll have time to sit until dark and hope for the best!

2 pointsI was in the eighth grade in class (oddly enough, in history class I believe) at East School in Gas City , IN. The principal made the announcement on the intercom. We were then told to go to our combined 7th & 8th grade study hall. I think the administration was struggling with what they were going to do with us or say to us. A short time later we were all released to go home. Hardly a word was spoken from the time the announcement was made to the time we were dismissed. Everyone was in total, stunned, shock. I had turned 15 just the day before. The reality of life smacked us innocents in the face that day. I can remember Cronkite's reaction to it almost brought a seasoned hard nosed journalist/broadcaster to tears on national television. We almost encountered the same situation less than 20 years later when President Reagan was shot by John Hinckley.
-
2 pointsI agree with Glenn. Some folks prefer to get something inexpensive and then pour money and lots of time into it. You paid basically 1050 total, and the snowblower if in similar shape is good for ~ 200. ~ 800 for a well running recentish refresh/restore is not smoking good deal but not too bad. The tractor parts that differ from most of that era are primarily the engine, hood and headlight lens. I have a Twin Briggs Hydro C-161 and really like the engine. Although Kohlers are the mainstream. Enjoy your tractor!

2 pointsI was at Ross Elementary School (Gary, Indiana) in the sixith grade. The secretary of the school came into the classroom and told our teacher something. He indicated that the President had been shot and taken to the hospital in Dallas, Texas. We wer all taken to the school cafeteria which had to large black and white televisions on wheeled metal stands. When we started watching the TV's were on NBC I recall. They were turned to CBS and that is when Walter Cronkhite announced that he had died at Parkland Hospital. School was not released early. We stayed in the cafeteria watching until 3:30 . I lived a block from the school and walked home where we kept the TV on through the funeral on Monday.

2 pointsI have an idea, part it out, keep the engine and tires since they will work on a .

2 pointsDepends on the temperature of course but if it's below 20° out twice a day and above 20° once a day and if I'm just heating the water in the summertime about once every 5 to 6 days

1 pointYour first rodeo? When I can match belts at my Toro dealer or auto parts stores. When Im upstate I've actually braided rope just to get a Tractor into the garage. Given that time is on your side look online.

1 pointSome ARK manuals specify 10W30 or 10W40 heavy duty motor oil and some, including the manual with my loader, specify hydraulic fluid. I did contact the company that acquired the ARK business to inquire about the pumps they used and they said there is no one left who can provide any helpful information. I did see a reference to using Cessna pumps in the Wheel Horse literature on their loaders. It appears that Cessna pumps are still available. I am hoping my problem is the mechanical PTO adjustment on my D-200 since I never checked it since getting the tractor. My D-160 has an electric PTO that does not need adjustment. I will be reinstalling the spool valve and will check the PTO adjustment this weekend.
-
1 pointNice score for certain! Just wondering if new stickers will look right on that machine the way it sits, (they might stand out...alot). You're tractor though, and I respect that. Good luck with it either way, and have fun with it.

1 pointWhat a surprise! I received an honor due to this restore. The Tractor Data website decided to use my images of this restore as the example tractor. Pretty cool, indeed. http://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors/000/4/7/478-wheel-horse-10hp-photos.html
