What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Ain't enough snakes around here. Wish we had more. -
More pictures of the diesel wiring

Yes. If it's a "blackhood" that'd be the third in the C series. It's pretty simple. The belt wraps around the outside of all 3 pulleys. Engine, idler, and transmission. The MOST important thing is that the belt GUARD is the belt GUIDE. No belt guide means no belt support means no ability to correctly clutch.

I have had several WD-40s give out while half full. I clamp them in a vise, drilled a 1/8" hole in them with the hole facing away from me just in case and once I know there is no pressure I drill another hole opposite the first and pour the fluid into a plastic trigger spray bottle.

Lucky!!!

restoring spray can pressure

This beats throwing it on the ground and stepping on it!! I remember years ago a can of WD-40 went bad so my father in law threw it on the ground and stepped on it. He then picked it up and it sprayed like new! Right then and there I remember thinking I’ll never forget about this, and I haven’t! I’ve used this technique many times over the years and have done it in front of other people who thought the same thing I did when I first saw it! Of course it might not get every drop out, but in a pinch when you just need a little more it works. -

All cleaned out. Next step is to pull the whole thing backwards a few feet for better front half access and get the rollers out. Reinstall the air cleaner and try to start it. -
What did you do today?

Started clearing out some brush and growth for a new shed location today. Used my nastiest bent up ground-down 42” plow. -
I got fed up with several WD-40 cans that ran out of propellant befor the fluid did. So I bought a 1 quart HFT refillable sprayer that has a Schreader valve you can use a compressor to add air - at any time. Use a funnel after puncturing the discharged can - good to go. Makes for a great spray down device to fog the lathe & milling machine....

Dad's 702 was a 4 season worker for him. It does not smoke, but will oil / carbon buildup foul the spark plug. It will run , then poorly until you shut it down. Then the spark grounds out to the plug shell thru thru the buildup. Pull the plug, clean it & reinstall - almost good as new. Note that using an inline zenon bulb tester WILL show that it has spark - it just does not bridge the plug gap...

Yeah, it ain't looking good but late Thu / Fri should tell

Check gas cap vent...?

You should add a lot more details about what's going on for a lot better internet diagnosis. Is the brake pedal locked down by the parking brake lever?

I have several spray cans penetrating oil and about half of them no longer spray. I have decided that two things happened. 1. They have lost pressure and 2. The straw inside the can has became disconnected. Some time ago I posted how I restored paint spray cans and I used the same system for penetrating oil. I use a tire valve stem that slips over the straw sticking out of the top of the can and while pressing down, use air chuck to inject air into the can. You may actually hear the bubbles inside the can of oil. Although I have never burst a can, I am cautious not to inject too much air. If the straw inside had become disconnected, turn can up side down and use it like the second picture shows. If you opt to use this on spray paint cans, you might want to wear plastic gloves. The pink paint on my fingers wasn't too becoming to a fellow like me.

This is all the way up. Anyone see any reason I NEED a 3” longer belt? I figure I’ll grab whatever I can find at the farm store between 87 and 90” long. IMG_5008.mov -

I got no argument with that -
My first 856 would not move when I let the clutch out. Turned out to be the Woodruff key was missing from the input shaft.

Pullstart replied to Pullstart's topic in Implements and Attachments
Thanks to Wheel Horse being utilitarian (I think that’s the word), that idler was used on mower decks and snow blowers alike. I popped one off a blower in the parts yard, and stuck it on. My belt is very old, worn, and cracked, but still works. It’s 5/8” x 87”. The manual suggests a 90” length. Could the 3” difference be made up with my top link? The 87” belt makes this setup run fairly close to the fender, but it never touches. -

Something has always bugged me on the tiller belt. Today I decided to look into the details of the parts break down. Come to find out, the belt has always rubbed on the bottom of the fender pan because it was missing an idler pulley in the setup. I always just made sure to stop the drive belt before lifting the tiller up. -
Ugh! I sure hope this is wrong …
