6 pointsI've been talking to the owner of this wheelhorse for about 3 weeks in an attempt to reach a good agreement for both of us. Well, this morning, he called and said, Come and get it. So, I did. The wife and I went for a 3 hour ride, to and from. The new to me C120 horse is home.

4 pointsFirst, I want to thank all of you guys for the Birthday wishes. You all made my day, and I am truly humbled. I may have a few Navy pictures floating around, but I will have to scan them...I was much thinner then for sure. The pictures some of you have added are full of great memories...thanks for that. It was a Rock & Rye day, and I will tell you this...you can't put 69 candles on a burrito (my favorite easy meal). Thanks again guys...this place is special.

3 points@casperhorse to The safety switch "bypass" deal was discussed a week ago and it has been determined that no-one on this forum would pass out information on how to "bypass" safety switches. They are there for a reason.

3 pointsToo wet to mow still very humid and the mosquitoes are terrible so working in the shop with the AC on. Pulling the engine on a C-175 as she had an oil leak. i do not mind seeps and drips but this one was a bit much and it was the drain. The elbow cannot make a complete turn as the isolation mount is in the way. So will fix that and do away with the shaker mount. Got a 417/8 mojnting plate form AtoZ. Did this to another C175. Cheaper than buying new rubber mounts or coming up with some other substitute.

3 pointsi just installed a FACET # 60304 pump from AIRCRAFT SPRUCE (they have the best prices - $36.) on my Case 4016 Onan engine. It only has a max PSI of 2 lbs, so no regulator or return lines necessary. I also ordered a $5. FACET filter that screws into the inlet port of the pump, which makes for a nice clean installation. Works GREAT! Even though the system was completely 'dry' after installing the pump and all new gas lines, it started right up. Don't forget to include a 3 amp fuse to protect the pump

3 pointsThat model uses a Ross steering box - unless you want to break it, do not use a hammer on the shaft - it can shatter either the worm gear or the housing. You'll need to use a bearing splitter and beam puller, if you don't have one most auto parts stores will loan them for free as long as it's returned in one piece. If you work on things like this, or gears, transmissions and the like - a bearing splitter kit is a great investment. I use the OTC kit like this and it works on nearly anything - including those pesky rear hubs. https://www.otctools.com/products/7-ton-bar-type-pullerbearing-separator-puller-set Sarge

2 pointsPicked this tractor up at auction yesterday. It has a Kohler motor and it is pretty much all there. Just wondering what it's worth and what year it is. Model is 1-4831 and serial # 395060 New to this site thanks.

2 pointsI did not need this at all but it was just up the road and cheap. Runs really well and deck is in excellent condition rust wise. Bearings are a little loud but I have already pulled the spindles for rebuild. I will take them into work tomorrow and disassemble and bead blast them. Blower was hard to turn but I lubed the chain and it now turns easy. I will install a new chain. Sprockets all look good. Tractor runs good, all indicator lights work, hydro works good. Steering is loose but I will fix that up. Tires seem to hold air but time will tell. This is an ugly duckling but should clean up nice. Cleat

2 pointsupdate: first, let me say thank you to all you guys who have responded via the forum or pm'ing me. i have at least 2 good candidates myself. the problem is the shipping fees. wisconsin is about 1000 miles from me. i just got a tractor this year from another red square member. he was 500 miles from me and the uship fee was $537. i'd rather spend the money on a very good to excellent condition or recently refurbished tractor for her. i'm thinking $1000-1500. range. i would also be willing to work with someone kind of local who has the time and talent to refurbish one for her. thank you mike in mass.

2 pointsOr a cheap reliable stock vacuum style pump from eBay or Amazon...

2 pointsI've had people say they will come on a certain day, and then never show because they changed their mind. So I'm always fair, and tell people that the first one to show up with cash is the buyer. I figure it's best to be honest rather than just not respond to callers. I also try to get their phone numbers. I live in a remote location, so no shows are common. Jim

2 pointsAlso, I see you're fairly new here. Welcome to redsquare! That little 8 horse Kohler is arguably one of the best engines ever made by anybody anywhere. Pound-for-pound it's hard to beat the torque that those things put out for the size that they are. They also use very very little fuel. It's a great little tractor that you could keep and run and work and be very happy with it.

2 pointsM/N 1-4831 is a 1968 Commando 8 4 speed with a Kohler K-181S-30108D engine. One tough little tractor with the great 7 slot grill. Here's mine.

2 pointsNice tractor you have there. Be very careful, these things tend to multiply like rabbits. Which is why many of us are here trying to deal with these situations ππππ

2 pointsHaha that is a great idea! I just put some smoke bombs in the tunnels though.

2 pointsThe last 3 decks I have torn down have been a pleasure in that the pulleys just slid off after the nut was removed (including these 3). I have had to resort to heat and/ or cutting on other decks however. If I need to heat, I use either MAPP gas or acetylene, Propane will not be hot enough. Wrap an old belt around the pulley and clamp vice grips on the belt to form a strap. If you heat the pulley too much and melt the belt it does not matter because it was and old belt anyways. Heat the center of the pulley until it starts to get a little red then grab the vice grips on the belt on the pulley and also reach under and grab the blade (keep blades on until you are done this). If the heating was successful, the pulley should begin to turn on the shaft. Continue to turn and pull until pulley comes off. Upper bearing will likely be no good at this point but everything else should be. Cleat
