I bought it just for the key. Seemed like a good excuse to build a tractor around it.

My $5 marketplace score - 6 miles from my house!

@Fj40z, You can leave the gas dampener in place and just add the clutch return spring as pictured below. Jut need to remove the left rear wheel, no need for a full disassembly.

May 16, 1984, Prince's biggest hit is widely considered to be "When Doves Cry," released on May 16, 1984 from the Purple Rain album, which became his first #1 single, the year's top-selling song, and a massive international success, famously lacking a bassline and showcasing his unique genius.

When the local hardware store closed is when I went into full blown having my own stuff. Belts bolts etc, got to have them. 13 mile trip one way now. Neighbor called last fall when he was working on his bath remodel. Got any small lags, yep, up in the shop on the back wall in the orange tray. Help yourself. He said wow! that was nice no trip to town and got it finished. He replaced the ones he took and I told him that was not necessary. He said, oh no, might have to barrow them again!

All packed up and ready to go to AJ's tomorrow!

Can we assume Kev is teaching the class?

I typed in "oil" in the search bar and my internet provider called and told me I overheated their equipment!

I guess I'm fortunate. Lowe's, Home Depot, Menards, Ace, Do It Best, Harbor Freight, and 3 auto parts places within 3 miles... but, I miss the little neighborhood hardware store that went out of business about 10 years ago...

Guys thanks for all the welcomes and fantastic input! Really do appreciate all the help and support. I couldn’t help myself this evening, even though I haven’t had a chance to baseline some of the basic maintenance on the 314 I had to try it out and mow a little bit with it this evening. Mowed and ran great until one of the rear deck wheels came off. The wheel and shoulder bolt have seen better days so I went ahead and ordered a new set. Really wanted to get a good feel for it and try it out. Kind of a shake down run. Noticed all the belts are cracked up pretty bad so all need replaced. Also noticed the clutch pedal doesn’t want to spring back up from time to time and I’d have to pull it back up with my foot a little, so I’m hoping that’s not a bad sign. Picked up the stuff to change the oil and gear oil in rear differential and transmission. Got a lot of parts to sort and hopefully get this one in good working order. Thanks again!

What did I do to my Wheel horse today this week. I added a slot hitch so I could pull and lift the new tiller. This required removing the weight rack and moving the support legs to the outside of the drawbar hitch to make room for the slot hitch. The seat and fender pan had to come off so this was a good time to clean the hydro and change oil and filter. Nice surprise when I picked up the filter...NAPAs oil was on sale. Also installed new fuel lines, e-pump, and filter rerouting everything outside the tunnel and ran it along the outside of the right frame rail.

C-105 Black Hood I purchased couple weeks ago..but the hood was all red . Little amateur painting today to fix that.

The 23x8.50 Deestones on this rig are more like 6-12 tires. That, and the addition of a rock shaft, my lift height was lacking on this cultivator. I’m not sure what correct is, but I flipped the main hitch bar and was able to get a couple inches of real estate that made a big difference. Food for thought…

We had a little hardware store that closed about 6 yr's. ago. Had everything in there. Had the wooden floors that moved as you walked. One of those ladders with rollers so it would slide along the wall to get stuff way up. The whole works!

For me he was the most talented entertainer in my life time (so far). Singer, writer, produce, could play every instrument on his songs and the best part was his concerts were equal to none and I've seen them all, from Elvis and Frank to Metallica. Least we forget he could dance backwards in 6 stilettos inch heels .

That's why we are here my friend We all love to help we all have a tumor for these tractors and can't help ourself by spending the infection to other lol You need something ask. Because there's not once been a question that wasn't vastly expressed to me in answers. I've even seen a few topics go in this direction Hey ain't ever dealt with x next thing you know John Paul and joe shmo are chiming in and resolving the issue. It's great. it's a wheel horse mob around here. Great ppl Great insight And just overall a great time if nothing else.

Think I'm gonna do the winch deal on my tractor also. I mean I have a sleeve hitch off I think was a crapsman if I remember right but the winch man endless options Your running a standard battery nothing fancy?

See me at the show Paul. We can probably fill in all the gaps in your belt collection.

Here you go, over 1,000 topics with OIL in the title, happy reading. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?q=oil&type=forums_topic&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_in=titles

How long did it take you to find out no 72" here?? I have a mess of belts like that from my Dad...never the one I need.

@ebinmaine Impressive that you returned to it. I would have been at the auto shop long ago.

I’ve seen this stool in several posted pictures. I have one, as well, Craftsman branded. So now I’m curious...who all has one of these?

Had one lasted a couple years. I am pretty hard on them rolling through grinding dust and a slightly rough floor. I ended up building one with square tube and steel casters and a tractor seat.

Just be careful with them. I had a couple but they were so old the plastic got brittle and crumbled off. Hope I didn't just jinx ya ...

Here in our Herd every machine is older than you have so my familiarity is limited compared to other guys. That clutch issue may be a worn out gas cylinder. I believe you can simply replace it with the older style spring. Toro number is 108035. Shop carefully for those. The price varies a LOT. Another maintenance item you'll need to consider is the fuel system. Ethanol fuel is not friendly to older rubber. Your tank valve, its grommet, and all your fuel line is almost definitely dried out. Again all parts are available from good sources.

If you can, slide the center bar further forward so that there is less sticking out the back. This will cause the tines to be lifted further in the air.

I'm trying to think of the best reply and the things that come to mind: Some things never get old! These tractors are still running and the information is still relevant, no? Thanks for noticing! The day is still young. Does the Lazarus award entitle me to anything? best,

Finally had the V61s mounted for the C120 and the AGs mounted for the 10-8

I like @JoeM 's JEEP as good.

Looks great @Sparky!!! Tell your C-105 that her Michigan cousin says "Nice new coat! And Cheers"!!! Love the Black Hoods!!!

Did you mark the unmarked belts to make your next search go quicker?

I spent almost an hour sorting through them ...many unmarked....

Just picked up this wheelhorse 212 6 what size deck belt do I need for it

That stool is sold by about 200 different companies. Probably made by the same lady in Chang ho. I have that stool. I also have a doctor's stool pilfered when he was washing his hands and a parts counter stool I got at a flea market Pro tip: Replace the casters with slightly larger ones with studs long enough to use a lock nut. Same with the creepers. Those acorn nuts loosen and the casters will fall off with you on it!

@Duddy should be a very basic set up , the screw on trundle position is showing you the issue , usually at least a couple of inches forward of its setting , looks like a ty[ical combination of issues , starting with lever start engagement . maybe your clutch is wiped out , wrong belt , would also not be surprised if some related bearings are cooked , lubrication failure . often refer to the wheel horse pto set up as a gold mine for improvements . very simple set up , its the next stage , HAND OFF , that usually shows itself . seen a lot of those , pete

Ohh crap I'm that guy Pm me and we can take this down. Idk why I didn't just ask you anyways lol

I miss the dollar menu. Favorite item - the "Mc Belt Buster." One cheese burger, one Mc Chicken. Put them together & eat as one samich. Full belly for $2.10.

And a cardiologist opened up next door...

That appears to be a 1960 Suburban give or take... the first "Wheel Horse" was made in 1956. Pics of engine installation / sides & back would be helpful. Also---all 4 wheels and tires are wrong for originality. Be prepared for much lower offers.... Tony

Lots of progress over the last couple days. Got the replacement motor installed in the C175. Runs like a top. Replaced the leaking axle seal on the GT1800 and finally installed its new shoes that I’ve had settling for 2 years.

My daughter has very little interest in my tractors. She like to drive them once in a while, but that's it. That being said, she really likes my black hood project. She talks about it every time she walks through the garage.

Not mine but a customer's. Sharpen blades & change oil & check over kind of thing. Repair a busted coil bracket. Real nice '82 C-105 all original. So nice his one may not leave the ranch. The mafia may have to make an offer he can't refuse... First step was a bath.

Thanks for the manuals. Pretty sure I got the recoil fixed🤞

Some work on new steel box for WH trailer (dump trailer). Undercarriage needed some work,but that is the base for new "dump box" , aside original platform for hauling wood (2 in 1). Materials: old 2 wheel wheelbarrow, old bed frame, scrap metal and some new metal pieces. Fit for wooden pallet 120x80 cm. My original modified patform for hauling wood, hay, grass,branches etc

Needed to remove an old pool sand filter today and this was the logical scenario I could think of to get it moved around.

That is my motto a lot. If it's already broke, what have you got to lose ? If you fix it, fine, if not it was broken anyways.

Yes I do and be happy to sell it. Better yet trade ya even up for the deflector style if you have one. Will PM you some pics. Should be easy to set up so my guess is something else is not right. I see no arm to carb link so that may be your problem. Start a thread on it and we can help you out.

Made quite a bit of progress on the 16 auto hydro swap but I've gotten slow in my old age...hopefully it's by choice
