314A trans issue.. is it scrap?
Handy Don replied to nyquil junkie's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Yep, excellent callout, KP. And it is a PITA to get to and almost impossible to capture the draining oil. -
Send him a private message. @ebinmaine is very negotiable! 😉

314A trans issue.. is it scrap?

This may have already been mentioned, but I do not see it. One of the primary differences between the 700 and 1100 series transmissions is that while the 1100 shares oil with the gearbox through the charge pump and filter circuits, the 700 does not. Draining the gearbox with the plug on the bottom of the gearbox will not affect the oil in the pump. The pump itself had a seperate and isolated oil supply. Look for the drain on the bottom of the pump itself. -

Good point. It is possible that there has been no damage and changing the oil will revive it--worth a try, for sure. -
Stocked the trout for the annual fishing derby for the ATOMIC KIDS. This is a private event sponsored by the Peach Bottom Nuclear Power Plant for employees children. We put 1,000 12 to 20 inch trout in a 1/4 mile section of the North branch of Muddy Creek in Felton. VID_20260529_103818809~3.mp4 Fish catching pics tomorrow.

I do not know what year model your 310 is, but on the 1987 models the seat switch only engages if the PTO is also engaged. I had issues with mine once that actually turned out to be one of the two PTO switches. One is part of the interlock for the PTOs engagement, one is for the starting interlock where the PTO must be disengaged. The switches were stacked together, with one providing an open circuit while the other provided a closed one. Having your backside firmly planted when a snow blower, mowing deck, tiller, or other powered attachment in motion is pretty important. Very few of the members here would recommend removing it.

this one was giving me trouble and the oil change worked -
Absolutely, no tractor is left outside. The pictures actually show my barn and shed, of course it takes moving 3-4 tractors just to get the one I want out at the moment, lol. Good exercise. I have a few torn down on a couple work benches waiting for me to clean them up and reassemble. Retirement is around the corner that my hobby will become my full time job. Currently at 67 tractors including walk behinds. Working on building a elevator to be able to keep some smaller tractors in top level of barn.

Post a picture of your switch and we can be more helpful.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Handy Don replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
The new blade for my mulching push mower seemed quite dull on arrival. Then I realized it had been powder-coated all over. Took only a few minutes with the belt file to gently remove the coating and hone the cutting edges. -

Those micro switches fail just by looking at them. Most likely junk.
-
Personally, i doubt the change would have been due to the parts cost alone. Keeping the dipstick handle from sticking up above the fender pan also got it out of the way during assembly and THAT could be a significant labor save.

Guessing this is the switch. It controls the magneto ignition so try it with the wires disconnected. It is a very important switch to have working. Perhaps the seat is not opening the switch. Can you adjust the switch height?

If you choose to drain/refill, look closely at what comes out. If there is any sign of metal particles in the oil, consider it a very strong indication that the hydro was run without oil or that the tractor was forcibly pushed instead of moving under its own power (Eaton 700s do not have acceleration or bypass valves to accommodate being pushed). Both are hydro life-shortening. BTW, the tank on the top is for expansion and typically fills only when the hydro has heated up through use. -
FREE 37" SD Two Blade Deck with Bagger

Deck is now gone, found new home. Thanks! -
I am pretty sure I have a Frankenstein wheel horse. model number on tractor is 91-08K802-9748 8319 which believe had an 8HP. This unit has a 16HP. Thanks for identifying 1986 as the engine date. Any idea what the mfg date is for the tractor?

I have a WH 310-8. I think I'm having an issue with the safety-cutoff switch - the small toggle switch under the seat. Does anyone know if I can safely bypass the switch by cutting the two wires and connecting them together with a wire nut, or do I need to try and find a new switch? Or better yet, does anyone know how to test the switch to see if it's still viable before I go to that effort? I'm not 100% sure this is the problem, but it seems to be. Thanks in advance for any advice!
