This is good info. Gotta make a belt guard and some belt keepers when I get to that stage of the rebuild. Dave

I often wonder if this would be a safer war free world if action had been taken then. -
Are you saying "SHE" hasn't done that yet?

A belt brake as Squirrelly and Achto show will cure the issue. While your at it get a boot for the shifter. keeps dust and dirt and most important water out of the tranny. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/wheel-horse-3577-shifter-boot/

As long as decks work as they should and still give a nice cut, a good, experienced welder can take care of any holes.

A trying time for our family. UK Royal Air Force rescue in Iran 1979 - C-130 Historical - C-130 Hercules.net -- The internet's #1 C-130 resource My MIL and FIL were rescued by one of these C-130s after living in Iran for nearly 10 years. They were allowed a suitcase in each hand as they waited on the tarmac for the C-130 to touch down. They rushed on board and were lifted off immediately. My FIL was manager of purchasing for the Bowen McLauchlin company that was in the process of building a armed vehicle factory for the Shaw. He was involved in many business meetings and ceremonial dinners with the Shaw. I have many memories and items from Iran including many hand carved items and Persian carpets. One of my favorites, a hand carved aluminum hard hat. -
I like to run decks like that until they are completely unusable. Save the wear and tear on the good ones.

Another one that got me was in the later 520s, the charging circuit running through the 9pin connector and the fuse block instead of doing it like the earlier 520s, which if I recall was coming off the regulator rectifier, then to the starter solenoid.

Removing Mower deck pulleys
Gasaholic replied to Brockport Bill's topic in Implements and Attachments
shouldnt need to - like I said what we did was to cut notches into the HUB above the flimsy sheet metal pulley V for the bearing separator puller to "bite into" , just have to get the top of the notches relatively square to the hub and deep enough, and the puller installed so that the tapered edges face down... ? -
Sad that it has taken nearly five decades to respond.

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse

Yes, I have an area on each side of the creek and it takes about four years to complete the process. Kitchen scraps are added to the first year leaf mulch piles all year. The first year's composting reduces the bulk of the pile to about 25% of the original volume, The finished pile after four years is used to enhance the soil in the yard, the third year pile is turned over and moved to the place the four year had been, same process for the second and first year piles. I also turn the piles once or twice a year in the summer. I also have a pile for wood composting I have them on both sides of the creek because it would be too much work moving that many ground up leaves out to the road, then on to another road, down the driveway and another 500 feet to the larger composting area. I did that until our deer population got out of hand and having a garden just wasn't working for us. Ground leaf mulch will prevent the early weeds from getting a foothold and can be tilled into the soil to loosen and enhance the soil. -
Deja-Vu???

Way too much can go wrong over time there - kind of like the OE one wire circuit for C series headlights, grounding thru the hood hinge pin...

@sqrlgtr @Achto noting those idler pulleys , tiny bearings , a lubricant that will stay with them / and stand up to heat / stress , belt wear / fraying will show you that , experimented with lubes , and application . ideally , rubber side grease shield , lucas xtra hd , green chassis grease , polyurea , 550 deg flash point , never had a failure, REGULARLY EXPERIMENT with REPEDITIVE FAILURES , @ achto, thought about a short horizontal ski on the belt , push down ? enhance , hand off ? only asking , nothing sarcastic , if its not bouncing , you are good .pete

Thanks guys for the info.ordered the part # from Amazon.of course after ordering I used the tractor for leaf work and ran for about 3+ hours with no issues.

Good catch! It sure is. It's getting tossed along with most of the deck. It is pretty beat. Several large rust holes. Hopefully i can salvage a few things like spindles.

My grandpa mulches his leaves up and puts them on the garden and for us it makes the soil a nice looking dark brown color. Might be worth a try for you guys -
Considering the fact that thi type switch hasn't been used since 1972 and the number of remaining machines is dwindling I doubt that there is enough demand to justify making more of these switches to put on the shelf collecting dust.

I have a couple of observations, the fuel is a gravity feed from the tank to the carb. Your fuel line appears to go downward and then upward behind the fan cover ands then downward to the carburetor. Air could be trapped in the high point behind the fan cover obstructing fuel flow. If relocating the fuel line doesn't cure the problem then you probably need to do a more through cleaning of the carburetor. There are several small passages in the carburetor that respond to the amount of air passing through the venturi and the low pressure created there. If one or more of these is not clean it will never run properly. Also, I didn't see a condenser connected to the ignition points, is there one at the magneto behind the fan shroud? The lack of a condenser will not prevent the engine from running but it will shorten the life of your points. Happy hunting, hope this is helpful.

BBT has talked about running our leaves through my chipper and laying them in the garden. -

I pile them in our planting beds and then run over them with the mower. They make fantastic mulch... mow them right where i want them... -

Do you have a special place on your property for that pile? Do you reuse them later? -
