7 pointsMarch 2, 1966, in Dearborn, Michigan, the Ford Motor Company celebrates the production of its 1 millionth Mustang, a white convertible. The sporty, affordable vehicle was officially launched two years earlier, on April 17, 1964, at the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York. That same day, the new car debuted in Ford showrooms across America; almost immediately, buyers snapped up nearly 22,000 of them. More than 400,000 Mustangs were sold within that first year, exceeding sales expectations.

5 pointsThere are some very small passages in the carburetor that need to be cleaned for proper operation. Since the engine runs reasonably well you could try a heavy dose of Seafoam or Berryman B12 gas treatment to see if they will help clean these passages. Be sure to use gas that has no ethanol in it, use this website to find a local source. https://www.pure-gas.org/

3 pointsI replaced a bunch of upper ball joints on the trio - the Falcon, Mustang and Fairlanes. On a side note - my son bought a 35th Aniversary model - nothing but annoying issues with it. We called it the "Mustake"
-
3 pointsBreakerless ignition does not use points or condenser. It is pretty much a binary system..it works great or not at all. You might test the coil when it is hot. You could check the air gap but I doubt that is an issue. also put a spark plug tester on it...does the spark stay strong when it is acting up?
-
3 pointsYep, a Falcon with a pretty face..... Just about all 6 cylinder drivetrain & suspension parts are derived from its more utilitarian cousin.
-
3 pointsGot some new tires that I thought would be a good reference here. Armstrong "Big Bite" 16x8.50-8. 4 ply rated. Actual measurements are dead on 16 inches tall, 8 and 3/8 wide. First pic is one next to a 7.50 wide tire, next beside the old Firestone 6.50 tri ribs. Mounted on 8x7 wheels.
-
3 pointsYes it's a Wheel Horse plow but for a later walk behind tractor 1954-56. They used 8 inch plow made by Brinly . Early 1953 and earlier model's used a 7 inch plow. You can tell it's for a Walk behind tractor because of the long slot hitch tongue even though they didn't have a true slt hitch like the 4 wheel tractors. The Rj 35 on up used a shorter tongue
-
2 pointsYes it is easy to do. The hole is already in the block for the points push rod If it is a problem with your breakerless coil I have one you can have.
-
2 pointsFollowing up on my post yesterday. Found the umbrella. Really nice condition. Don’t believe I ever opened it before. From the mid 1980’s, a gift from Wheelhorse. My office was in their HQ but I worked for the finance company who floorplanned all their dealers. Not looking to sell it but if and when will certainly offer it here. Great forum! Still using my 1996 314-H. The Best Buy ever! Got one before Toro tossed the quality units out the door.
-
2 pointsI turned down some aluminum roundstock in my lathe and bushed the throttle shaft thinking that could be the issue
-
2 pointsThe blue color on the intake stem is concerning. I'm thinking you have intermittent gremlins in you ignition trigger throwing the timing off. Or there is something loose in the muffler not letting the exhaust gasses escape and overheating that valve and leaning out the mixture.

2 pointsIf this purchase gets more serious and travel is the only hold up, keep us posted. My transportation for the Big Show has not yet been established this year. I have some other items already sold and dedicated to delivery, so room and trailer real estate is not pinned down.
-
2 pointsWell, were going to find out. I pulled the transaxle off the tractor last night and will bring it into work and go through it. Definitely had more than .003 of radial play. Want to power wash it before I disassemble it.
-
2 pointsOn a 12hp you won't notice much of a difference. 14 and 16hp have a little more thump when the gears are removed (longer throw on the crank and bigger piston) but it isn't terrible in most cases. My Bronco 14 has no balance gears and I don't think it's bad at all.
-
2 pointsWondering if anyone out there has one or has seen one. Just remembered getting one when I worked inside the South Bend HQ in the mid 1980’s. Don’t recall who gave it to me but pretty sure it was a gift. Will post a photo when I get my hands on it this week. Don’t recall it ever being used or even opened up for that matter.
-
2 pointsYes @Ed Kennell does do that, but just watch him. He might try to keep it 😂😂😂. Just kidding, Ed was a huge help in getting my barn find all original C-101 to the Big Show for me! Thanks again Ed 👍🏻

1 pointI don't know the specifics of the internal circuitry of the trigger but when transistors and triacs are involved anything's possible to mess up the signal and possibly the spark timing by a few degrees. I've seen electronics to some wild stuff that made no sense.
-
1 pointSorry Tool Man it was a fun conversation while it lasted.
-
1 pointCheck for play in the throttle shaft. Air leaking in around shaft can cause poor idle.
-
1 pointThis machine has the breakerless ignition system. Is there a condenser im missing on it somewhere? I have a few cubs with points ignition but im not very familiar with the breakerless system
-
1 pointTry replacing the condenser, when those go bad the usually have the same symptoms you are talking about. And if that don't work out the old condenser on and replace the coil because those usually because the engine to act weird when hot. If coil works Put the new condenser on for ease mind
-
1 pointWell, we have the toy hauler and the Turd on the way out after plow day, there’s a different diesel pusher in Colorado waiting for us, and I’d love to end up with an enclosed trailer to pull, but that’s all subject to a handful of variables. So we may have tractors under the belly of the second new coach, or in the 5x10 trailer, or inside their own mobile home
-
1 pointA photo memory on my phone came up from the 2021 Portage show. I was eyeing a 16 horse Speedex long before I realized it!

1 pointCan’t wait to see it ! Said item wouldn’t happen to be for sale, would it? Sorry, but I had to ask. I totally understand if you say NO WAY!
-
1 pointThat's a little too much for a carbureted engine. Especially a smaller size. 1 to 4 PSI is the standard.
-
1 point3 late bloomers voted on option C and they do look good; well they all look pretty awesome. When ahead and pulled the trigger on option E, that red horse head emblem just kept calling my name . That Wheel Horse emblem adds just enough bling bling without being too overbearing.
-
1 pointGonna make it happen at Pullstart's. Yes the way Dan buys prolly already have a full load on the way back. He likes them hunerd dolla rollers.

1 pointCould be I had a NIB one that was stuck but didn't take much to unstick. Prolly got stuck jiggled around in shipping. The ones in front? I may have. I like this. amazon.com/gp/product/B000C34OUM/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
-
1 pointNo, but I’ll add that to the list before I tighten everything back up. Are you thinking there’s grit getting past the filter that’s mucking up the carb?
-
1 pointWe got all kinds just forgot to adjust the quantity when we did run out for a very short time then we made some more, here is a picture of a few we will get the quantity adjusted shortly and they’ll reappear

1 pointFlorida Flywheelers - Saturday February 28, 2026. Last day of the 2026 show. Rodney Burger , Vernon Perry and I had a great time this year. Talked with lots of folks from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida and Indiana with Wheel Horses or good Wheel Horse memories and connections! Rodney’s Wheel Horse display was again the largest at the show!
-
1 pointYour li'l nephew @Pullstart could rearrange your load and get 3 or 4 more tractors on.
-
1 pointI don't want to but Dan hid a bottle of captains in some bushes last year and now we gotta go get it.
-
1 pointYou guys need to quit drooling on Don's tractor and help Tool Man out ... Where is it in IN? We are coming that way to the BS but I don't dare offer at this time we might already have a full load. Never know tho things change alot between now and then.
-
1 pointHey Lane, you better never commit a crime worse than having your finger in a pic shot as we could probably get your finger prints and DNA from this one! LOL Thanks for sharing with us!
-
1 pointThat is in fact the original seat, but not the rear tires. The seat just needed a good cleaning and some love! At the Big Show last year I purchased those tires and rims from Brian Badman not even knowing what I was going to do with them. One of the original rear rims had some rust on it for some reason? When I rolled the wheels from Brian along side this tractor it was a no brainer. The paint was an exact match and the 23x8.50-12 ag tires were a factory option. I wasn’t sure if I was going to leave them on, but I now think I will. As far as the history from Sam, he basically told me everything that he knew about it. The tractor belonged to his coworkers grandfather. The coworker told Sam it had been in the back corner of the barn for as long as he could remember! To me it looks as if he purchased it and parked it. Nubs still on the tires and the paint on the muffler.
-
1 point@Pullstart check out the Speedies... Cool buildings. Here's your plan Mike... or mine. I got the first two covered. Get retired Buy a enclosed. Put your motor scooter in enclosed. Maybe a horse too. Head south before that snow storm. Attend a show and ride the Lorida Keys. Live the dream.

1 pointFriday February 27, 2026 at Florida Flywheelers Show in Avon Park, Florida. More pictures from the show today! Met Art Fontanes today at Florida Flywheelers! Art was Senior Test Engineer for Toro at their Tampa Test Facility at the University of South Florida from 1987 to when he retired. Who knew Toro had a test facility in Tampa, Florida! Art had previously worked for Wheel Horse as a test facility engineer for two years at the South Bend, Indiana plant! In 1986 and 1987, before Toro bought Wheel Horse! Art is now retired from Toro.

1 pointThanks! I general contracted just the house 29 years ago. Then we had the room/porch and 3 bay added on 10 or 12 years later. We came from a 3 level condo before the house and both the wife and I were sick of stairs. I still have a basement in this house and the washer/dryer are down there, but for the most part it’s one level living.

1 pointMotors tires, tractors, you name it! ! One building full! Always an experience to visit with Rodney Burger in Lorida, Florida ( Yes Lorida - Florida without the F) in Highlands County during the Florida Flywheelers February Show! We will have about a dozen Wheel Horse tractors on Row 30, spots 48, 49 and 50 from today thry Saturday this week! Stop by and say hello!
-
1 pointWe stand ready for snow year-round. Generator full. Extra fuel. Extra food. Good to go.

1 pointHey bill , I replaced lift cylinder with known good one . Same results
-
1 pointOne of the relief valves has failed or is jammed open Can't build up pressure beyond the 50-150 psi that feeds the charge pump. You get enough pressure for the charge pump to feed slippers and piston block, they drive the tractor but that pressure is not enough to run the lift it needs 550-750 I would guess it is one of the springs for the implement valve has broken...
-
1 pointYou can buy a DORMAN 85668 fuse block from RockAuto for $4.05, they are available at many auto parts stores as well. Take a photo of the bottom of the old block to record where the wires go. Cut the wires as close to the block as possible to conserve wire length. Record how the connectors are linked together in the old block, some are linked and others are single. Assemble the connectors and block, a crimping tool makes the job better, I like to solder the connectors after crimping to prevent a hot connection in the future. Use NO-OX-ID on the fuses to prevent corrosion. Wheel Horse Parts & More has a fuse block cover to keep out water and debris. Done right, this will last much longer than original.
