1973 wheelhorse (no name project)

[repairman 7]

what I started with.

moved hood forward 3.5" to accommodate large engine

changed wheels to the 23"

have the preliminary work done to the 14 hp Magnum Engine changed oil pan from a Magnum to a 14hp K-series so the mounting bolts would be right for WH Frame

will continue to add pics threw out restore project will also try to add resolved issues I have ran into threw out process so others will no what will work for there projects :thumbs:

That'll be a good tractor with the 14hp in there.

Are you sure you need to do the hood mod? I have a B80 4 speed ("medium" frame) and the K341 bolted straight into it.

[repairman 7]

The Magnum Has a large air filter, and cooling shroud is larger and more square, Hood

wont come close to shutting with motor bolted in original mounting holes I want it to be

as close to right as possible to avoid parts waist :thumbs:

I got most of the hood work done today

this was a wrecked hood used 4.5" of the rear

this long cut down the side of the Hood was made in error so I fixed it

bolted motor back on

installed mule drive just so I could check the look and hood operation

I also put the 8" wheels on the front and a new seat today will have more pics soon

I finished all Mechanical and Welding Work today took it for a test drive the 14hp Magnum is a great running Engine everything worked out well. When the weather gets warmer I will Strip and sand all of it and paint along with new decals.I am not sure what to call this Horse it was a 1973 8hp 4 speed (no name) so I am looking for good Suggestions as what to name it now in regards to decals?

How about calling it an "EH-14 Special". (extended hood)

Made a Headlight Lens Today not great but it will work until I find an original replacement for it

I also put a 48" mower deck under this machine I built this tractor for the sole purpose

using this 48" Mower and a 60" Swisher pull behind in Tandem this should give roughly

108" of mowing I hope to mow 3.5 acres in about 45 min

I need help with a belt size for this machine my first thought is a 42" deck would have the right length of belt but I don't know what that is need some place to start

:thumbs:

looks good nice work. :thumbs:

3.5 acres in 45 minutes!! Neeed pictures of everything hooked up!

[repairman 7]

OK so I figured out the correct size belt to run the mower 97"

I then put the finishing touches to the headlight lens.

Then I got the 60" Swisher out to charge battery and prep for mowing and started to mock up how I will make a tong for this to pull behind the horse.

so I plan to make an L shaped bracket that will pivot on the swisher side 2 Gussets at

the elbow then a Ball Receiver at the tractor hitch this should allow full motion needed to mow hills. :thumbs:

Made some more upgrades to the EH-14 Special

Cleaned and painted the wheels.

Also installed Agricultural tires to the rear

And installed an 8 speed trans out of a 1142 work horse.

Lot of work but well worth it...... :thumbs:
