Well, I had a few parts hanging around cleaned up and primed so I thought I would brave the mosquitos and paint them using my paint spray gun. I have a little less blood but at least some parts got red.

Wait till you get to be my age... oh wait... Actually a friend's property. His blind (one of seven) that he graciously lets me use... I have no problem maintaining it and trimming for him... I'm very fortunate! But I have suggested indoor plumbing, electric, heat, small refrigerator, but for some reason those haven't materialized yet... -
These are the only belts I use. About $30 at TSC and they can be returned for full refund.

Correct. If you need it in the future it is posted on the cover page for the parts list. Click on the fuzzy part to see it.

520xi single stage chute rod support
ri702bill replied to Bugzilla46310's topic in Implements and Attachments
As pictured, that is a rather poor placement for a crank handle.Itmust be very awkward to have to reach down by your left heel to turn that! Can the handle be elevated & angled upward? If the front end is straight, a couple of Heim joints spaced a few feet apart may work - providing there is no bind when the snowblower is raised and lowered... -
You guys hunt in comfort. I just hang from a tree limb.

Hello, I have a Wheel Horse that is overcharging the battery. It has a K241. I tried running a ground wire directly from the voltage regulator to the battery with no change. The ac voltage is 36v. When first starting, the DC voltage is around 14.6v but will go way up above 15.5v the longer it runs. It had an aftermarket voltage regulator that I replaced with another aftermarket a while back. Now the new one I just put in still overcharges the same way. I tried one of those smaller flat regulators and it is over 14.5v at startup, full throttle. It has a new battery, key switch and I rewired all the wires that go to the key switch and replaced the amp meter with an hour meter. I think it's been overcharging for a while because I had to replace a battery that didn't seem to last as long as it should and a key switch and the plastic harness to the voltage regulator was melted. Any suggestions on what to do next? Thanks, Tim

I installed one of those HEI distributors in my mom's Mustang with the 5.0. It had a distinct lack of key-switched power sources, only a single one in fact, where I needed many. I grabbed a fuse block out of an 02-07 (old body) Taurus and used it to get multiple power wires. Hook the main bus to the battery, ground all the relays, and hook the relay control input to the single key-switched source. This provided 7 key-switched power sources, good for up to 30 amps each, off one that was originally rated for 10 amps. I used one to run the HEI distributor, with no issues so far. -

Hi all, Ive got a 312-8 1990 3112k 801/ 11289 tractor, I'd like to make sure I order the correct size drive belt. When I looked it up the size appears to be 5/8" x 82" can anyone verify that is the size or give me the size I need. Thanks, Jim

Maybe you can download the snowblower manual from our manuals section or from Toro.com. Classic tractors used a support that clipped into the mid hitch. -
At very least clean up the shaft and flywheel bore and apply Loctite bearing and sleeve retainer. give it a shot. You can't spoil a rotten egg!

Will be picking this up this week. One of the first things I want to fix, besides changing all the fluids and greasing it, is to fab up a proper support for the chute rotation rod. Picture shows the odd way the PO rigged it up. Did some searching and cannot find any data on the support. Looking for a picture of opposite side of the rod to see how it is made to keep the upright position without rotating down. Any drawings or pictures are appreciated.

I'm having a problem with the photo angle as well. The crankshaft should be tapered and the tail of the key rides above and locates the magnet ring to time the ignition. That magnet ring may be damaged with the failure. It appears that the crank has grooves worn in it and that may not grab the flywheel well. Any debris and high spots on the crank and in the flywheel needs to be removed and then the parts can be lapped together with fine lapping compound. The surfaces need to be completely clean and then only a wipe of rust proofing applied. The flywheel bolt torque is 55 ft. lbs. with a drop of oil on the threads and under the bolt head. What really is needed is replacement of the crankshaft and flywheel, using these parts might very well cause a failure in the future.

Mrs Sylvan helped me put the door back on the deer blind and clear out brush from the shooting alleys in preparation for early doe September 12-13... door blew off in a windstorm over the winter. @Pullstart I wore my best t-shirt... Ready for the season!!! -
It will be better to completely rewire the tractor for the Kohler Command engine. I did that when I put the Vanguard engine in mt 312-8. The crank shaft height is the right height, but I would put a 1/4" steel plate under it. I broke the crank case on a Vanguard when I went off a ba that was around 24" high or less. It landing onthe right front wheel that caused the frame to twist. I was mowing next to a fence and watching the fence.

Looks like part of the long key is still on the crankshaft.
-
Maybe it’s just the angle of the picture but it appears that the key way in the flywheel is worn? A thorough cleaning will help determine that.
