What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[TonyToro Jr. 2,009]

Good Ole Rusty’s repower is 90% complete. Today we put the muffler on and welded it. And was able to drive it around for the first time in 4 years. Tommorow going to put the original saw tooth tires on it. And sometime soon hook the charging system back up, and make a 2” receiver hitch for it. 
We still don’t know how much horse power this engine is since there’s no tag or stamp on the block. Is there anyway else to tell?

Many have a casting just over the PTO shaft, but many 10 and 12hp have "K301" because both used the same casting. 

 

Not sure if K321 have anything that absolutely identifies them or not- other than the previously mentioned "Kxxx" casting. 

 

16hp engines have an extra head bolt. 

 

Otherwise, you have to remove the head to verify.

Well then unless it has 10 head bolts (16hp) the only way to know is to remove the head and measure the piston.
