I have a bunch of WH decks and on the 42'' the chute goes under and on the 48'' over on the SD decks. @Horse Newbie Both were bought new.

weird - - they must have changed some of the s.d. chute install over the various models over the years -  i have mower deck WH manuals photos and diagrams and it shows the 48 with the chute on top -- and also underneath?????????????

I bought a 48” SD in 1984 and it was under. I took it off almost immediately because I thought it impeded the dispersion of the clippings. Look at me using big words, like I’m all smart or something 🤣🤣 Don’t be fooled 😂

Well I got the C-175 running good, and it operates as it should. I started tearing it down and quickly realized it is going to need a lot of work. I’m still on the fence about doing a full blown restoration on this tractor. As some of you know, it’s a lot of work to do it properly. It would be nice however to have it done as it is the feature tractor for the big show. I was fairly certain my buddy had the front mower carrier, but he informed me that he sold it a few years ago. @Tonytoro416 said he has a nice one, maybe we can work something out? One thing I do have is several 48” decks that also need to be restored. So really all I need to re-create the picture is to restore my tractor and mower deck. Find a mower carrier, a yellow Members Only jacket, polyester pants and those brown shoes!! Basically if I am going to try and pull this off I’m going to need to devote all of my free time to getting it done! I ask myself why on earth am I even thinking about doing this! I have been dropping subtle hints to the treasurer that we may be incurring some unexpected costs over the next few months. I didn’t get a full on green light, however I didn’t get a red light either. I feel as if I’m operating under a yellow caution light 😂 Stay tuned………

Sorta...?

 

Blame @Pullstart or @WHX??...? I mean, they have about 100 plus :wh:'s between them, and no C-175's ??? :angry-tappingfoot:

Well @SylvanLakeWH someone is going to have to take the blame for this once my bride starts reviewing the credit card statements that are bound to follow 🤣🤣

Honestly Bill, I didn’t put a gauge on it. When I removed the plugs I held my thumb over the hole and I couldn’t hold it tight so I figured I had good compression. Now that you’ve said that though, I probably will test it just to see what it has. I’m thinking about pulling the motor over the weekend.

Okay, well it looks like “I’m in it to win it!” I’m going to start a separate thread on the restoration in case someone else wants to post here about this year’s feature tractor at the big show. I’m going to tear it down further, I guess I just gotta go for it! I can’t do it half ass, @cleat is setting the bar pretty high nowadays! So here it goes!………..

I will get some pictures this week of the deck carrier and I would be willing to part with it knowing the situation and or let you borrow for the show.  Something can be worked out I’m sure
