Sparky-(Admin) 19,788 #4 Posted September 23, 2008 Whats the pulley up front for? Was it to lift a non-wheel horse attachment. Mike........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

perry 82 #9 Posted September 24, 2008 just found today that the exhaust threads in the block are stripped . did'nt TT fix one of these ? HEY TT ! a little help please ?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #10 Posted September 24, 2008 Perry, nice tractor... TT's exhaust port fix is about halfway down on this page. http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?showtopic=2349 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #11 Posted September 24, 2008 Nice find Perry & yes those front tires are unusual. Once you get that exhaust fixed try & get your self the Tecumseh exhaust brace if you don't already have one. Also...like Mike said...any idea what the pulley & the extra iron is on the front??
