Recommended Posts

Hi folks, me and the gal pal were on our way to the wheelhorse motherland ( southbend), to shop for some wedding rings:angry-nono:.  So we go down little country road see a barn sale, turned around cause I spy a wheelhorse.  I ask how much , he said 400$, but someone was suppose to be picking it up.  Turns out it came with a sickle bar too. My ears kinda perked up then , cause my dad wants on for his 702.  They call the other fella,  he passed on it, I offered 300$, we settled at 350$. Tractor runs pretty good,  lil smoke when ya goose it, but runs and cuts pretty good.  I'm hoping the sickle bar will fit my dad's 702, it's a 50 inch bar.  Anywho, here's some pics a serial numbers if anyone has some additional info, or point me in the right direction,  would be appreciated,  thanks!!!

Super excellent find, man!

 

Love those little 8 horse Kohlers.

 

I don't have a way to decode the model number any better than you do but it's a 1974 or 1975.

Wow!  We’re you dressed in black with a mask when you bought it?  Sickle bars go for $400-$500 by themselves!  I got a nice sickle bar for my 753 at the big show and gave a little over $400 for it.  Just got it installed today and I’m loving it!!!!

      I don't have pictures yet but I can get some later. I know that will be helpful but I forgot to take them last night.
       
      So here's what I know.
      When I bought my c-160 last year it came with a plow. It was delivered to my house and the plow was not mounted on it. I never saw this particular plow on that particular tractor.
      The plow I have is 42 inches wide and has a full frame as most of them do.
      The angle lever has the Z shape to it, NOT a straight stick of metal, and also bends slightly back towards the operator.
       
      When I am pulling the angle lever towards me to change the angle of the plow it contacts the brake lever.
       
      Any thoughts?

      I have at least 7 hubs on different tractors that I would like to add a second set screw to.
       
      I have an older but good quality floor model drill press.
      I have the tap set.
      I don't recall ever using the tap set to do anything other than clean out threads. Not make my own thread set.
       
      Can anybody give any particular advice?

      I have a B80 that I acquired from a PO that had the PTO rod shortened and rewelded and the spring removed from the brake pad bracket. I replaced the rod with a non welded adjustable, and reworked the muffler with a 45 so then new rod would fit in. After researching manuals and forum i can only determine that i need to have a 1/8 or less gap between the clutch plate and the bell housing. I can adjust the trunnion all the way in and it seems that some pressure is applied to disk and going all the way out a less is applied. However all pictures i have seen most everyone has the trunnion at least half way up the rod and state that you engage the pto rod with a lot of force, that is not my case at all. Is the stub with the bell housing the problem, it looks like there is plenty of disk plate left.

      I have looked through all the manuals and forums I could find but am having a heck of a time trying to find out what size tires originally came on my 77 B80. I want standard size turf tires. Has anyone replaced theirs? What size and brand would you recommend? Any help would be appreciated.

      Also would like to purchase a sleeve/clevis hitch setup and a slot hitch setup for the same tractor.
