But 29 bucks is a lot easier to swallow than the Toro price...

I Think This Group Might Be Bad For Me - Meet My New B100 Automatic
Handy Don replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I've been fortunate. I’ve encountered a badly rusted outer shell with the pulleys but never a rusted inner race. If you’ve decided it is scrap, you might consider grinding notches in it or welding on a trio of large hex nuts so that your 3-jaw puller can get a grip. Of course, a multi-day course of penetrant in advance is always a good idea. -
I have two Sunstrands. One on a '73 with a K341 and 10 pinion L/S that will spin both rears with lugged tires. The other came on a '75 c-160 that was run hard. Busted F-bracket and trashed keyways in both axles. It seemed good internally with clean fluid so I tore it down and replaced the axles. The pump and motor were in great shape so I just cleaned up the slippers and it's a spare now, likely good for many more years if I ever need it.

Maybe a 200 series? Or another implement altogether?

@pfrederi @953 nut @Handy Don Any help here? -
I know the one 520 was sluggish or would not move. As far as the xi, it uses the charge oil for the power steering, even if it moves you have no steering. (or I should say limited steering) I never tried it.

And I am not sure the OE isn't the same

The drill press I inherited from my Dad was a “no longer good enough” retiree he got free from a friend in a machine shop. In those years, every penny mattered in our household. It has a couple 000ths of movement in the spindle bearing (that I live with) and the chuck is spot welded on. Years ago I asked about the welding and he told me the chuck kept falling off and there was no other way to fix it. -

Yeah, I've only eaten there once or twice and when I did I was disappointed at how long it took them to serve up a burger and fries. They do however have great milkshakes and used to (not sure if they still do) have milkshake happy hour from 2-5 am and 2-5 pm for about half price. I don't do that very often either or I'd have to keep buying bigger clothes. -
Yes, this is a extension for a plow frame but information I have found here on the forum it is 4" longer than the correct one. Pictures on forum showing dimensions of correct extension overall is 12 1/4 inches. This extension is 16" overall as shown in pictures. I tried using this on my frame but puts the bracket for pivot lever to far front which hits steering linkage when raising plow frame up. Was advertised as extension for 520 WH. I have a 1994 520H.

One time when I was out your way I went to an S&S and received the worst service ever. I went to the manager and told him why I left no tip. -
So much depends on what we choose to do with what we learn from these (and so many other) terrible examples.

When the Eaton “cold” and not picking up, is motion also sluggish?

most mill tapers are a larger angle than a Morse taper and they are usuly held in with a bolt that runs through the spindle. The Morse taper is a self locking taper (steel on steel self locking tapers are 10 degrees or less) and they don't like side loads on the spindle. I had a 1/4" end mill chucked up once freehanding some sort of odd shaped hole. It grabbed, rattled the work piece around and in the blink of an eye, shook the chuck out of the spindle. Fortunately, when it grabbed, it just walked around the hole I started with and didn't grab the work piece hard enough to spin it - thus avoiding a @Pullstart type incident. Having the work piece in a vice and using the vice as a handle helped a bit. -
I missed this post yesterday and was too busy to remember it was Pearl Harbor Day... I don't know how many of you have been to the Pearl Harbor National Memorial and the USS Arizona Memorial.... I have. Something I will never forget. It's very sobering to look down at the top of that ship that became a coffin for so many. I also had the opportunity to see the World Trade Center ground zero when it was still just a hole in the ground. These things can really stick with you.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Blue Chips replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Worked on restoring the headlights on the 522xi. I had good luck with the headlight reflector, but not quite as good with the lens. For the reflector, after cleaning and a light bead blasting to roughen the surface slightly, I sprayed it with "Rust-Oleum Automotive 600 Degree Aluminum Engine Enamel," which is great paint. It's quite shiny and adheres really well, although the overspray is messy as it sticks to everything within several feet of where you're spraying. I then top-coated it with "Rust-Oleum Automotive 600 Degree Gloss Clear Engine Enamel." I think the reflector is 'almost' as reflective as the original surface, and it should hold up well. The headlight lens is much better than it was (brownish yellow, almost opaque, and heavily oxidized), but it's still rather milky after I spent almost two hours polishing it halfway to China, using all kinds of approaches, including progressively finer sandpaper, headlight restorer kit, polishing compounds, wax, etc. I think the milkiness is very deep, so I guess I'll either have to put up with it or buy a new or used replacement lens. New ones are still available, but kind of expensive. By contrast, the headlight lens on my GT18 (the same kind of lens) cleaned up beautifully (below) and is crystal clear. I guess my 522xi must have spent a lot more time outside in the sun than the GT18. -
Is that the part to extend the plow forward about 4" when you have a model like the 520H with the HD forward swept front axle?? Certainly, looks like it...

Undoing the inner tie rods helps give some more room too.

yep the good old days, when life was simple and days lasted twice as long. sometimes I long for those times again. -
I knew a couple of survivors of Pearl Harbor but they were reluctant to talk about it. Both were on shore leave on Oahu at the time and lost most of their shipmates, it was too painful to talk about.

I didn't do Fakebook either until I was told about the marketplace section . I have bought a couple good Wheel Horse items from it.
