Something tells me you didn't spend the afternoon on a black roof in this heat! -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Old gear oil out, then a kerosene flush and drain…now the fresh stuff goes in. 1978 C-81 - Today

I considered buying a Corvette in 1970 until my insurance agent explained that I had to choose between a Vet or eating, at 25 with a few moving violations on my record insurance was going to be more than the car payment and my mortgage combined. The new Chevy pick-up I bought instead was real nice.

Let’s talk TIRES

I mowed with the new 1989 312-8 with stock 15 x 6.00 fronts and 22 x 9.00 rears until 2000 on a 1/2 acre lot and a 42 SD deck. Striped the lawn nicely. Tractor was a pleasure to mow with coming from a rear engine Ariens. Like night and day. The 312-8 has basically been retired since 2000 with an occasional cruise around the yard. -
That's pretty much what we did. When we bought the new camper last fall one of the immediate modifications was to put larger and more heavy duty tires on it. I went from a 14 to a 15 and if I recall correctly, two sizes wider. That stepped up my Tire carry capacity quite a lot. I also bought two extras. Four new rims and four new tires total. I'm hoping I never have to use one, much less both. And if that's the case it was still worth every cent just for the Peace of mind. But they will be rotated into the wear pattern for about 5 to 7 years depending on cracking. After that, yard usage or trash.

That system has been used by Wheel Horse for years, primarily on Briggs powered B & C series tractors. Here is a thread I did a few years ago that shows how simple it is.

Your charging system has a diode that feeds the fuel shut-off solenoid while the engine is running. The solenoid is fed directly from the key switch in the start position. Take a look at the VIOLET colored wired from the charging system to the fuel solenoid and its diode.

Yes I do! Remember when I picked.the truck up with my new trailer and we talked about my spare tire on it being one of the take offs from my camper. The other day I walked past it to find it blown out hanging as a spare ive got 2 brand new Carlisle now.for spares. No more messing the them junk tires...

I used WH numbers 110172 and 111726 to find these at Amazon. Hope the link works. https://www.amazon.ca/8TEN-Spindle-Discharge-Recycler-48-Inch/dp/B0CHK4JJXF/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=JRNFJYHPOWZ3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.LRJvM72h6lGQ-ty0s9WUCc2cRm1Mrwcxred6HKsIkCE_a4JLgoOzdkysSfKXorEkkexCFd5cyGzzhUcxPqmvY6e-0vWJI9t2KCiXCb9RqA68s7hwZQtEfCLq831j2RJ-1PQSLIOLlsnv7NJG0v0jTYjGlRsQyvmslvmuybp2FIfI1RG1BulTZD0NKQtmHacFHuhCGj8isyR5xTyPDVhtYZ4mw4AAGSrDJ6XPi7Rlc1_ZL_VpI_MzdO-QLDsSKj8D-rHGUSprqawRllr6EPvVTp0OCKD5Y2hHk7tjOk8_-g8.7iDJT4eDdbLFofww5ByzupxikV6BjOQukexSX_Q8VIA&dib_tag=se&keywords=110172+spindle&qid=1782848729&sprefix=110172+spindle%2Caps%2C169&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 Toro still has them but are very proud of them. https://www.partstree.com/parts/toro-110172 You would still need a double pully of the correct diameter and blades.

I remember that line. Russell wasn’t my favorite for much of his comedy, but this was a good one.
-
Elegant, especially since it permitted combining other safety switches in that circuit.
-
They use a battery style ignition switch to power a kill relay to control the magneto ignition.
-
You are correct. I saw an I terminal on the switch instead of the M and thought battery.

Tranny Brake Shaft Seal
Thegearhead0324 replied to Thegearhead0324's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
@rmaynard Would you happen to have a part number for their seal? -
Welcome to Red Square. In your search look for spindles that will use blades with a round hole. The Wheel Horse later used blades with a 3/4" center hole which are very common and easily available. The blades with the double-D 5/8" x 3/4" center hole like yours are next to imposable to find.
-
Does the xi series have a powered ignition? I thought those had a magneto?

Make sure your red wire is hooked up the carb anti backfire solenoid and you can hear an audible click when turning it to the run position.

Deleted previous info. Misread the schematic...

@maine home those belts are showing you the way , looks like total collective drag failure , have any help on this ? like someone that owns a similar set up ? would also bet the mule drive bearings , and pto spindle needle bearing is dry , hanging up , thats typically the engine heat , destroying lubrication , minimising belt driven spin up , actually not a bad job , done a few , my experience , is to change out all related lubrication in every bearing , lucas x tra hd , green chassis grease ? 550 deg flash point , polyurea rated , to stay with bearings , done this on 3 decks , never failed again , or make noise . you do not know what the bearing lube is , original fill is based on cheap , dollar saving stage of assembly, they will work , but will soon be whyining with noise. why not eliminate that stage ? only my experience on related failures , experienced helper , will really , save it , pete

I get mine from NAPA auto parts. They are made from steel as opposed to Toro which are plastic.

We bought the carlstars. Seems good. Barring unforeseen issues I'd buy those again.

Why don't you quit screwing around and step it right up to a 24. Imagine all that extra speed.
