Wheelhorse 1 flaw… rear gas tank mounting.
ri702bill replied to AHS's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The one that frequently developes cracks that like to play connect the dots. Like this sad 854 frame... Years of plowing or tilling flexing that mount until it developes fatigue cracks. Fixable, but time consuming... -

Wheelhorse 1 flaw… rear gas tank mounting.
Bill D replied to AHS's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The F plate refers to the part of the frame that bolts to the transmission. -
I did see an oil pan that was installed after a connecting rod ventilated it. That was in a Steiner and apparently Onan made universal oil pans for special installations, it had another drain port on the opposite side as well.

Hold on, what’s the F plate? So part 1 was available on the newer 520s? I’m confused what part 6 is. -
Where to power an electric PTO
ineedanother replied to ineedanother's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Right. I'm a firm believer in soft starts since putting one on one of my a/c units and dropping the LRA by more than 80%! I was impressed. This is for a hydraulic pump though with a very short belt. It worked well on one of my 16 Autos so I think it will be fine on this too. I did have to bypass the PTO switch though because I removed the manual PTO lever and that switch won't close without it. - Today

@ineedanother would think about a soft start electrical set up to reduce violent starting , would also manually try to see how much drag you have on that entire set up , COLLECTIVE DRAG is the issue , every stage , hand off has to be smooth / rotational , thats what makes clutches scream , and belts fray , related pulleys with any form of hang up . roughness, will ENHANCE DRAG , start . just my take on related conveyor set ups . initial start would be heavy / yet hang up free , advantage , soft start , experiment with it for effects , have a helper to also watch what's going on . process of elimination , pete

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

I got the B-80 reshorn after taking the wheels, tubes & tires to my friendly local tire shop. I just wasn’t in the mood for doing that. He got them to seal up without the tubes. The blowout: Spare set waiting for the Sandman Scrubbed & ready to paint, more or less. Third coat left, fourth on right (Krylon Ivory) Just like new! (Sort of) Another triumph! I’m almost inspired to give her a lick of Penetrol and do something about that seat. Oh, and paint and remount the weights. -
There, fixed it for you!

The "F" plate is always a concern when looking to purchase a new-to-me used WH. Usually never a show stopping deal breaker, but needs to be factored into the purchase price if it requires repair... -

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Chris689 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Picked up the remnants of this 310-8 today. At some point in its life it was repowered with a 12HP kohler that is currently stuck. Transmission is free though which is great. Not sure what direction I’m going to go in with it since the engine is stuck and it’s missing a bunch of stuff like wheels and tires, carb, fuel tank… the important stuff. A part of me kinda wants to piece it back together. We’ll see what’s happens. -
Paul, I do believe I have one of those sitting around, courtesy of some feller I met at the Show. My eventual plan is to attempt to rebuild the one I got from you and put it in this tractor. They look very similar externally.

This and the F plate are big improvements that were made on the later 520's -
