The 16G is probably the BEST Gravely 4-wheeler ever produced. I prefer the 16G (or 18G) over all other Gravely 4-wheelers. If that were my tractor (the 12G), I'd find a Kohler M18S from a Gravely, to replace that blown 12HP, and make it into a 16G. The transmission is the same in all the G's, and the only caveat is that whatever engine you get, it needs to be from a Gravely (for the mounting to the transaxle), OR, you need a Gravely adapter plate for the Kohler engine.

Thanks for checking out the video. I'm planning another restoration on the Wheel Horse, not showroom, but want it looking fresh again. I'll be sure to spend some time mixing and using my HVLP sprayer. It is so hot and humid now painting would be almost impossible, so planning to take it on soon as the weather cools.

Resealed the valve covers and gave a good cleaning to a buddy’s Kohler 7000 engine. It’s prolly a good engine but definitely not the high quality of the old Command unfortunately. The Kawi engines seem to be the best of what’s out there these days on something fairly new

@CraigArndt2 ай бұрын
There isn't any valve adjustments on these Kohler Command engines, they use hydraulically actuated lifters, so no adjustments are made. It is a good idea to make sure the valves are properly lapped and free of carbon, but that should be it.

Crazy that you only have 300 views after 3 days with 10 THOUSANDS SUBSCRIBERS!?? What the heck is going on with youtube? Try Looking for rub marks on the intake manifold. I JUST had the same problem and found that my exhaust shield was rubbing on the side of the intake manifold. A lot of people say that they end up developing leaks over time and need to be split and resealed. But I just cut a 1/4" x 3/8" section of the heat shield out that was right there and then filled the rub mark with Permatex 1 minute gasket maker and it's been good since. Also, my starter ring gear on the flywheel and the starter pinion weren't meshing well from day one. Well it's been missing late and finally gave out yesterday. All I had to do was pull the starter and put 2 washers between the starter mount holes and the engine mount holes and it moved it much closer with still good clearance and it fixed and sounds WAY Better now when it starts. It Doesn't have that metallic grinding sound anymore. Andrew
@CraigArndt2 ай бұрын
I’m getting comments on videos I did six, seven years ago and hardly anything on current videos. It’s maddening. I had the intake off thinking one of those chrome looking gaskets failed, but it was good. This surging all started when I put a new fuel filter on last year or soon after that. Maybe I dislodged some dirt, but I tore that carb down and cleaned it good. Hearing that surging makes me so angry LOL. Oh I need to check my starter ring gear as well, I noticed my flywheel had some outer teeth wear when I fixed my stator that was loose. I may need to add a couple washers, must be a thing with these engines. Have a good weekend Andrew.

Nothing should have changed except for losing reverse. I had to add some washers to align the pulleys so the belt didn’t keep coming off, but tine speed hasn’t changed. Not sure what could have happened there, unless you changed pulley diameters.

You got a lot of good stuff going on there. Your splitter looks like it's similar in size and capabilities to one we picked up a few seasons ago that was built by a logger up here in maine. It has served us very well. I've been considering adding a set of crossblades to the splitting section. Is that something you have thought about? I'll be looking forward to your Wheel Horse video. Between my other half and i, we have over a dozen. Hers are all from the 60s and mine are from the 70s, except for the one mid-80s with the backhoe that we share. If you need any help with paint colors or parts or advice I'm sure the folks on Red Square would be glad to help you out.
