2 pointsAttached is a short video of the CBR-327 chain drive cutter bar on my 701 Wheel Horse with a Hein Werner hydraulic lift set up! We had 4 CBR -cutter bars on display and i decided to show how they actually worked! mediasource_export_DF877BD6-2057-436D-BB11-DB5469E10740.mp4

2 pointsJust WOW. I love the 61 steekers. My 702 steeker, not so much. I wish it wasn’t so abused. I’d have to replace nearly everything to get it anywhere close to looking like your 701. Fantastic job.

2 pointsGot the motor swapped over from kRusty, battery in, starter cranks, fresh oil and fuel lines, chased the threads for points and cover. Just need to figure out how to mount my classy white bass boat seat without the crazy mount they used on kRusty and Whitey will be on the truck. I’ll see ya’ll in the morning.

2 pointsThat tractor is lookin' good up there Ed.
-
2 pointsGot excited. Stuck on some steekers...
-
2 pointsAt least the belt guard buffed out nice. If the hood looks as good I will be happy.
-
2 pointsNice setup @stevebo ! Been in full prep mode . Safe travels everyone .

1 pointAny KT17 will have to be Wheel Horse spec. Engines from other brands don't have the thrust bearing needed for the PTO. An M16 or K431 would be a good repower option. Based on the hours I'm pretty confident your engine is repairable. Please post some pictures if you can once you have the heads off.

1 pointI started this thread to post pics of your pre trip rigs and pics on your way to the big show!! Hard to post pics in trailer as this is a toy hauler. Here is my ride for the show and my home while there. safe travels to all…

1 pointHello Everyone, I was thinking that there would be more of a difference on the leak down numbers compared to the compression differences. I will pull the heads and see how things look. I will also keep my eye out for another LT17 series 2. I will follow up with my results. Is there another motor alternative out there that I could use without to many alterations. Thanks, Bob

1 pointI never noticed the trailer hanging from the ceiling until the grand tour last night. Well done!
-
1 pointTrust me, I understand. See below for what I started with... Alot of stuff got replaced...

1 pointAlmost never a good idea. ... but why do you want one? A garden tractor engine is made to operate at a certain preset RPM. That way the governor can do its job and bring the engine up or down to that preset RPM during operation. More importantly, these are air cooled and splash lubed engines. It's never meant to be at idle except for a few seconds just before shutdown. By introducing a foot throttle you'd eliminate the possibility of keeping the preset along with adding a piece of equipment to the foot area that now gets in the way.

1 pointCool, @ebinmaine that’s great that worked out like that for you!
-
1 pointPull the heads off and look for scored cylinders. If the cylinders look good check the valves. My money's on it needing the valves adjusted. Unfortunately they have to be removed and the stems ground. I haven't had the best success doing that in the past.
-
1 pointYeah, that's kinda the same basic idea. Like I would buy an Explorer all the way out to 2019, because it's basically an 07 Edge with EPAS and a longer wheel base.
-
1 pointThank you sir! It's getting there!
-
1 pointWell I was specifically referring to the models we have now. My Tacoma is a 2011, and they were the same until 2015, and the Tundra was good until 2017.
-
1 pointMoved this to the wanted section for better exposure. Good luck!
-
1 pointDon’t forget the shinny 36”
-
1 pointNot much to load..one tractor for my son to drive, the WH cart and a couple presold decks. Will be on the road around 4am tomorrow
-
1 pointHooked up and buckets loaded. 41 miles away. I'll leave at 7AM tomorrow morning.
-
1 pointWent ahead and put the hood on for now. The paint looks pretty good minus a couple issues I'll fix later. Even with hardener this Rustoleum is soft enough to make a print in if you really bear down on it so I'll fix the couple spots in a month or so. But it does have enough shine for a reflection as it is. I'll take it!

1 pointThis photo is from yesterday but I figured @Pullstart would be proud of hiw we loaded the trailer
-
1 pointall the above
-
1 pointReady for an early AM departure. Just gotta remember to stop & pick up Jim on the way.
-
1 pointThere is room on that trailer guy!
-
1 pointLoaded up!
-
1 pointI have 2 pairs of 50LB wheel weights. I think these are Bolens. They are in very good shape and they are stackable. $50 a pair
-
1 pointTruck half loaded. Rain boots in the trunk filled with impact driver and miscellaneous sockets
-
1 pointJust stick with your K181 The shaft on your linked engine is to small and too short. I know you are trying to learn but stay focused on what you have.
-
1 pointlast V61's I bought came from them, they were a few dollars more but no added fees. I almost pulled the trigger on a set from tires easy and happen to notice the hidden fees before ordering and got mad and have never went back to them.
-
1 pointOff topic (usually its @WHX?? going straight to left field ) but did you end up with the free B-80 that was posted here in the RS classifieds and was in Florida?
-
1 pointJim dropped off his trailer at my house so I could finish loading. Gotta throw a few things in the truck yet and I'm ready to go.
-
1 pointSome pictures. 20260510_105730.mp4 20260510_105802.mp4

1 pointDecided to shoot the final coat before the kids got up. Three gnats in the left side in almost a straight line- but I think there's enough paint to let the buffer fix it in a day or two. Either way I'm done painting this bleeping hood.

1 pointHello all, I put my 520-8 up for sale on page 13 of the big show sale thread. Figured id add it here too to catch those not looking over there. Late to party, last minute for sale... 520-8 with good 42" s/d deck (blades nfg) Unit has 875 hours and clock works. All idiot lights and gauges work. Fresh oil and good battery. Yes it does need some light bulbs and minor doo dads. But it is still solid and very strong Tractor was used but not abused and runs great with no smoke or bad noises. Charging system works. I had plans to tear it apart and do a resto mod / rebuild it the way I would build a "520" and have come to realise I have enough 500 series parts laying around to build one using a 300/400 series as a starting platform. $1500 is my number... with genuine Wheel Horse wheel weights bring $500+ I feel this piece of Wheel Horse lore is worth it. I will haul to big show if paid in advance. Thanks Tony Andover CT (860)978-9039

1 pointThat's exactly why I stopped buying there.

1 point1445 Auto will be my cruiser for the weekend. I sold the K-91 tiller already, and have been digging out other items sold or on the chopping block… Tuesday will be loading day! GT-14 machine will not be making the trip, but it’s cool having the generations of tillers near each other!

1 pointThis evening we finished cleaning the cable ends. I built a new positive cable from solenoid to starter. Degreased the starter and engine block where the cables attach. Installed a NOS Cole Hersee solenoid from my parts department. Added a new battery hold down. Used a primer bulb to dump a little gasoline into the carburetor bowl through the upper vent. At that point the ole beast started right up.... and the alternator started smoking. No worries there. I knew that was a high probability. I have a new HD alternator set aside with a new wiring harness. The truck is setting in the front yard waiting to be towed to the repair shop tomorrow.
