Really. Really?

 

That wouldn't by chance have been you though right??

Cuz you'd never rip your own wires out. 

That would be just silly. 

I mean who'd do that....

 

I wouldn't. 

I've NEVER done anything like that. 

:ROTF:

 

 

 

Well as for a source of parts for the newer machines. (My "new" one is a '75)... 

Maybe @JCM or @953 nut could recommend a solid place...

You have made a neglected old nag into a prize thoroughbred!         :text-coolphotos:       I doubt that you are likely to neglect your oil level so wouldn't loose any sleep over the oil sentry switch.   I had a couple of them for sale a few years back but they sold out. You could probably find a NOS switch on :techie-ebay: for $ 50.00 or more, that is what I was selling them for.

I'm confused, and a little ignorant on the subject of oil switches. Does this K321 have an oil switch?

@953 nut might be the better one to answer that. I'm thinking just run the wire to a place that has power "key on".

Welcome to the world of Wheel Horse.   This is a great site which you have already found out.  WH tractors are scarce here in Tennessee also but like you over the years I have been able to find what I want.

 

I just rebuilt an M10 off a 312-8 and decided to not reinstall the oil switch.  Reasoning - it is not needed if you religiously check the oil before each start which I do.  Installation is tricky and if done wrong can cause interferrence and engine damage.  There is no connection between the oil switch and the hour meter.

@Gregor so why do you think my meter stoped working, i thought it was because of the oil switch because i saw a right up about a guy having the same situation and he was told it was because his oil switch was bad?

      I was given a 314H in trade for some work. Love the tractor but I cannot tell what Sleeve hitch adapter will fit the hydro. Will one for a 314-8 fit. What do I need to attach to the deck lift? I've read hundreds of posts on here and figured this is where to find the experts. Thanks in advance.

      Good day WH fans, 
       
       
      My dilemma is this, my first Wheel Horse a nice 314-h with 80 hours. Bought from the second owner with the story of the original owner. This spring I was about to service her and well I looked on the clock, it now sits at 97 hours. This WH comes from up in Maine. I have it now in southern Maryland. I hate to beat up a nice old tractor like it is sitting at under 100 hours she is just too nice to use. Or is she just another WH? 
       
      Here is the question, do I park it as surviving "under 100" hour tractor? or sell it? I would only consider selling to a collector. FYI I have both a second WH, a well-used 417-8 and would consider a trade for another WH.

      Well, most of the regulars here are aware I will be relocating this Spring/Summer. I had hoped to take the remaining collection of tractors with me. However more and more it is becoming obvious that this plan wont work out for numerous reasons. As such, once I make up my mind as to which one to keep, I will be posting the remainder as well as most parts etc up for sale in the Forum Classifieds and CL.
       
      As I hope shows in poll info, I have 2 Stage Blower, Restored 48 & 60 inch(195) decks, 54 inch blade, GT14 style Tiller and a project Sickle Bar. The Sickle BAr can likely be made to work on the GT14 style tractors and the C160.
       
      I enjoy working on them but as I get older I may not have time or ability to do so. As such, maintenance and parts and ease of use of a single tractor are part of the equation.
       
      A couple of these I have poured a lot of time into but I am not emotionally tied to them and I believe if I relocate back east where Grass and tractor need becomes more necessary, I can re-create them.
       
      So help me out with my decision. 
       
      A couple pics of the beasts in question:

      I have a leak on the elbow that screws into the front of the lift valve. Does anyone know how that is sealed? I looked at parts tree at it doesn't show an o-ring or seal?  The elbow is Toro part number 108365. Part #1 on the diagram. Thanks for the help.

      I just discovered the belt tensioner is out of alignment with the PTO pulley and the hydro pulley so much so that the belt is riding up on the right side edge of the idler cutting the back side of the drive belt. The console cover plate has actually worn the width of the tensioner lever on the right side of the cover. It's as if the shaft was made too narrow. Has anyone encountered anything like this before? The idler needs to be shimmed over but the shaft is not long enough.

      While I am on this topic why is it these tensioners are not used with the Onan applications just the Kohler? I'm thinking maybe the added resistance to turn over the bigger piston in the cold temps I don't know
      Thanks
