The First Instances Of Factory Installed Hour Meter On Wheel Horse Tractors

Recommended Posts

ztnoo

Can anyone tell me when (the year), and what models hour meters began to be factory installed on Wheel Horse tractors?

At what point did they become standard on all Wheel Horse models?

c-series don

I've seen one on a B-100 so 1974-77. I'm pretty sure it was an option and not standard equipment. Someone here will know more.....

In 1974 hour meters were standard on the D's and C-160, optional on most other models. :)

 

I don't see any mention of one prior to that.

Same here , never seen one on any model prior to '74...most of the early hour meters failed as well from the Kohler rattling them to death .

      Hello
      I want to buy the seat mentioned in Martin Howard's 416 adventures. I tried to contact him but he is not able to receive emails through red square.
      I have a 1993 WH 416-8 tractor. He used a KM UNIPRO 123 seat from www.turfseats.com
       Which seat switch do I use on the replacement seat? My used my FLUKE 88 dvom in auto ranging mode to test the original seat switch. With the
      seat switch disconnected I get a ohm reading and O.L when I sit on the seat. I am thinking that tells me
      that the seat is Normally OPEN.  Am I correct in this? Did the KM seat switch come with a pigtail for wire it up?
      If not how do I install the switch? Where did you get the seat rubber bumpers for the swing up seat base? I believe they were black or grey.
      Also I installed a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard v-twin 23 hp engine swap kit from small engine warehouse.
       
      The hour meter does not work any more after replacing the swapped in engine. I was thinking that a aftermarket hour meter/tach from esitest.com would
      work. http://esitest.com/329.html
       
      My other question is that I can only start the tractor by turning the key and also turning the light switch ON to engage
      the starter motor.  I am thinking one of the power wires in the white AMP engine harness connector is in the wrong pin position as I had to
      replace the connector.
       
      Please advise,

      Removed rear fender and hood for cleaning on my newly free 416H. I noticed that the hours meter worked but the black face inside the meter turned as the seconds passed by. When I examined the meter I found that the ring holding the glass which acts as the front mount loose on one side. Can't figure a fix for this.

      I can replace the meter with a new on but that will start at zero and if I ever decide to sell this will make me look like I am trying to scam someone. This tractor only has 520 hours on it. Any solutions as to how to fix the meter.
