I haven't researched the snowblower yet. Is it direct drive from the PTO? - Today

Good point Lynn. Those old junk mule drives do make great front weight brackets, plow sway stabilizers, and reciever mounts. -
The only normal thing here...

Or you slam on brakes and have to have a K301 surgically removed...

Hang on to that small pedal or offer it for sale here. Someone is usually looking for one.

Share more details with us about the original carb. We may be a let walnut through a good rebuild
-
Thanks for all the excellent advice. The worst part of this is that the original carb was probably fine. The condenser went bad and it started running lousy when I idled up so I thought initially it was the carb. I attempted a rebuild of the carb and it didn't work out too well. Is there someone here who rebuilds carburetors, or are there good rebuild kits that aren't coming from China that are good quality? Thanks again..

Chipping away at my Stallion

I probably already own 25% of the entire Wheelhorse 520hc fleet in Australia! I'm yet to find another one. I bought it because I had land that needed a small tractor and mower. But I dont have that anymore, so really its just for the love of it.... (Until I buy a new place) -
Ah now it makes sense! Thanks guys, I had suspicions of that but never had a deck with the mower. That might get eliminated or changed some, I don't think I'll have a PTO attachment on this tractor.

I have quite a few threads on here over the years where I modify and fabricate different stuff on my tractors. While many are successful, there are alot of things I don't put up when they just don't work out. Of course for me this has been part of the learning process, and this is also part of the fun at times too. Of course very little of what I work with is free, and I have several machines so if one is down I have others to cover whatever work needs to be done. If I only had one, I'd likely not make so many modifications. Point being? You need a couple more tractors to rotate through the worker lineup. -
The smaller right side pedal acted as a manual PTO on many models mower decks from 1961 through 1967. Mainly used on rear discharge decks with a cross shaft and bevel gear setups, 32 and 36 inch widths.

engages mowing deck etc.

Good advice and lots of experience here. I purchased a new carb for my 414-8 from I save tractors and the fuel line fitting would not tighten so they sent me another one. The new one worked fine but the tractor would not run so I removed it and took it apart, cleaned it up and it had a piece of fiber in the main jet. It has now been running fine for probably 3years. I did save my original and have had offer from EB for rebuild and may take him up on it when this one wears out. It

I can't seem to figure out what the right side pedal does on the tractor, it has a spring but doesn't seem to be connected to anything important, the left side engages the clutch and the brake. Can someone point me in the right direction?
-
While it won't make much difference in clearance, I wonder if you installed the chains with the hooks biting the tires for a reason.
-
I was looking at spacers similar to the ones from Jegs. I think that’s the route I’m going to take. Here’s a pic to show how close the chains are. I think a 1/2” will give it enough clearance to be good. I appreciate all the input

As an engineering project manager I'm constantly battling the ego of "but I can make it work" and the pragmatic "it was a bad call from day one and continues to be a waste of money". I'm generally okay with it. -

Absolutely! I have been watching Ken Burns Civil War and it is fascinating! I’m actually about to celebrate my first year of being a US citizen on January 14. Moved down here in 1999 from Canada for my job. -

Got the steering in today… Temporary fabricated sleeve for that… Till One shows up from the parts store. Hydraulics are fit in place after cleaning and painting those and the steering is feeling really nice. -
He was looking for and found some wheel spacers for his mud mower he built out of a b-80. Thanks guys
