What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[JoeM 9,221]

Changed out the TU pulley on Frankie. I has a few of these plastic ones. JD uses them and my son has a 324 that has them on the hydro pulley. I know he has to be pushing 500 hours with no issues. 

I put one on the hydro and I must say they are smooth. Very smooth. Now I know why they are used by JD.

Added a lift assist spring for snowblower on the 702. Made it definitely easier to raise up. With my lower back issues I need any help I can.

May help the blower to float and reduce wear on the skids as well.

The blower has the steel wheels instead of skids. I did adjust spring so snowblower isn't bouncing around when down but yet its definitely lighter on the wheels. I'm sure I'll maybe need to adjust it some????

Yes

Got the transaxle case back together on my C-120, after changing out the differential assy. Of course, that's when I realized that the only oil I have on hand is all 30W 

Anybody need a good diff with trashed axles? Or, does anyone have any good "repurposing" ideas? I suppose I could get a forge and make a few swords.

I looked at mine, and swore at it for a bit because the side panel wont go back on. Then went back inside.

When they start to swear back then it's definitely time to go back inside.

f I used my Wheelhorse it goes in this thread. If I didn't use my Wheelhorse it goes in the other thread, "What did you do today?"

I looked a little bit for the work your horse thread but failed ... my penance is reading all upmteen pages of this one ... 

 

As long as we're wrenching on sno machines. This one in the shop for oil & filter. Is it just me or does a motor just seem to run better with fresh oil? Should have cleaned the carb ... surging abit and seafoam aint workin. Need it tho so after today's cleanup. 

Grass screen was rusty ... I think they look cool in red ... 

 

Do I have a problem?

I used mine yesterday as a place to put the shed pad lock while I got a couple ears of corn for the squirrel feeder.

I don’t recall a what did you do with your wheel horse today thread.

It's called "Horses at work"  located down in "Wheel Horse Picture Gallery".

I made the last post there in September. 2023.

Put custom decal from @Vinylguy on this morning. I wanted a decal that matched the seat latch decal and think he done a great job.

.  First run after complete K181 engine overhaul.  Always a fingers crossed time hoping no loud banging noises.

 

Don't know what happened to the sound

 

 

Try again

Curious. Was the sideways coil mount your mod or original?

My Mod.  This engine was originally on a C-81 with obviously bendix starter and under seat tank.  Coil was mounted up top.  I converted her to  a S/G setup.  Some S/G engines the coil was mounted on a bracket bolted to the bottom front of the engine.  I didn't have the bracket but looking at a K181 I picked up for parts it had the cross mount so I went with that as no bracket was needed.

I've had a few service eights that are mounted like that.

And it had the longer spark plug wire you needed, as well. Nice.
