523-H high roller
Lee1977 replied to kpinnc's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I had to measure mine it's only 1 7/8" additional height. I raised mine for a different reason, the steering will was so loose it could hit the top of the dash. We drilled it out and made the adapter out of 2" steel. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
pfrederi replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Finished the fuel system today for testing purposes. New pump lines filter. Starts and runs well at full throttle still a little pop at idle but it is too cold out to spend much time fine tuning,. Ran in all gears Hi/Lo. up and down the drive way (see snow on tires, there are no pics of the test run. Ass't camera person doesn't come out when it is this cold ). Really wondering about the one rear axle it sticks out just over an inch from the hub. The hub is up against the tranny housing just like the other side. Wonder if some PO replaced the axle with a longer one from a 6 spd and if so why??? -
I finally broke something serious on my GT14 the Lift arm that is attach (by chain) to the plow snapped off at the receiver arm top which is attached to the Hydro cylinder on the bottom. It appears the broken arm was welded there (see pics) my big question is how do get the "H" arm which is mounted on each side of the tractor by the steel plates the go up from the tractor frame out. I took off the four mounting bolts for it but it is tightly fit in aforementioned side plates I can move it up and down but cannot get it out. Is it relatively easy to remove one of the side plates and if yes which side is the easiest the pedal side left side (from the back) or the right side (from the back). Has anyone from the square experienced this problem, does anyone have this lift assembly. Any and all comments welcomed. p.s. I have used this beast for 10 years with zero major issues guess the stress of the lifting finally got to the arm which obviously is under tremendous pressure......Rob

520H Power Steering Modification
JoeM replied to JoeM's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
A few pics from the project Most of the parts I have laying around. Just a budget friendly thing to do. The spindles and cylinder are xi. I have the front wheels too. The correct hoses and fittings are ordered and on the way. I figured this deserves a foot control.......maybe yes! That will be next. -
Our township mandated septic inspection every few years and septic tanks were to have a manhole installed if there was none. To install a manhole they required it to be designed by an engineer which would have cost plenty. Before the deadline I had a guy doing some excavation work and stump removal, he agreed to place a tree stump next to the manhole site while he quickly did the installation.

Over the years I have tried various plow skids. 95% of my plowing is on gravel, dirt, some sod. Homemade from pipe caps. Skid runner type and the vastly overpriced Toro skids. The first two wear out fast (especially now with the heavy 56 inch blade) The absolute best is the dome type modified with extra welding

after taking the eye test for my left eye (first one operated on) a week after the operation, I swapped the paddle so it was covering my left eye to try to read the final small set of letters with my right eye (the 'good' eye before operations) - they were a dark smudge in the middle of the display screen.

Adding Grease Grooves in Steering Shaft
WHX?? replied to ri702bill's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I wasn't thinking I have seen those, mostly on heavy equipment, and could see them on 520s with a cab on. Or a 953 steering box. -
Adding Grease Grooves in Steering Shaft
ebinmaine replied to ri702bill's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
50? I wish.... I can't say "wallowed out" but I definitely have seen some that had very loose tolerances. I've been saving a few worn out pillow blocks to experiment with. -

@squonk posted in another thread about using piece of pvc split down middle and slipped over blade and cutting edge that I may try if I ever get a piece of pipe. My only worries is the buildup of snow on top of pipe but will be using the 1257 with the HY2 unit so not to worried about it.

Adding Grease Grooves in Steering Shaft

Lower bearing grease fitting - I do the same, but install that 45 degree fitting on the other side... easier access as I recall.... -
Reminds me of using a periscope for some welding in tight spaces.

One should get an estimate of taxes before deciding on type of construction. Figure how many years you will be paying those taxes and how old you will get before the building will no longer be of good use for you. My pole building had no concrete floor and no electricity till after I got the occupancy permit, then those things magically appeared.

Now that the foot rests are on I can set the foot pedal height. I initially screwed the heim joint in all the way on the foot pedal control rod so the pedal is too far forward as shown. Here I am holding the pedal in full reverse and you can see the large gap between the reverse pedal and the foot rest. To adjust the pedal, unbolt the heim joint from the foot pedal and unscrew it a few turns on the rod then bolt it back to the pedal. Then push the pedal to full reverse again. When you have it set right the pedal will almost touch the foot rest but there should be a small gap. This will ensure you have full reverse speed. Once the heim is set in the right place the jamb nut can be tightened on the control rod to lock the heim joint in place. Here is the foot pedal in full reverse showing the slight gap to the foot rest. Here is how the foot pedal sits in neutral now. Tractor overview as of today.
