Fireguy0311 20 #1 Posted July 18, 2019 Hey everyone! I just picked up my very first Wheel Horse. I got a 656 with a deck and blade. It runs decent, but I’m thinking I’ll rebuild the carb and throw a new air filter on there. I’ve been looking online, but was curious where the best sites to get parts are? Specifically for a carb rebuild kit? Thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,805 #2 Posted July 18, 2019 Welcome to Redsquare @Fireguy0311! That 656 should be powered by a Tecumseh engine. I had good luck tossing a Kohler carb on it, as the Tecky’s are known for being hard to tune. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,805 #8 Posted July 18, 2019 I believe that’s been repowered with a tiller or snowblower engine, hence the attached fuel tank. I have had good luck with snowblower engines because they run in generally clean environments.... but as far as tractor related engine parts go, it might get dicey. Pictures are worth a thousand words! Nice clean machine you’ve got there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldredrider 2,547 #13 Posted July 18, 2019 Personally, I wouldn't waste my time rebuilding a Teccy carb. New ones are as cheap as a rebuild kit and they work well. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, I just pulled that thing off. It’s it rough shape. Anyone know where I can get a new one of these? I’d like to replace that entire assembly if I could. All the springs are busted.

Fireguy0311 20 #20 Posted July 28, 2019 Thanks for all the help so far! I mowed for the first time yesterday and wouldn't you know it, all the belts except for my main drive belt broke... Not super surprised since they are about as old as I am. Does anyone happen to know the part numbers for the 2 deck belts and the belt that goes from the engine to the deck?

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,509 #22 Posted July 28, 2019 May not be the correct deck model number but the belts will be the same. Click on the pictures Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
