ebinmaine 71,566 #2 Posted September 4, 2020 Nice little worker beast right there. So do the headlights work? And does that engine have a charging system? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
305 380 #3 Posted September 4, 2020 thanks the headlights do work. the H70 i put on it i believe was from an Ariens snowblower and has no charging system , but a 12 volt starter was added. the color was left white . i will have to put a battery charger on it a couple times a season , or sooner if i mow in the dark. i am actually toying with the idea of adding a 12 volt permanent magnet alternator i don't think the Tecumseh snow king engine that was in it was ever really hooked up , but you can see where the hood was hacked for it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

305 380 #6 Posted September 6, 2020 yes , that's was his asking price. i was there the next morning with cash and a trailer. the wife said they had a lot of interest in it and maybe she should of gotten her husband to restore it. she was surprised when i told her my plan was to fix what needed fixing , get it running and mow. i told her these old Wheelhorse's you can't really wear them out....a belt , a pulley , a seal and a bearing and you are back in business i also used two rebuilt 1623 pulleys from Prondzy on it.....they work great 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
