Iwas issued one, new appearing, in my tools in Air Force shop. Unsafely of course, I walked with it in my back pocket. It was too big for any of my radar screws, but it sure looked worthy of respect. Naturally China makes a knockoff set including phillips tip. All said it surely is an early tool years screw stick fer sure.

Well now it appears to be missing the chains and locking mechanism when you lock up your back wheel as you park at the local parts supplier. That a way you are safe to shop while your tractor it safely secured and no one can drive her off! Could be all wrong though.

This sounds like the same scenario at a high profile murder trial.....

I luv talking with my Amish neighbors. On of my favorites came from Annie when I stopped and told her I had caught a skunk in my live trap and took it to the woods. Her response " Did ya make him dead? Ve donn like skunks." I had to confess, I released him live. But, I did catch two more since that and they were made dead.

Tire Recommendations for steep, snowy, mud
Alrashid2 replied to Alrashid2's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Ah, I did the math on paper last night but don't have it on me... if I remember right, 2 spacers = 3/8" x2 = losing 3/4" of ground clearance on the transaxle BUT you also have to consider, with the new tires, I gained around 1.5" of ground clearance (tires were 3" taller than old ones). So, even with losing some ground clearance with the spacers, I'm still netting an additional 3/4" of ground clearance than I had before. Check my math guys! Ha - Today

Please do not continue to force it in gear with the belt moving. The grinding is causing severe damage to the transmission. These early Wheel Horse models relied on the lower flange on the belt guard to support the slack belt and the wire guides if adjusted properly pushed the belt away from the engine pulley causing the belt to stop so a smooth shift could be made. Later models also used the moving belt guide on the idler pulley and a stationary pad to positively lock the belt for shifting. If you can not get the belt to stop, maybe a belt brake could be added.

I copied you on this and it worked a treat! -
Ah, I wonder if running copper causes any interesting electrical interference to any modern electronics. I know it’ll drive an AM radio to static.

I see where you are going. What will be your ground clearance under the plow bracket on the transaxle once you have all the spacers installed? -
February 19, 2010, professional golfer Tiger Woods gives a televised news conference in which he apologizes for his marital infidelities and admits to “selfish” and “foolish” behavior. The 34-year-old Woods, one of the greatest players in the history of golf as well as one of the world’s highest-paid athletes, read a scripted statement at PGA headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, before a pre-selected audience that included his mother but not his Swedish-born wife, Elin Nordegren. Members of the media were present but were not allowed to ask questions.

My 1054 was doing the same, grinding while shifting gears. The belt tensioner or guide that bolts onto the engine block near the drive pulley was missing. It is the simple bent small rod that has a bolt holding it on to keep the drive belt positioned in the pulley. I made one and no issues since.
-
Two things come to mind - is the belt properly routed and is the belt guard intact & properly mounted. With the clutch depressed & the engine running, the belt should be stationary. If not, perhaps a clutch adjustment??
-
Make sure the belt guard in installed properly. It stops the belt.

I have a 1054 and it won't shift smoothly into any gear.What do I need to fix or adjust to solve this noisy problem? Thank you in advance

There are a few photos here that may help you. If you ever have an over-speeding condition this thread will be a help. Of course you wouldn't need to get in the timing case for your module replacement. Take some photos of the wire routing as you disassemble. I would use some caution when pulling the flywheel, use your Onan Service manual for instructions. I made a puller that uses all four threaded holes in the flywheel, using only two holes is risky if the flywheel is stuck. The flywheel is torqued to 55 lb. ft., again use caution holding the fins when removing and tightening the flywheel bolt so you don't break a fin. The flywheel bore and shaft is to be dry when installing, I use a rust preventer on it but wipe it till it is almost dry. You may not have the thin insulator under your module, if there is none you can buy from OnanParts.com part number 166-0786, or make one from gasket material. -
Seen those gang reels displayed at the big WH show

@CD Long Jr agree with the with the lubrication base idea , been doing that forever , would much rather have an oil film than rust any day , LOVE KROIL , HATE THE PRICING ,any rust at all is not an issue for me , been regularly rubbing down my paint , mineral oil / penetrating oil , for years now , this is paint that was RECOVERED with lubrication , just effortlessly stays clean / shinny / zero related rust / grunge . more that worth a TRIAL AREA , ya doin good , pete

I have been wanting to mention that one of my riding buddies passed on June 21. 2024 at the age of 88. Unfortunately he was on one of his many motorcycles when he was hit by a car by someone in the same age bracket from what i can gather. Went into Hospice and passed shortly after. Don was very well known in all areas of Motorcycles and was not going to give that up. I thank him for what I learned from him and miss him dearly. For info check out on Legacy.Com Donald Murray Burnett at Campbell Funeral Home Beverly Mass. I have a thread on here under the same title I believe. Thanks Guys

I'm guessing the original poster deleted those pics to make more space for others. -
@Chris T turned me on to the fact that most of these transmissions have thermostats in them now, warming the fluid up to 200+ by design. I grabbed an $18 bypass plug from Amazon and have not seen more than 155 degrees after some hard driving and launches. Let’s hope that the heat cycles stay lower than normal and keep all those parts in place 🤞

It's an old post (2017). Links are probably no longer available. -
Ok thanks. I will have to run down and check them out at T/supply.

Why can't I see the pictures? -
Not sure, never measured the outside casing. They are copper core wires not graphite core.
