12 hp Kohler 1,014 #5 Posted March 7, 2017 That's a nice find they don't come up very often Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,209 #6 Posted March 7, 2017 Yea... especially in the same state. I saw one mounted on another tractor but it was in Ohio and wasn't driving that far. A gentleman saw my want ad 3 hours away and was nice enough to want to let it go. He also has a bunch more tractor parts, has a deck for parts, has alot of tractors and parts besides WH. Him and his wife were very friendly and very good people. Had to bring my daughter cuz she was sick so unfortunately it was a short visit. It was a good trip, good people, and good purchase. Can't ask for more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The nut goes on the end of the pivot pin that bolts on the opposite end of the pulley, inside the wobble box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,209 #10 Posted March 9, 2017 Hmm... I looked all over, even in the diagrams and can't find where the nut goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,209 #11 Posted March 9, 2017 I looked at both the 42" exploded diagram and the 50" diagram, is there a way to point it out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shynon 7,435 #12 Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Item # 7 is the 3/4" pivot pin and #8 is the nut inside the wobble box. Edited March 9, 2017 by Shynon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,209 #14 Posted March 9, 2017 Ohh... you're talking about the handle pivot pin. I just looked and it was hard to tell because the pin is threaded so far out that it's just a hole looking from inside the box lol. Thank you for helping me clear that up.

WHX?? 46,902 #15 Posted March 9, 2017 Your welcome.....Just in case you don't have it already this is for the 50" but should be close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,209 #16 Posted March 9, 2017 I got it thank you for pointing out the nut and location of it guys. I would have been clueless putting it back together all over a nut. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,209 #17 Posted March 10, 2017 Unfortunately no pictures yet.... but I got it in pieces. Sharpened and cleaned the blades, took all the pieces off the bar to clean, cleaned all the grease, grass, and grime off the wobble box and handle. Just gotta clean few more parts then time for primer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,209 #18 Posted March 13, 2017 Got most of it primered. Big improvement from dirty grassy rusty parts to clean and presentable metal. Fixed 2 stuck pulleys, straightened out a few bent pieces of metal, and hammered down 2 loose blades. Can't wait for paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,209 #19 Posted March 14, 2017 Had to order a drive pulley for the k301 because I have the manual pto on it and no way the belt would line up. Also ordered a grass rod for the sickle bar I just realized it was missing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adams94 1,065 #22 Posted March 20, 2017 What is the going prices on a good original sickle like this? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,209 #23 Posted March 20, 2017 It depends on the seller, and condition. I did research and got a good buy with mine being all complete. With that said.... depending on condition, completeness, and if in working order, I'd ballpark anywhere between 200 to 650. That's from research I've done for a long while.
