Claw hammer works great

I finally figured it out, i had the positive cable on the multimeter in the mA spot instead of the 10A spot.

The valve I posted works with a cord from the valve to the float so there's no rigid connection to the valve. They can cannonball all they want and the cord will flex. Plus the float is filled with water to adjust the swing from fill to full so It doesn't just completely float on the surface. Waves and such wouldn't be an instant hard shock to the float and it will bob on the surface. If you set it up so the float hangs inside of a piece of 3" PVC pipe, it won't be affected by waves at all.

How thick is the clutch lining on the plate? If is is around 3/32" to 1/8", you are good. 1/16" to 3/32", you are getting iffy. I'm assuming that the belt that is wearing is the one that comes off of the engine and drrives the deck. Other than maybe a severly worn pulley groove, the PTO clutch normally does not cause wear on the drive belt. Do all 3 spindles in the deck spin freely? Does the tensioning puelly on the belt spin freely? Do both pulleys in the mule drive spin freely? I was mowing one day and started smelling hot rubber. Turned out that i had a stick jammed in the mule drive that locked up one pulley. to the forum. You have found probably the best forum for Wheel Horse advice. Taken as a group, I believe that the regulars here have broken and fixed just about everything on a Wheel Horse that can be broken and fixed.

I never had any trouble getting them off but have had to use a little glue to keep them on afterward. Others may have a better solution to keeping them on, I hate to use super gliue on anything I think I might have remove again later on.

good deal. Ive overfilled before (not my 520H) but always just pulled plug and let a little out, but it can get messy. If you get it pretty close to full mark Just run her a little then check it. the 520H has become one of my favorite mochines and just love that Onan 20hp hum.

Appreciate the info sqrlgtr! I already let it sit overnight with a half-full funnel of oil stuck in the filler tube. I don't think the level is going down any on its own until things get going in there. I've been syphoning oil out with a small tube capped with my thumb. It's slow going but I'm down to about 1/4" over the F mark. Now that the oil is down into the case, (out of the filler tube), each draw drops the oil level less. ZT

might just be the way it looks in pic but are those hot spots on clutch plate face?

hard to tell in pic but is that shifter straight? I think those or 61 specific if it is but everything else points 604/704.... still worth a Ulysses Grant...

Good to see you have figured out how to post pictures and comments on your existing post. As stated above, the PTO bearing is not involved when the PTO is engaged. Are you sure you have the correct size belt? If the belt is too narrow it will bottom out in the pulleys and not grip the sides of the VEE as designed. Can you post a picture of the belt installed and how it fits in the PTO and deck pulleys?
-
If you're not in a hurry let set over night /next day, then check it. I would rather have it a little low as way to full myself. I changed mine back a month or so and took me about 3 days of checking, running, and sitting overnight and so on to get it where I wanted it . I am pretty OCD though...

Are you back home with it? We need pictures.

I’ve got a stock pile of more top soil and wood chips. I’d like to add another inch or two of soil, then chips. For now, I have them a good soaking drink. The little dirt rings for the roots are the best, per the parents.

My neighbor buddy moved down to north Alabama a few years ago. He’s back in town and posted on FB that they were thinning some of their flower garden and stop in to say hi. 5 hours later, we finished up our quick visit for this time. It was great to see Greg and his abundantly giving family! I hope I made his mother and father proud, planting their prized flowers the way they showed me, and giving them hair cuts to keep the energy into growing roots this year! Oh, and there were some sweet rides there, they are a hot rodding family and their friends are too!

What about the outer bearing on the PTO. They go bad quite often. Napa # PP204RR6

That's encouraging, Oliver! Would you not take the oil level down, at least to the full mark, before starting and running it around? While I saw no specific warnings on it in the TORO OM, is there any danger in operating the transmission if it's overfilled. I do understand your logic that if there is still some air in there, the oil level will go down on its own. ZT

Claw hammer, just pretend you are pulling a nail.

Im in the scranton PA area and Im to a point I'm so busy I just don't have the time I'd like to to work on my ol girl lacey the c 100 Got to thinking wonder what someone would charge me to do a once over on her girl get a good tune up carb rebuild and rebuild my mowing deck. And even if there would be someone in my area willing to take something on the this. Tia Corey McHugh -
I bought one from the old hobo freight some years back. Needed it for some motor work I was doing at the time and I'll tell yea what I do construction for a living and I use it constantly at work. Actually so often that when I do need it at home I find myself running out to the site and picking it up. And boy am I mad at myself when I forget to bring it back to work.

Thank you for the invaluable information.

Here you go.

I hope this is a good picture of it.

520H: Changing transmission oil & filter
oliver2-44 replied to ZTatZAU's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
As you said, it brim full, but it probable has some air in it. Start it and run it around until it's warmed up, operate the hydraulic lift cylinder multiple times. Let it cool, then check and adjust the oil level to read correctly on the dipstick.
