Yessir. It'll be a bit before I get em set up. Should be very good though.
-
Agreed. Follow the @SylvanLakeWH rule!!
-
I think they're going to work out for you.
-
Actually @JCM I’m not talking about the Kwik-Way, my bad ! Mine is a Wheel Horse loader which I believe is actually made by Ark. I think I only took it off once before realizing it was easier to leave it on and just get more tractors for different attachments!!

Adding Grease Grooves in Steering Shaft
Wayne0 replied to ri702bill's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The only problem I see is the grease has a way to go out, not stay in. I think a radial groove would be better. Maybe with a couple short cuts in the shaft that don't go to the end. My -
The first few years I had just one tractor to do everything, I could install or remove the loader under a half hour. The front axle and spindles should be upgraded to handle the load, the 520H tractors have what is needed. Also. gear reduction steering will help a lot, the weight really makes it difficult to steer.

Good

Wow, never heard of such! Yay I learnt a new ting today!

They are limited to what they can do but come in handy for many tasks. Not a big deal to install and remove.

Adding Grease Grooves in Steering Shaft
ri702bill posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I decided to add shallow grooves on the steering shaft to retain grease under the welded-on gear. The coiled pin in the steering wheel did not want to budge, so I had to leave the upper end assembled. I had to do some creative fixturing but added five equally spaced shallow (.030 deep) grooves inline with the root of every other tooth of the gear using a ball endmill.- 1 reply

I don’t believe it does come with the 2 loader stands. I believe it has the weight box.

OK thanks that the part number I have also just wasn't sure about it. its like about 5/8 wide I seen on a post someone was using a 1/2 wide belt . id rather not used aftermarket.

Don.are you talking about the Kwik - Way off and on. The only tools you need is small open end / box wrenches for the pump and axle brackets. Not much work I found when I had mine. @c-series don

From my experience, once the loader is on that’s it. It becomes a dedicated loader tractor. You’re not switching attachments like you would mower to tiller, or tiller to plow. It’s a process to take that off or put it on. That being said, go get it and add another one to your collection!!

Ok I fixed it. I got it running better than it ever has since I’ve owned it. I can now run it with no choke on, and idle it way down without it surging. I’m not sure any one thing I did fixed it. I think it was a combination of things. First I took apart the original carb and cleaned it. I was able to reuse the original gasket that goes between the halves. Although the next time I take it apart I should probably buy the rebuild kit with a new gasket. Next I cranked it over with the fuel hose still disconnected from the carb. It seemed to not flow very well. Less than the gravity flow through a 1/4” like for sure. So I swapped out the new aftermarket fuel pump back to the original. Then tested it again. It seemed to flow quite a bit better with the original pump. At first when I put it all back together the carb bowl wouldn’t fill. So I popped the top off the carb again and shot some more carb cleaner through the needle valve on the float. I cranked it over and saw fuel filling the bowl so I put it back together. She fired right up and runs good. Now I can focus on my rear wheel spacers and getting chains on it. I guess my lesson here is beware of aftermarket parts. They’re not all the same spec as Onan. Most likely if I had just cleaned the carb and resealed the intake I would have been golden

I believe I have those items here.

@ebinmaine was just checking smaller ATV plows , probably closer to your , idea , pete
-
Does it come with weight box with both axle brackets ? How about the 2 loader stands if you want to remove it ? That way you could drive into it to disconnect or reconnect .Makes it much easier.
-
Appreciate that link. Some interesting pics of smaller sized snow pushers there.
-
Wheel Horse part #7473 is the belt you need. I don’t know the exact size if your going aftermarket.
-
Got these in the post. Grinding disc is for size reference.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
SylvanLakeWH replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Same technique for mine... 3rd season and going great! -
That loader ALONE is worth $2500 minimum.
-
its not mine. (But could be!). I know of the guy with the FEL and he want to sell it. It needs a seat. Ok, what’s it worth? A 93 314H, I didn’t see it run, it was out of gas. But, let’s assume it runs. It’s a Kiki way loader and it’s got non leaking lines. I think the lines are original. The muffler is whole! I mean, lets assume its got oil to be changed, fuel lines and an air filter to be changed. Shoot me all the questions and I’ll try to answer them! I mean, I’ll make sure the loader works!
