Now that I think of it my boy did mention something about a b hind when he got it. Can you confirm that mine is a plow? The one in post 162 Also is it safe to say a any plow with a slot hitch is a plow or were their other brands of 4 Wheel tractors that used a slot hitch?

Eriks Red horse herd 133 #179 Posted March 10 (edited) Differently a Wheel Horse PP8 the second pick is from a RJ-35 brochure 1956. There was also other manufacturers that copied the slot hitch hook up but there plows look different. Here is my 1961 Jacobsen Chief 100 the y copied a lot of Wheel Horses designs including the slot hitch. Just changed a thing or two to not get in trouble for copy right infringement. Notable things is slot hitch, transmission, lift lever, front axle. Edited March 10 by Eriks Red horse herd 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 31,351 #180 Posted March 23 (edited) Been almost a month since my last post on this subject. Sooo what the heck has Dan been up to?? Well I posted some sheet metal for a C.C. that I painted black. After that I moved on to a Simplicity. Some body work followed by some white paint. More body work follow by some orange paint. This concluded the most of the Simple City side project. Rest of the Cub Cadet showed up, and I finished the rest of that up this morning. And finally I get to get back to work on my 401 project again. Spent the rest of my day assembling part of the engine. I managed to find as set of NOS OEM rings for this engine. Piston that was in the engine only had 3 rings. The NOS OEM set had more rings than a guy can collect on the first level of Sonic the Hedge Hog. . 1 in the top groove, 3 in the second groove and 4 in the third groove. @WHX?? Stopped by & gave me a hand. Thanks Jim!!! Hope to get back on track with this project. Should have more to show the next time I check in.

Achto 31,351 #188 Posted 17 hours ago (edited) Well I managed to finish the assembly process today. Sorry no glammer shots, I will get some as soon as the monsoon season is over here in Wisconsin. I also got it running although the results were less that satisfactory. It idles excelent but it does not take to having the throttle pulled very well. Any amount of throttle and it wants to die. I can coax the RPM up by pushing the throttle open manually but it does not like to stay at higher RPMs. Runs even worse when it gets warm. Messed with the carb, cleaned the points several times with no good results. Pulled the rope soo many times that I have the infamous blister between me fingers. So after some head scratching, I'm thinking that I may have a bad condenser. ? If anyone else has any ideas, I'm all ears. As for the condenser change, I'm thinking about moving the condenser out in the open instead of keeping it under the flywheel.

sqrlgtr 2,347 #189 Posted 17 hours ago This may not be even close to your problem but I had an 8hp that would not take any throttle hardly at all and had sumin to do with the guvner but for thelife of me I cant remember what I had to do to it but it runs great now. A condenser would be easy enough to swap out with one from a good runner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the carb in nice and clean thats what I'd do, as far as moving it thats not a bad idea I hate pulling flywheels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
