Purchased my 843 when I retired to replace an older Massey tractor I use around the property. With some tinkering, it's my workhorse. I'm currently looking to replace the rubber pads that cover the attachment levers to keep the debris out.

This was very hard to shift !!! You could go from 2nd gear to reverse if you weren't careful !!

I hate this design! The bolt is completely stripped and I can’t get the plate out to get to the battery. 🤬

Where did you get the connector?

I have a suggestion regarding the accelerator pump cover plate where the diaphragm is. Folks often don't notice it but sometimes they are warped out of true. Both mating surfaces must be true for a guaranteed positive seal. This is something you may choose to examine very closely. Just don't eyeball it quickly, look very closely. On occasion, folks will even find fine cracks that they never noticed. DO NOT forget to examine the base of the carb body too. It doesn't happen very often but they too can be warped out of true. Of course, as you mentioned, the replacement parts coming out of places like China are also seriously problematic due to their poor quality. You're often lucky to get 6 to 12 months out of a lot of the Chinese built crap. As a repair tech myself, believe me when I say I know exactly what you're dealing with and I've experienced your plight too many times to count. With a company I was working for about 10 years ago, all they bought was the Chinese made crap because it was the cheapest they could lay their hands on. They never did get it through their skull that what they were doing was actually costing them money over the long run because of maintenance techs would have to go back and replace the parts again and again. They figured that didn't matter due to the cheap price of the parts but what they forgot the calculate in was the time for the maintenance tech. Ultimately, they were wasting money but they just didn't care. Some folks might say that such was job insurance for me and the other guys but that also wasn't going to be a problem with the never-ending supply of work as it was. The truth is it was often difficult to keep up with everything from one day to the next already! Anyway, here's to hoping you sort out your troubles!

Great video, friend. Appreciate the help

Gracias por tu muy buena información me gusta como lo explicas muy bien gracias

Screaming demon Detroit diesel, drop in, this is one of my favorite trucks. I had a 1952 brockway with Continental gas six, veri lg. 6 cyl. 10 spd. 1200 series tires12-22s 5th wheel.

Needs big block

Those cheap-0 pumps don't last one season 😣 It's hard to find decent ones anymore. Glad you could find some wrench time Andy 🔧

Imagine cramming a detroit 8v71 in this

Did you happen to record the engine removal process. I have a fire damage 843 I want to restore. And need to know how bout starting the process.

That's a fine forklift good man -stephen

just randomly found you love from india

One good step forward Andy! 😁👍 Check out my buddy J.C Smith, he has quite a few videos on moving an axle forward 🔧

That was a lot of elbow grease getting those off. One step closer to having a new (repurposed) piece of equipment. 🎉

I've got two of these, the originals, in my 1981, 36 ft Tri-cabin Trojan yacht. These things purr like kittens and I have used them to take my boat from MDR to Catalina Island eight times in the last 4 years. I maintain them and they run and start like they're brand new. Great motors. Thanks for the great and informative video!

Could a malfunctioning belt tensioner cause the check engine light to go on? I'm having a very similar sounding issue to yours, but it only happens in below freezing temperatures and the check engine light went on!

Vevor is still selling this model for $227, free shipping. I've considered buying one to replace my plain lever Jet ( made in Japan) 3 ton Arbor press. I have a large ratcheting Famco that I mostly use for broaching. I'd be interested in knowing how well this one has held up

How much time did it take you to complete this build?

A few setbacks here or there with the strut breaking and the clamp falling off, BUT you done a great job Andy! 😎👍 Clean install my friend. 🔧

Where did you get the cylinder rebuild kits? I have a CL340 and both the tilt and lift cylinders are leaking.

Choke was half on and that's why surging

2500 lbs

My 843 just started leaking oil from the dip stick hole. It starts and runs good but when temp gets up oil begins spewing. Thanks for any suggestions

Don't sneeze while you're under there, you might get a face full of rust lol. Thanks for the helpful video I'm about to install a pair of these.

Hi Andy! I'm considering doing this for a similar situation, but to force the furnace the blow warm air from our wood stove. What would happen if you turned the heat on when the furnace fan is turned off via the switch? Should still work, right?

Great video. You made it look relatively easy. Question. What did you do about sealing the structure? Thanks.

Hey buddy great video!! I have a question for you I have a 2012 Kawasaki bayou 220 and I need to buy a new ignition switch but I notes there are 2different switches one have two wire and the other have multiple wires I’m trying to order the switch and have it here before I take the old one out. Do you know which is the correct one for my year? Tnx

I ditched the silicone they provided and used black rtv gasket maker when I assemble mine because I heard similar reviews about the water pan leaking. Mine has been together for almost 2 years with zero leaks so far. Cool video.

I have a MF50e. Aster I turn it on and drive it and it gets to temperature it stops moving. Suggestions potential problem. Thank you

where is the vent line for toilet?

Dude, dump those leaky, old-style calipers and upgrade to the Wilwoods. Not only is the braking performance significantly better, but they also take about 35 lbs off the car. I have the 6-piston fronts and 4-piston rears on my '81 and '82 CE, they were a great investment. Also, they use the standard vette pads, come with new stainless hoses and hardware.

Thanks for the video! About to change my 2015 battery now here in 2024. Do you have to do any software reset?

Glad you had help from the *Master Apprentice* 😎👍 Nice job Andy 🔧

You did a good job on the brakes something I used to hate doing. well they were drum brakes when I worked on the brake system, there were disk brakes but I seem to get all the drum brakes to do

The mortar It will not stick , all tar should come off first,,,amatuer at best,cheers...i do thus for a living ,38 years , . Also ? Use better rubberized dampproffing,2" rigid insulation prior to backfilling , tar goes rigid after it cures,is no good,. Its 2024 use better materials,...yoyo...

That thumb went to war for our freedoms.

Looks like he might have accidentally filled it up with diesel.

How much did you pay for the generator?

He couldn't pull that string hard enough.

The upper fender mount/firewall was cracked on my F350. I think it was from the previous owners lifting the cab at that point. I ended up having to cut a whole section out of a donor truck and then rebuild the area. Nice and solid now.

you have help me solve the problem

Haven't watched the whole video yet, but I hope you fix those rotten studs.😮 8:28

Where did you get parts I cannot find them anywhere

That's gunna come in handy! 😎👍

Probably one of the best Wheel Horse videos I have come across! Having WH tractors since 1984 they aren’t too complicated until you get to the 520H wiring. Restored a 520H earlier this year and wiring was mostly intact. Sold to new owner who was going to use it for Shows. Last week bought a ‘96 520H and the wiring harness is there but safety switches have been bypassed and additional wires added with some just twisted together. Owner could not get it running so bought it for $150 with 60” deck. Have color coded wiring diagram but could quite figure how to get to relays without pulling engine. Your video was a tremendous help. Great job with taking the time to explain everything in detail. Kudos to you! Thanks….😊

Unless ur going to keep doing that u may want to check defrost

Some jobs can be rough, glad you still got it fixed Andy 😎👍
