Hi Guys, lately I’ve been playing a Computer game called Farm Simulator 25. There is a large community of people who make additions for the game. I play when I have free time or if the weather is too crappy to work on my full sized tractors. Recently with the assistance of Chat GPT, I’ve been learning how to use the 3D modeling program Blender. Now I can make additions for my game. One I’m working on now is a 308/312/C-85/C-141 group of tractors. Chat GPT also comes in when handling the technical side of converting the Blender files to work in my game. It handles the technical stuff and I’m the tester/R and D person/modeller in the equation. Here’s some pic’s.

November 13, 1982, Near the end of a weeklong national salute to Americans who served in the Vietnam War, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is dedicated in Washington, D.C. after a march to its site by thousands of veterans of the conflict. The long-awaited memorial was a simple V-shaped black-granite wall inscribed with the names of the 57,939 Americans who died in the conflict, arranged in order of death, not rank, as was common in other memorials.

If virtual Wheel Horses are anything like actual Wheel Horses, you might want to go ahead and purchase more storage.

I used to have a virtual Wheel Horse, But it ransomware!

How much virtual snow will it move?

And it uses virtually ethanol free gas???

Love the 520-H. Beast of a tractor and the most comfortable of all my WH's. Good luck Don. My better half having Winter fun back around 2009 with a big smile and NO CAB. She's a tough one. Tom Boy

I told my wife I wasn’t going to buy any more WH’s until I got the 420 LSE finished. It wasn’t 30 minutes later that I saw this 520 on MP. Floated the guy an offer. Next he’s asking when can he deliver it… Now to figure out if the Onan is any good. It’s not locked up. He said he bought it for the muffler and a hydraulic hose. The previous owner said it had a wiring issue and just stopped.

All kidding aside, the proportions look right. Does Terry @Vinylguy make virtual decals??

You WILL need to know the bore size before ordering a piston & a set of rings... Standard bore, .010 over, etc. If you plan to have the cylinder bored oversize, the Machine Shop needs those parts BEFORE they start... let THEM measure the bore to determine the correct size....

The Spec number, 30108D is the most important information when looking for a crankshaft. We have a couple of venders here that you should start with. K&B Horse Parts @76c12091520h may have some NOS parts for the engine. A to Z https://a-ztractor.com/ will have used parts and may have NOS too. He sells on eBay but if you don't see what you are looking for give him a call.

Saw our resident big boy on our walk... oh well, no shoot in' in the hood...

DOT has been wondering who is removing rusty old sign posts and what the heck they were doing with them. Now we know, they become tractor frames.

I missed post #4 about the fuel pump. Your starter and electrical system will thank you if you decide to go with an electric fuel pump. One of my 520,s had the original fuel pump on it when I got it and it seemed to be a healthy one, would squirt fuel across shop, of course it took quite a few revolutions of the engine to get fuel system primed back up if it sat for any length of time. After installing electric fuel pump all I have to do is turn key on, let pump run for a second or two, and almost an instant start. I prefer the old mechanical pumps on the older WH's just for sake of being original but the electric fuel pumps are a much better fit for anything with the fuel tank below the carb and you dont have to worry about the diaphragm of a mechanical leaking fuel into the crankcase. Here is a couple pics of the one I installed on my 520.

What did the gunslinging cowboy say to the pencil? Draw!

For the price of a fuel pump repair kit you could buy an electric fuel pump and never have to worry about gasoline contaminating your engine oil.

Why are fish so smart? They live in schools!

Stephen is a great person and as said was a very early member on this forum. My family will be praying for him and his family. @nylyon- if you are in contact with him, please let him know there are people all over praying for him!

There is a set screw you can see in the 3rd picture. It has a locknut (7/16) on an Allen Head dog point set screw. Need a 1/8" set screw wrench to tighten. If you loosen the set crew, you can pull out the shifter and check it to see if it is OK. We have a thread around here some where that shows how it all works. I'll try to find it for you. Here ya go.

This was our first Wheel Horse, bought about 12 years ago. I love this tractor and am feeling pretty proud of how it looks. 1987 312-A, as far as I know, all original. I have a 42" SD Deck to restore to put on it, mule has already been repainted. All done with Rustoleum Regal Red rattle cans. I've been working on this a little at a time for about 2 months. Not as nice as I had hoped for, but I don't have the time to invest in all the paint stripping and glazing to make it all perfectly smooth. Tried some clear coat on top on the fender, and it bubbled so I gave up on that. Maybe I'll give it some wax to make it shinier. The hubcaps had some rust that I mostly got rid of. I still need to do some detailing on the tower tins and engine tins, but am not going to try to repaint those completely. Many thanks to @Vinylguy for the decals!

That is not the correct ignition condenser for a K-321. The Kohler 230722 Condenser fits all battery ignition single cylinder and twin cylinder from the K-90 to the K-582. It has a battery ignition system and uses a 200 to 500 nF condenser. Any automotive condenser from an engine with points will do. The unit of measure for a condenser is the Farad, and our small engines use a condenser that is in the nanofarad range (ten to the minus ninth power Farads) which is based on the voltage range they work in. A battery ignition system uses a 200 to 500 nF condenser. The lower end of the spectrum is preferable as too high a rating will allow more flow resulting in coil overheating. Do not use a condenser intended for a magneto ignition because its rating is too low and will result in burned ignition point contacts. Most automotive points condensers will be fine. I have used the 1960s Ford condenser ( 250 to 280 nF) because I had a few on the shelf. If you look up automotive condensers on line you should be able to find the capacitance rating. Armed with this information you can walk into your auto parts store and get a very confused look on the face of the person on the other side of the counter. The capacitance is not listed on the package and probably not in their store computer for have they have for condensers they stock.

I have a crank. It may or may not need turning. You would need to get it checked. PM me if interested.

Here is an original parts list if you need it

I’m in the process of working/restoring one too! So far I don’t plan on using any attachments and I’ve removed its outer pulley and I’m putting this cover (can) over the PTO. It will be painted red soon!

Now that Don and Steve have your shifter problem solved please tell us a bit about your and yourself. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/47-introductions/

That would be a wall hanger. WTG

Just noticed your custom circumcision device...! Man you go all out for your herd...

Next one is in production... Very rare twin cylinder Solomon ski racing binding engine... with Detroit Edison telephone pole bolt steering column and Johnson outboard motor trim adjuster hood supports...

When done getting the shifter back in order, be sure to have a good shifter boot back in place. Essential for keeping the innards free of junk and water.

Dear Lord, your servant Stephen Jones, affectionately known as “Rollerman,” will begin clinical trials for cancer treatments. Please guide the medical decisions made on his behalf and should it become necessary, allow the surgeon's hands to be steady and effective to do the task at hand, and not create any further damage. We pray against any infection or complications. Calm the heart of his family. Lord, please allow this temporary trial to bring an end to Stephen’s battel with cancer and help speed the needed approvals to allow others to benefit from this treatment in the future. When he has infusions, please let the side effects be minimal. Work a miracle in this whole situation and bless it from beginning to end. Thank you, Lord, we praise you as we know we are in good hands- the very hands of God. In Jesus name, we thank you for each day. Amen.

Hey guys. I have a wheel horse workhorse 700 and the shifter is loose can almost pull it out It’s not shifting into gears. Does anyone know what I have to do to replace it or repair it?

Yep, it's Friday the 13th. I drank my coffee. Heading for my Silver Sneakers gym class. My gym partner is still in PT with her new knee. It's 36 degrees with 15-20 NE wind this AM. I'm feeling glad I'm tagged out and won't be sitting in a tree this AM.

I’m too frugal to replace parts until I’m sure they’re kaput. Yes, it is possible for a leaking fuel pump diaphragm to introduce fuel into the crankcase. Caught early, the likelihood of damage is slight. A replacement diaphragm or pump is not a difficult repair. Oil change and new filter? Absolutely Voltage regulators do fail but preemptive replacement? Not something I’d do. Aftermarket carbs are available for the P220, but by the time you’ve removed the carb you’re most of the way toward a thorough cleaning. Unless there is internal corrosion or evidence of other irreparable damage, a cleaning with a standard rebuild kit install would be my starting point. Plenty of posts here cover being thorough, including getting under and replacing the Welch plug. Coil? if you have spark now, no. Plugs. Sure if it’l make you happy. Plug wires? If there is any sign they are not doing the job then yes. Transaxle oil change and filter? Probably unless you know oil is in good shape and proper filter is less then 50 hours old.

Like he said - never mind.

That's awesome buck, Kevin
