gloubigoulba

Hello , I'm 53 years old and i live in the centre of France in a very quiet and non-urban region. My job is mecanic on trucks,equipments for trucks, mecanic in big worksite (roadscreation,highspeed train railroad) . I love olds mecanics in general and time after time i make some buying ..... 

I bought a wheel horse tractor few days ago. It was sleeping in a bard. Wheel Horse is totally unknown here. His stickers says it's a raider 14 but the serial number says it's a C160.

U can see pictures on the topic i ever write in "implement and atachment" rubric of the forum.

Here: the picture of the the kohler K321S  60137 serial number . The green beast is a hand tiller build by Somua in 1950 C12b model 7HP 2strokes engine with an ignition magnéto (i have tyre wheels too)20221105_150755.jpg.69240511f73bf0c77461a6bfea9e8105.jpg20221105_150635.jpg.5fbb878834fe0fdabc3c9a56dad86840.jpg

Bonjour, @gloubigoulba, merci d'avoir rejoint notre groupe. :D

 

(I studied French for 3 years in High School, back in the late 1970's, so I don't remember much and had to look up that phrase to get it right :wink: )

 

I read your other posts and you have some interesting machines around you.

 

I love old equipment like this and always want to make it run and be useful again.  Sometimes the reality is, unless you have endless money and time available, it is just not practical.  

 

Bon chance! :greetings-clappingyellow:

Old equipment - Repair, Maintain, Keep using. 

New equipment - Use, it breaks, after 5 yrs no parts available, Throw it away, Buy new.

 

Old equipment rules!!!

When I was in collage (a looooong time ago) a group of us decided to take a trip to Paris. I enrolled in a French class and learned enough to be able to order a cup of black coffee and was able to find my way around on the subway. My pronunciation was poor enough that I'm sure they thought I was intellectually challenged. When we went out to eat the majority of the servers didn't speak English so we would all order something different and then when the food was served we would trade dishes so each of us would have something we liked. I knew that jambon was ham and fromage was cheese so we had a bit of an idea what to order.        :handgestures-thumbupright:     Good memories!

I remember these.  Briggs & Stratton, I was going to say NS until I saw the model plate, this is an NP.  I had an NS mounted on a bicycle frame back in high school.  Bullet-proof run-forever motors.

@gloubigoulba

Find a manual for that old Briggs engine on the internet and see if it has an internal plunger type oil pump driven off the camshaft. If it does I would pull the oil pan and make sure it’s not stuck. Remove and put the plunger in a pan of oil to make sure it pumps.  If it’s stuck that engine will destroy the crankshaft operating just a few minutes.

Tire pressure gauge.  We still have similar devices, but more compact and have a lot of plastic parts these days.

That was probably for truck tires, it will be around another 75 or more years the way the Army had them built.        :handgestures-thumbupright:

:confusion-shrug:        Does the circular bronze piece turn as the magneto is turning? What is the function of the two arms in front of it.

Arms just maintain bakelite part.This part fonction is to connect ignition breaker to the ground and stop ignition. Circular piece doesn't move while magneto is running .Cam is fixed on it . on these magneto ignition breaker,condensator and coil turn together20221119_135122.jpg.b13c5865ccc47fefa3eb6a23f054e8bb.jpg
