Before ya stick them Buckeye decals on there I'd remove the battery and clean it with some Simple Green. Its not good to have a dirty battery, other than that its looks great under that hood!

Nice job on the resto and the redone original seat! I have two C series tractors and often marvel at how well designed the WH brand was, and the many uses that we have found over the years to put them to use. Enjoy your Horse....you got a nice one :)

Busted! You know, I was so excited to get the engine back in and running that I just slapped the battery back in there. I think I'm going to do some waxing and buffing this weekend, so I'll take your advice and give the battery the once-over.

Amazing what can be done with a spray can (I you know how).

      I’m looking for wheel horse tractors for sale or for parts in the Eastern Nebraska or western Iowa area. Preferably 8 speed manuals. Pm me or comment with what you have. The worst I could say is it’s out of my price or distance range. Edit: engine is not important, it’s going to get a big diesel swap.
      Thanks,
      John

      Hey all. I have a Electro 12 with a factory belly blade. It runs* and drives. I had used it to grade my driveway the last 6 yrs. Having moved I'm looking at my options on storing it or selling it. Frankly I have no idea what it is worth. I watched "ISaveTractors" video on 5 things to do with a new to you wheel horse/12hp kohler. (When i got it 6yrs ago) And went thru and did the adjustments and replaced the parts mentioned. It has been a good strong tractor for me until around July of this year. (2023)
      *Around July it started dying after running 20-30min. I replaced the carb (Chinese Amazon purchase) with one from isavetractors web site. That seemed to help it idle smoother(the old carbs jets wouldnt adjust), but it still dies at around 20-30min.
      So I've got 2 questions. 
      1. What is it worth? (As-Is) and
      2. What do I need to do to fix it? 
      Thanks yall!

      Will a standard mount Kohler work, if I remove the cradle?
