1969-1972 R26 from Germany

Recommended Posts

GermanWheelHorse

Hello and greetings from Germany!

 

I just bought an old R26. I want to fix it up and use it. It looks so cool and should do the job fine on my property.

 

But, the seller tried to fix it up a bit. And now i have some problems and questions. Any help is appreciated!!!

 

Carburetor for these, where to get them. They all look different then the one on my mower

 

Then he told me it has two speeds, but it seem like i can only engage one?

 

Also the lever for reverse and forward seems to be out of adjustment, it randomly stops driving (when the carby wants to run)

 

Any Info, manuals or products which might help, please let me know :)

Welcome to Red Square.

Here is what we have for the model 2-0100 in random order. We have a tractor parts list but no illustrations to go with them.

https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?&q=2-0100&type=downloads_file&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy

Best guess is you have a 1972 model.

The V50 (5hp) engine is not listed for this model but little is known about Belgium product. We show a V70-125093A (7hp).

 

Did find a parts list for the engine you have but it was not originally used Wheel Horse in anything. They did use V50 engines in walking mowers but not this one.

Thanks! I think this will help me for part search. The Internet doesnt tell me much about these Belgium ones.

Huge thanks guys! 

 

The Repair Manual helps a lot! Let me get a carby kit and refresh this one. I think the Diaphragm is bad on mine.

 

When this works i have to figure out the levers, seems like they dont want to do what they should, i keep you posted!

 

And *prost* :) bolten is close by!
