It worked if the thumping of the flat spotted tire isn't a deal breaker. Not like it was a total flat spot, just not totally round.

That sounds very good!

Supper was home scratch made Chicken Alfredo. The "noodle" was spiraled fresh zucchini. Fresh grated parmesian cheese. Mushrooms and tomatoes. Low carb. Keto friendly and Paleo friendly. DELICIOUS.

The lift arm hits that zerk. Some of the later model Wheel Horse had a hole drill in the lift rod for a waher and clip pin to keep it away,

I'm in the process of replacing the drum rollers for the third time in daughter's dryer. It get's a lot of use with family of five. This time I'm replacing the "axles" the roller rotate on which requires digging quite a bit deeper into the machine. I'm thinking about using dry graphite on the "axles". Of course, replacing rollers means deep cleaning that otherwise wouldn't get done. It irks me that there seems to be planned obsolescence in machinery. I'm sure two dollars more for sealed bearings would make sure they'd last the life of the machine. Those handles are a great add-on.

1993, the first year I subcontracted to my local township to plow snow. I bought a 1968 6500 series GMC with a 10’ Good Roads funnel plow. No body on the back, just a 3’x4’x8’ block of solid concrete on the frame. Gavinized corrugated window well covers for rear fenders.401 V-6 gas engine and a 5+2 speed. V-bar Tire chains on 10.00x20 rubber. I’d go places the town trucks wouldn’t dare to because of those chains. That winter we had plowable snow at least once a week and some pretty major storms. I think I paid for the truck in the first month! I remember one of those storms plowing 30 hours straight, can’t imagine doing that now. During that particular storm I stopped back to the highway barn after being out for I don’t know how many hours. The highway department trucks were idling with several inches of snow on them. When I poked my head in the break room they were all sleeping. For some reason I had a pack of firecrackers in my truck, not sure why but I did! Yup, I went back got them, lit them and threw them in the room where they were all sleeping 🤣 then hauled ass! When I came back at the end of the storm some guys thought it was funny and some definitely didn’t! Anyway it gave all of us something to talk about for years to come!!! Just one more of my countless snowplowing stories😂…………………

Should be a 1/4-28 thread.

Good luck. Renault is notorious for being difficult to track down parts. Any #'s on the original? These folks may be of some help. Continental is the 2nd worse at identifying parts with Renault at #1. When I was in the parts business we didn't have the internets like we have today. It was just starting out . http://www.continentalengineparts.net/ https://www.continentalengines.com/

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Lane Ranger replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I think your problem is in the metal slide that rides back snd forth! I have had this problem before! The oblong holes in the metal slide bar become wallowed out! You need a new or better used bar. I bought mine new from Toro as i had a good deck i wanted to preserve. That was about 8 years ago and i am still using that 48 inch deck with no belt issues! Replace the nylon busing also if they are worn! The lower hole in your photo shows a knotch that is a worn spot ! -
Day late…sorry. Saw your post above, sounds like you had a good birthday!!

I would start by removing the belt and sliding the tensioner by hand to see if it slides smoothly and that the spring is applying even pressure. Then I would sight across the deck to make sure the idler pulley is on the same plan as the spindle pullies. If that all checks out and all of it turns freely, I would want to leave the guards off and watch it run to see if I could tell what the cause is. -
Looks like that's the only thing the previous owner did lube..

The D-250 engine is actually a Renault 4 cylinder car engine.......

Busted Zerk Fitting On Mower Deck
ri702bill replied to hotajax's topic in Implements and Attachments
Most likely 1/4-28 fine thread - maybe 1/8 NPT. You can try using an Easy-out to extract the broken piece. -

That rusty slide might be keeping the belt tightner from working proper., That type of deck should have plastic bushing on the bolts holding the slide. -
The "word on the street" is that newer Kenmore dryers were cost reduced where the thermal fuse is now inside the plenum and non-serviceable for singular replacement. You now need to drop a pair or Bemjamins for the whole plenum assembly - did i mention it is also not a take-apart design to allow cleaning anymore.....

Does anyone know if the starter off a D250 will cross-reference to anything that you can buy today?

So I have a 48 inch deck to fit on my 314-8, The zerk for the center pulley ( i. e. the big pulley that drives 2 belts ) has a broken zerk. Center of the zerk that fits into the grease gun snapped off, and I have a big open hole the piece that's still threaded into the pulley. Do you gents know the thread sizes for the zerk that goes into the pulley? I'm sure it's a common size, but I don't know what it is. Thanks.

Ed Kennell replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Is the belt tensioner working properly? The near bolt seems to be at the end of the slot. Could that broken spot in the upper pulley be catching the belt and throwing it off? I've used broken pulleys but always rounded off any sharp edges so the bels don't catch. -
@ri702bill nicely done on that !! , no matter what , a repetitive problem is , its showing you the way , to correct it , make it better . https://www.google.com/search?q=screw+in+eye+bolt+rings&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS866US866&oq=screw+in+eye+bolt+rings+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYO added these to my shed framing , for a spring hook to hold my mower decks off season . makes heavy awkward holding easy . out of the box , pete

It looks a little wet there, and ground conditions are important to good plowing.
