WH212-6

87' 212-6 carburetor

Recommended Posts

WH212-6

So I just purchased a nicely running WH 212-6 (32-12 K601) and I am in the process of performing some maintenance on the tractor as there were a few TLC issues.

The carb is leaking some gas and I suspected it would be the main O-ring for the bowl and indeed when I opened it the gasket simply was not there.   My main question is in reference to the float.  The float is not level when removing the bowl rather it is tilted downward at an angle from the pin.  Should the float be level once the bowl is removed?

If so what is the best way to remove the pin and the relevel the float.  

There is a great diagram for the carburetor here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks!

WH212-6

Hi, I've had one of those beasts for a number of years. I use it to plow,blow snow, mow grass, Great tractor. Almost all that I've seen, including mine, needs a gas shut-off valve. The gas needs to be shut off because of the carb design. Otherwise you will lose most of the gas and it will get into the oil and will need to be drained.

Thanks, Dave

Fantastic - I ordered one with my fuel line on amazon today.  Was surprised not to see one on it.  Now I just have to get the 36" rear discharge deck off - Just found manual on this site so should not be a problem now.  It is in good shape but I want to sand off the very little surface rust that is here and there and then paint.   You wouldn't know if the proper wheel horse shade of red paint can be purchased anywhere?  Thanks.

The float is low on one end because it is not floating in fuel. When it floats up level it should close off the inlet needle valve and stop fuel flow from the tank. To set the float level you take the carb off and turn it upside down.

One more quick question does the 1987 FB460V 212-6 have a oil filter?  I just bought a kit for all the filters for the FB460V motor but I do not see a oil filter.  Is it right that some had the filters while others did not?  The ones that do not have the filter you simply change the oil every 25 hours as opposed to every 50?

If so FB460V new oil filter for sale 5 bucks!

​Do you need a plow for your 212-6 because i have an extra that just sits around and takes up space. $100 or best offer, comes with everything you need to hook it up to your 212-6. 

Thanks, Dave

Do you have any pics of the plow?  May be good to have if my blower goes down.

On a side note why do some of the WH 212-6 have that long lever on the left side while others do not?  Is that part of certain mowing deck systems used to raise and lower the deck on the fly?

​Thank you Gary - So I'll assume if it was running ok that the fuel leak was because the o-ring was missing from the bowl and that there was not a fuel shut off valve installed.  In that case I'll let the float be and simply add the oring and change all the filters and oil.  Thanks again this site is so very helpful.

​the lever that is on my 212-6 is for the plow and blower, it is very rare. It would come with the plow I'm selling.

here is one of it on the tractor, you can mount a plow and deck at the same time on it. If your going to plow i would just mount the plow and take off the deck for support.

Thank you - this group is great and I'll be posting quite a bit now that I've got a WH.  I live in Upstate NY and when I bought it I didn't notice the shop sticker that was on it.  The mower actually came from NJ very close to the house I grew up in so was def a good sign.  

I seriously want that plow.  Please hold for me.  Ill be in a better position to purchase in a month.

​i got around 901 and still doesn't burn oil and runs great. I think they will go around 2,000 hours.

      Hi I am trying to resurrect my fathers 1966 wheel horse lawn ranger.  I have gas leaking from the carburetor and I need a replacement.  I can not seem to find any accurate resources for the correct one needed. 
       
      Here are the specs for the tractor.  I am also in need of a seat for it if you know which work for this model.  
       
      Thanks in advance!

      Hi,
       
      my throttle return spring is basically useless.
       
      3 questions; 
       
      - if I remove the throttle butterfly screw that holds the shaft in there, do I need to use loctite or similar when putting it back ? 
      - I cannot find any reference online or anywhere to the model of carb I have; 676794 or 676704 (attached pic), are those springs normally standard (any link to a replacement would be great)
       
      the rest of the carburetor is not in that good of a shape, I see all bunch of cheap carb around on ebay but again, none that match my part number.  Other than the throttle/choke/fuel line, can I safely replace mine with another model assuming it's built for the same engine size (10hp).
       
      my current block is a sbh-225 (hh100) installed on a raider 10 (69-70) 
       
      thanks

      Developed a little gas leak on a K301 carb this weekend so decided it was due for a long overdue cleaning. While I was at it had a carb off a 241 that I might as well go through for a ready spare on the shelf. Question here is the best way to bush the throttle shaft. These both had the removable linkage  so hopefully no need to take the throttle plate off.   Carb on the left has brass/bronze washers around the shaft so does this mean a PO had put them there?  The one on the left has that recessed area where they might fit in? Is the small stepped area on the one on the right a bushing that must come out? I know Dan @Achto has recently done this on his Raider 12 resto so hopefully he'll chime in to elaborate.

      Hello, my new to me C-160 seems to surge a little when idling at half and full throttle. It also bogs if I go from low idle to full throttle quickly. I moved the governor back and forth with my hand then started it and right after it would go from low to high normally, then later it had trouble again. The surging also seemed to be less when I messed with the governor and the spring but doesn't go away. I plan to clean and maybe rebuild the carburetor and adjust everything. I've never done this on a tractor before. What rebuild kit do I need for the carburetor and is there anything else I should consider doing or get. I have a K series pdf manual that explains the maintenance so I'd like to go through and do everything. I just don't want to mess anything up because it seems to be in decent running condition aside from maybe cleaning up and making adjustments. I've changed the oil and transmission fluid and am moving on to the fuel system. Any help and suggestions are much appreciated.
