Hello everyone! I recently inherited my grandpa's Wheel Horse 753. I remember it running before his health declined about 15 years ago. My intentions are just to get it running and do a mild restoration, it'll stay in the family. Without further ado, here it is! Having a hard time with pictures due to no phone service at my shop. I'll be sure to update soon.

Got the 753 running this evening, I didn't get it driving yet because I have to get a belt guard and gear oil but the engine runs great, started up third pull and idles very clean.

I just got a 1963 Wheel Horse Model 753. It has a K161 with a Carter Model N carb. Its my first Wheel Horse and I was looking for some advice. It runs great, starts right up, idles good, accelerates fine... but after running for 1/2 hour or so when going full throttle the engines sputters just a little bit. Does anyone know what to do? Its not a problem just annoying to me. I have adjusted the carburetor best I can. I made it have a slower idle speed and normal fuel to air mix. Any thoughts?? Thanks

After mowing the yard at higher throttle for about 2 hours my engine starts to smoke out the exhaust and when shut off... it has trouble starting back up.??? Anyone have any ideas? It runs good most all the other times and never starts hard never smokes but I usually just joyride around the farm at low speed and rpms. Thanks for checking any help is very very welcome

Hey everyone. As you know I'm hot and heavy into wheel horses now and many of you have answered many of my questions and helped me TREMENDOUSLY. But I've finally decided to give my horse a paint job and I thought I'd post pictures along the way. Here's the engine cleaned,sanded, prepped and primed. This is the first thing I've done. :)

Which way does this go? It fits both ways so I'm confused. Also the air canal for the adjustment screw (top hole on picture number 3 on the carb )just sucks unfiltered air. Neither way covers up that hole. Is that right?

Does anyone have any good pictures of where the throttle and choke cable goes on my 753? I'm thinking one runs over the head and the other goes under the engine shround but I can't remember for sure. Any pics or help is appreciated. Also does the little hooked spring on the govenor arm go through the notch on this disc? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I just bought my first wheel horse! I must say I love it. Its a 753. I want a snow blade to put on it. I found one for an 854. Will that fit? Thanks a lot, Zane

I'm not so sure this is OK to do even if I plug up the holes and stay away from seals. Just a thought I had because it would save me loads of time. But I don't want to risk anything. If anyone has other suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I'm Zane. I'm new here and just purchased my first wheel horse this past Wednesday! Its a 753. I love it. You guys already answered a question for me in the implement section about the 854 snow plow interchangeability. I just thought I'd properly introduce myself And point out that I can't figure out how to post pics! Well thanks again, Zane

Ive decided I'm putting a new vertical muffler on my tractor. Has anyone had any experience with Stanley or nelson mufflers? Those are the two I'm interested in. Thanks
-
Hey again everyone. My 753 has a vertical muffler on it. Ive seen one other one like this on another 753 but I didn't know if it was a coincidence or if it was original and just not very common. Any answers are appreciated! Thanks guys. Zane

Hey again everyone. I've gotten SO much done on my tractor thanks to this site and most of all my new friend stevasaurus. What a great guy. Anyway my carb bowl is leaking around the bolt. I tried a small rubber washer but it stretched around the bolt. Should I try a bigger one?
-
I want to tighten up the steering on my tractor. I think it might be the gears? Without being able to see it do you guys know what I might need or have what I might need? Thanks a bunch, Zane

I've had my wheel horse 753 for about a week now and hasn't leaked a drop of anything. Previous owner said it didn't leak for him either. I walked to the garage today and noticed a couple of drops under the rear end! they came from the pulley on the left side. Any advice on how to fix this? Thanks Zane

Should I flush my transmission with diesel fuel or is there really a need?

I'm thinking of mounting farmall cub headlights (the thin looking ones) to my 753. I know they're not original wheel horse obviously and I'm usually a stickler with that type of deal but I think they would look good. Is this a bad idea in you're guys' opinion?
-
I installed the blade on my wheel horse. I've had a good time grading the driveway and such with it so far. I'm missing the index lever though. Anyone know where I could find one? Its a 42" dozer/snow blade. Thanks

Hey again guys. My 753 tractor has an hour meter installed on it. (Very neatly done.) It says it now has 1739 hours on it. I would say it might have a little more than that if its not original which I'm guessing its not? The meter does appear old though. How long can a trans last in a 753. (Approximately) I know you can't tell me exactly but it doesn't jump out of gear going up or down hill. Just wondering. Thanks guys, I appreciate it, Zane

OK, I know hl 5 kits are really rare and expensive. I be seen guys just mount small headlights to the hood which I think looks pretty good but I know its not original wheel horse style. Are there any good alternatives or should I just wait for an hl-5 kit to turn up? Thanks in advance, Zane

Hey there, Last night when I turned the key on my tractor the starter whistled twice before it actually engaged and cranked the engine. Anyone know what that could've been? Thanks in advance, Zane
