Yeah I've been wanting to get that set up on my wheel horse but I ain't never got a chance to yet always love watching you guys' videos you guys are awesome masters of the small tractors I like it
Hello, do the Wheel horse tractors have a differential that you can lock manually or why do both wheels always spin in the mud? It would be stupid to drive on the road with a rigid axle... Greetings from Germany
@@captain_315 Ah okay, thanks! Do you know what the difference is between an 18hp and a 12.5hp twin || Is? According to the label, mine only has 12.5 hp. Can it be easily converted to 18 hp? E.g. Just replace the crankshaft or is the engine a completely different one? I think the 18 hp has the same cc? I would now also like to switch to a larger carburettor (Kohler) and perhaps a better flywheel. I can't get any information anywhere on the internet about the difference between Twin II 12.5hp, 16hp and 18hp. Greetings from Germany!
@@PA_Niki If I remember correctly, all the opposed twins are the same bore (minus a super rare big bore oddball) and the 12.5 and 16hp are the same stroke. The 12.5 was just a 16hp with smaller carb, maybe cam too? The 18hp has a longer stroke, youd have to change the crank and/or pistons and rods to match. Same thing with going to a 20.5- even longer stroke yet.
@@captain_315 Well Mine isn't Modded Other then the seat. I Just Changed the Drive Belt again .Had a little Prob Forgot you needed to remove step. I'm gettin old . LOL JJ
@@brandoncodling6804 you can use 7/16”-20 x 2” (or longer if you need them) fully threaded tap bolts. Run them theough the back of the hub with a lock washer or green locktite. That’s how I did my gt14

We disassemble the transmission and weld up the differential. They hold up just fine (most of the time) but need a good front tire to help it turn

Wow, this should have made a day and night difference! What exactly did you do for mods and what kind of riding are you doing?

Grate video first timer here I got to do some belt hard for my wheel horse but question where do you find wheel spacers for your wheel horse
5 x 4.5 bolt pattern is perfect- basically Ford and dodge car pattern
@@captain_315 where did you find your studs to fit threw your spacer to your hub on your wheel horse

What idler pulleys sre you using?
GM serpentine belt system. I tried cutting the top idler to help the belt stay in line- dont bother doing that haha.
Where Can buy a brake pls
What spacer are on the rear
1" wide 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern (most ford and early dodge)
