    Had the opportunity today to buy out another closed Wheel Horse dealership about 45 minutes away. Lots of good stuff, good mix of discontinued parts, lots of Kohler. Long day but should be worth it. Enjoy the photos boys.

    August 9, 2010, JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater quits his job in dramatic style by sliding down his plane’s emergency-escape chute while the aircraft is stopped near the terminal gate at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Slater, who claimed his actions were prompted by the behavior of a rude passenger, quickly became a media sensation and national folk hero.

    Made the 4 hour trip back to my birthplace to attend a family reunion. Back in one of the hollers surrounded by the Appalachian Mts.

    Replaced front wheel bearings on last 312-8 I acquired and sprayed some Regal Red on a set of WH rear weights, that are allocated for a 520H.

    Time for an update. Getting to the point of installing the painted parts as the humidity is not the best for outdoor priming and painting.

    Finished up this shed today. Still need to get a ramp setup for it but no rush on that. Yes it’s plastic and yes it was a kit (one million pieces!!) But it all fit together well and I already had the pressure treated base built and leveled, so that’s how the size was determined. It’s 10’9” x 7’xx” with a door plenty wide enough to get a tractor in if need be.

    Haven't done it yet but these might go on the 161 with the FEL to improve the strain on steering components. Crappy, dirty looking rims with wheelbarrow tires came on an off-brand cart I acquired somehow. Bushings and zerk fittings and when I stripped the junk tires and knocked the bushings out, they were really nice looking 4" x 8 rims with potential. Hit them with some degreaser and ordered some decent bearings and a pair of 4 ply Deestone tri-ribs.

    On my 520 the gas cap and hydro dipstick are underneath the seat. The seat doesn’t flop forward enough to stay up. Got tired of finding something to prop it with. I already have some rubber stops with 5/16s thread. After scrounging around a little I found a short piece of 5/16s all-thread, a matching rod end, and coupling nut. After drilling a hole I bolted on the assembly. Raise the seat and it falls into a vertical position, or push it to the back where it won’t move. Flip it forward when lowering the seat and it rests next to the seat bracket. Much better.

    The plane is as complete as it’ll be this weekend, and maybe for a while. We’re heading back to reality with big things to fix and build.

    Part # 106073 , center keyed pulley for a 48" deck. Plenty in stock here

    Find the model number for the deck, if that isn’t possible then take your best guess as to the year. You can look up parts on the Toro website and then do a search for the best deal. Most of the 48” were about the same.

    That's a great looking rig right there! You'll probably need to be slow and methodical to back it into the garage though

    I pulled the recycler cover off my HXL and had my son-in-law scan it for 3D printing another one in the future, should it break. They are very hard to find, and typically not cheap. Once he gets me the file I'll post it in it's own thread for anyone looking for one in the future. They can download it and find someone to print it up.

    Swapped out tires/rims on the 520. Don’t know why but the original deep offset rims were not on this unit. The previous owner had spacers between the rims and hubs. I replaced the Sears 23x10.50-12 tires/rims with a set of 24x12-12 tires/rims. Also Sears, don’t recall how I got them. Since these rims were not offset enough I installed a 1” spacer on each hub. The tires just barely cleared the mower deck enough to install without removing the deck first. picture #4 is with one of each size. If I push snow with this tractor tis winterI may have to swap back in order to install a set of chains.

    Tied into a Onan I got from @Blasterdad at @Pullstart plow day. Someone started taking it all apart and don't know why. He said it ran when parked and debating whether or not to pop the heads and check things out. Seems to have good compression. Hear tell new head gaskets are junk tho. Cleaned up nice & maybe give the flywheel some red bling.

    Making good progress on the 420. A LOT of hours into it at this point removing the paint on the sheet metal. If WH had used primer it may have come off a little easier ? on this series tractors.Letting things set up before reassembly. Hoping to have it somewhat ready for the September Meet & Greet. Those chrome mylar decals take some patience to remove.Some before and after pics.

    And if they have a bad connection where I put the red arrow, it will not work. Ask me how I know?….😂😂

    The 9-pin connector and the fuse block has been attacked by the usual klutz. I doubt that you need an entire wiring harness, just clean up the mess caused by the klutz. I doubt that you can find a harness anywhere. The solenoid is part of the starter. Download the Demystification Guide, and the Onan engine manual. As you go along, ask questions here.

    Up for sale is my 1990 520-8. Has the swept front axle and an 8 speed trans. Supposedly only 225 of this model were made? I bought it a few years ago with no engine or rear tires/wheels as a project. Not a fan of the Onan so I installed a good running Kohler Magnum 10. Got it all wired in so the the fuel gauge as well as the volt and hour meter work. Headlights work as well as the idiot light test switch. I replaced a couple seals in the transmission so it’s not a leaker. Includes a nice 42” side discharge deck (just mowed with it yesterday). Has front traction tires and factory turfs in the rear with the correct wide/deep wheels. I was running 10.5 ags but they touched the rear guide wheels on the 42” deck, the 10.5 turfs do not. Nothing wrong with it, I was just thinking I should maybe reduce the number of tractors here. Located in Andover Ct. Come take it for a spin!

    Wasn't sure whether to put this in the Sulky thread or the wagon thread. Only three items left to finish up, and my wife's ride for the Tri-State Antique Engine & Tractor Show & Flea Market will be ready to roll! Padded seat cover for the sulky Apply bedliner to the inside of the wagon Apply the Wheel Horse decal.

    This one needs the deep offset rims. And , yes I did drill the rims. 7/16ths to 1/2 didn’t take much effort.

    Well, it's red now! Inside will get black bed liner. Terry put the decal in the mail this morning. Sulky's next on the list.

    I really wish you guys would stop putting down other brands, they will all break down eventually. The truth is, that slogan started with Deere's snowmobile line in the early 1970s. And it stuck. And the truth is that Deere makes probably the best line of lawn and garden tractors today with their X series line, made in Horicon, Wisconsin. Their 7 gauge deck, known as the 7 Iron, is the only 7 gauge deck that is stamped from a single piece of steel. The other manufacturers have to fabricated their commercial decks, using 7 gauge for the sides and 10 gauge for the top section and welding them together to make a deck. Only Deere has a press large enough to stamp 7 gauge metal. Rounded corners means less material buildup to corrode and rust a deck. It's also sad, though, that Deere choses to penalize their ag buyers with their policy for repairs. I know the auto industry wants to do this as well. Sad.

    @Sparky I would not put those 23x10.50-12 ag tires back on your 520. You have a nice lawn and I’d hate to see you mess it up. Instead of you having to worry about storing those rims and tires I’d be more than happy to come and get them. This way it will help you with storage space. I’m just trying to help you out here Mike!😂 Work with me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
