Happy Birthday Jim
-
Here is the one I bolted on to my 71 raider 12 it works find. I used two 1/4" flats and one 1/8" flat as spacers between the frame and hitch. I had to cut off the hood hinges and bolt them back to the hitch.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes fellas. i don't know how to act my age I've never been this old ... Was a good day spending it up here in northern WI. worked on getting a outboard running for my sister then went fishing on a private pond but got skunked. Went out to a cool place called Lost Land Lodge for Friday fish fry and old fashions which is a Wisconsin staple. Finished with white Russians and a fire pit.

Had the Snapper RER I sold to my neighbor come visit today. He’d grown tired of pull-starting 12.5 HP (he acknowledged I’d warned him) and was ready to take me up on my promise to install his new battery. Did a full cleanup of the starting and charging electrical connections to forestall any issues and they tested to spec. Dropped in the battery and it started right up. Waved a smiling neighbor back across the street.

C-160 Hydro causes RPM drop under load
Gary S Minnesota posted a topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Hi Folks, I picked up a nice 1997 C-160 and finally have it purring nicely. My question regards the Sundstrand hydro unit. It seems to have plenty of lifting power, easily raising the two stage snow thrower that is currently mounted. What puzzles me is that the engine RPM drops a bit when the lift is engaged and remains at the lower RPM as long as the snow-thrower is is in the raised position. Once the snow thrower is lowered the engine RPM goes back up. Is this normal for the Sundstrand unit? My 520 H with the Eaton 1100 also looses a bit of RPM when lifting but as soon as the up lever is released the RPM returns to normal even though the load remains in the up position. Just curious! Thanks, Gary -

Lift imbalance (left too little or right too much) and possibly too much “up” elevator Rudder not centered? (pre-enter a bit of correction on the controller) Full power for takeoff is correct. it should take off in about 20 feet of smooth runway.

Hey Folks, I picked up a nice 1977 C160 two years ago and finally have it purring sweetly. I ultrasonically cleaned the carb, replaced the fuel lines and pump and finally installed new points, condenser and coil. ( later found the old coil was fine). My question now involves the hydro unit.. It seems to have plenty of power, easily lifting the mounted 2 stage snow thrower. What puzzles me is that when the hydro lifts the blower, the engine RPM drops a bit. The RPM then stays at this lower speed until the the blower is lowered again relieving the load. Is this normal for a Sunstrand unit? Just curious? My 520 H with the Eaton 110 will also lose a bit of RPM when lifting but the RPM quickly returns to normal once the up lever is released and the load remains in the up position.

Or go to Lowes or Home depot and pick up a garden tractor solenoid for less than $15 i have used a couple no issues.

I was working in the junction box of a 15-19 F150 once and realized that while not identical the pins of the starter and horn relays are close enough to the same that they could be swapped, so the key switch would operate the horn, and the horn button SHOULD run the starter. This would have the potential side effect of the security system being able to disable the horn but not the engine.

Looking for a complete hydro pump for a D-160. Tractor is missing everything from the rubber coupler disc back. Also willing to buy a complete tractor for parts, the closer to Harrisonburg VA the better. Thank you.

Looks like some sort of torque reaction to me. Be a little slower on throttle application?
-
its a Raider but close enough to a C series @ri702bill How you like them tri rib Firestone front tires?
-
wished the paint on mine was as good as that one. best looking 520 seat Ive seen in a long time.....
-
I keep all mine ifn that aint damaged like yous say may need a 1/2"-1" longer belt fer sumin. if they are damaged in any way they go straight to the trashy can, got to much junk laying around all ready

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Trina says you need to deliver that transmission up here. We'll take you out on our forest trails. Rough. Terrain. Mebbe hike across the street. I'm willing to supply coffee. - Yesterday

??? what and where is this Jim's u speak of....? -
I keep long belts to drive other equipment off the PTO. Like hydros in non running tractors, meat grinders, ice cream freezers, air compressors, gen sets, etc.

Picked up the tractor today…will be checking the flywheel key as suggested by @Bill D

It's also good to have a long belt around to use for measuring for a new belt. Mostly custom stuff. But it's also a lot faster than looking stuff up online too. I have a cut deck belt that is wrapped around the pulleys and just marked. Measure that length and there's the new belt length.

Me too Ed

Fixed it for you.

Most of my "custom" builds are designed to use an existing belt from my stock.
