cant argue with the results! Id take that tractor over a new one ANY DAY!

They dont make small TRACTORS like this anymore

FYI I have a 1968 Case 155 I plan to restore some day. Until then I use it many times a week just doing chores around my house. Its my favorite tool!

I love these kind of videos thanks for making them! I just was wondering You have never had problems cutting threads with WD-40? I'm sure it works well. I just always made cleaner threads using cutting oil..

I would love to see it restored

The problem is it's a Kohler engine, how do I know? Because I worked for them for 25 years.

Congrats on getting that tractor running, driving and cutting! I’d probably do a full restoration and put a high price tag on it, enjoying it until the right buyer came along. If you think your son would appreciate it some day, maybe paint his name on it and tell him some day he’ll be old enough to drive it. Just make sure to start teaching him how to maintain it now!😉🔧👍

A way to remember which is which is think about the phrase, “drill and tap”. Another way (for us up North), is “tapping” sugar maples for sap. I don’t think sorghum is tapped down South. 😉 How about “tapping” that keg? 😁

The carb is from china. Original carb.

I say give it a fresh coat of paint, and let your kids pass it down to their kids. Awesome job on getting this old work horse back into service.

Nice job 👍

Your videos are fine. Your work is fine. I don't know why Wheel Horses aren't all over the south but I've never seen one down here. My little brother had one in Michigan that he swore by. He's gone but I bet his son is still using that beast. LOL Thank you for the videos. I used to be a collector also but between my health and thieves I can't even cut my sisters' grass anymore. But I still get to watch y'all fix them.

Hopefully you see this. I have a 96 4wd I'm doing an SM465 swap into. It would be neat if you did a video on finishing up the little things with the manual swap. Like installing the new driveshaft, where you got it/if you had it custom made and the price. Also the reverse wiring/speed sensor. If you plan on getting those working, I'd like to see how you adapt it into the existing automatic wiring. Good video man, I'd say you did a fantastic job especially without a lift and a trans jack.

Do a raffle for the mower with your viewers. $5 bucks a ticket. If they are local they can pick it up if they are far donate it to a local baseball field.

Thats a fine machine, you did a great job with it Sir.

I like my 416-8 but it will never cut as good as my zero turn I use both.Well till today the horse decided it would not let spark get to the plugs.So I mowed with my ltx 1050 that I got for free.And the horse loves it's fuel.

Great two videos

Wow brother. I think you got lied to lol. NOT FUNNY 😂😂

May I ask what you do for a living

Why i do not like China. Taiwan at least has served better for me.

🇦🇺great job again

I have been watching your videos for the past month and have noticed how you are improving in your editing and recording. Excellent work. Enjoy your content and look forward to your next video. Also may I ask what software you use for editing? Thanks and have a great day. JC

That switch that looks like points is probably a low oil safety switch, fill the engine with oil and see if it runs properly.

I would restore it to original. Thanks for the video. 👌👌👍👍

It's a die. Tap's make internal threads

I think you should restore it and use it for tractor shows which would be awesome

I hate how they make those starter gears out of plastic so they just grind away I just replaced one on my simplicity. Love how it’s Turning out nice work man

I commented on your last video about having the lawn business that paid my way through college. Well, after I graduated my dad bought one of these with a 42" cut and used it until he passed in 2001, so probably at least 23 years of continuous use and he never had an issue. These were great mowers.... - Brian

Geezum, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve experienced spending fifteen minutes getting a bolt out, rather than spending five minutes to do it another way. Lol

That is the dye part of the set

Happy Labor Day Union Man…good to see the video

The fun part is removal of the bolt that is under the flywheel I've been there did that many times on the vertical shaft Briggs and Stratton opposed twin cylinder engine

Not bad for an old mower. Would enjoy your channel much more if you would leave out the cursing. I see no need for it.

Yeah those Trans axles are a lot of fun working on. i have a MTD rider that I gave to my daughter when she bought her first house. I replaced the carb, fuel lines, fuel filter, 2 tires, all the belts, both spindles and blades, and reworked the trans axle. I did this due to slipping. Problem solved...except i forgot to tell her that there was an oil leak that I didnt have time to get to. Then I delivered it to her house and completly forgot to tell her to check the oil frequently. I got ran out of oil, something broke inside, so she bought a new mower and the MTD is sitting in my backyard waiting for me to aquire a new engine. 17.5 to 20 HP. LOL live and learn!

Allegedly, the more you trip a breaker, the weaker they get and will trip easier, no idea if its true, just something ive always heard

Beautiful work done on her

I had the same problem with the steering locking up on my 111 also

I'm another one for restore.Keep it original it's a classic

Just. Found your channel. Awesome job keep them coming....

You know I think you should date my sister. She would be into this. She lives in your area too….

My dad had a 111 years ago. Bought it out of a junk pile for $100. Mowed with it for an entire season smoking like a freight train and then had the engine rebuilt. Miss that mower. Only reason we got rid of it is because the deck rusted out completely.

I started a lawn cutting business at age 10 with an 8HP Wheel Horse Hydrostatic Transmission tractor. Wore that out after about 5 years and purchased a Wheel Horse 8HP 4 speed. I had that business from age 10 to 21 when I graduated college. Paid my way through school with that business and those Wheel Horse tractors. Both were only 36" cuts but they did the job. I loved those things. They will always be close to my heart. Thanks for posting these videos as they bring back fond memories - Brian

Why didn't you replace that bent pulley on the deck?

It was Kmart that sold those👍

You had to know you were going to have to clean the carburetor and possibly rebuild it. You got it for fifty bucks, you stole it. For fifty bucks I wouldn’t even sell it. Sweet deal !

paint the grille black like the original ones and new decals but otherwise great build dude

in all my years of messing with small engines ive only seen 3 american made sparks plugs fail where the spark plug failed without an egine problem the chinese spark plugs however ive had 4 of them fail in 6 different motors i think the longest lasting one was in a pressure washer it lasted about 45 maybe 50 hours before it failed all the others failed in less than 20 hours now when i buy some chinese gasoline powered whatver the first thing i do is change the spark plug and inspect the air filter if it looks junky i change it

Love the videos. I'm a follower of Mustie and really enjoy your similar style of small engine repair. Entertaining and educational. Keep it up!

Great Vids!! Question; On the New carb choke- could you switch arms from old carb?

You didn't install a fuel line shut off valve?
