After taking the engine and a few bits I needed off a whole and working 312H I have the hulk left, I plan to disassemble it for parts (and to make room/get the good stuff out of the weather). Everything worked on it fine. If you happen to need some parts that can be mailed to ya, message me and lets make a deal. I removed the electrical harness and the engine, the rest is up for grabs. if its a big hunk like the transaxle, you'll have to come get it here in SW PA. The sticker sez 3112KE01 13145 and under that it says 0128... if that means anything. I put $20 in the header because it wanted a price and well.... I gave it one.

Hydro Engagement lever rattle
peter lena replied to pfrederi's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
@pfrederi don't have one of those but sure can relate ! horses are known for glairing linkage / lever set ups , based on penny pinching , and lack of FUNCTIONAL DETAILING . of course have to throw in a sealed idler belt pulley ! typically belts show you the way ? , frayed , cracked from incremental sealed bearing lubrication ? starts belt bounce , as bearing hangs up / stops . my experience , is touching each stage of hand off , verify / enhance , penetrant gets the rust flowing , then aerosol red grease , added washers , to enhance action , love those hook end , light to medium springs . done similar on , pto lever set up , and plow swing quadrant , lever set up , amazing transformation , functional ease . done a lot of mods to my horses , can't even see them , but you sure can feel / sense them! related belt wear , is telling you what's happening , would love to do one of those , pete -

Need Advice On Locating Replacement Glass Bowl Fuel Filter Element & Gasket
Walleye Guy replied to Walleye Guy's topic in Engines
Was the original set-up a gasket and a filter screen as separate parts or was the gasket and screen one part (ie was the gasket molded around the perimeter of the screen)? -
I've welded up the worn pivot points to stop rattles as well.

Cecil Pond Passed Away Yesterday 12/30/2011

Wow, I really enjoyed looking at these. Anyone else actually drooling on their keyboard while looking at all these pristine new parts? I've worked on a 1982 GT-1848, '87 312-A, '92 416-H, and a few others, and all these parts look so familiar, like they would fit any of those (which they probably would). I'm glad they left "awesome enough" alone for that many years. -

312-8, purchased 1986, but may be a 1985. Original Kohler engine, still starts and runs if if jumped. Professional valve job 40 hours ago. Needs bearing to deck PTO. Sheet metal dented and banged up. Seat has tears. Deck needs to be replaced. Would keep, but unable to do own rebuild, have new tractor. Pick up by appointment only, at your own risk.

Picked up a GT-1848 last year for cheap at auction as she didn't run...Turns out those B&S engines actually require fuel mixture to run. After going over the flue system she worked great. The hydro engagement lever shook around and rattled a lot. Part of problem was drive belt was missing a couple chunks...but even with a new belt lots more rattle and noise than my 418A. My older Sustrands also rattle and I have replaced the wave washers with not much improvement. (Use a small bungee cord on one to quiet it down) So why is the 418 quiet but not the GT same system right??? Wrong...WH made a change in the later hydros and added an anti rattle spring instead of using wave washers. Looked at the spring on my 418 and went to my box of springs found one that was actually for some WH snow blower that looked close. Shortened and bent the end loops put it on the GT and voila quieter. As the other Sunstrands come in for maintenance going to fix them up as well.

But... The way the 856 left the WH factory, your choices would be either a 32 or 36 " gear drive 2 blade deck. The deck in the picture looks to be a 42" - even a good running 8HP Kohler is prety much maxed out with a 36" deck.... my

1987 310-8 key switch to plug match problem
Armadillo👍 replied to Armadillo👍's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Since I already changed the plug I will try the 301991 switch. Per gasaholic I tested the switch. With the 301991 switch in the “on” position there is always continuity between battery pin and rectifier pin. There is no continuity battery to magneto pin. In “start” position there is continuity between battery pin to start pin and no continuity to magneto pin. In the “off” position there is magneto to ground continuity. IKnow none of this is news to anyone here but I wanted to test the switch to be sure there is no power to the magneto. At this point it seems safe to go with the 301991 switch and if the safety switches don’t work I will switch back to battery wiring system and add the kill relay. If there is error in my thought process correction is appreciated. -

If your 856 has the mid mount attach-a-matic and the front mule drive and all the deck hardware is in the box, It should work.

1054 Hydraulic Cylinder Not Functioning

Takes a great deal of effort to pull the ram out (both hands and some grunting). Slightly less effort to push the ram back in. -

Another note about the 5xi tractors and the electric PTO.......if your battery/charging system is weak, the PTO is the first thing to not work correctly. For instance, I picked up my 522xi with a 2-stage snow blower on it. Everything worked fine until I actually tried to use it. Every time I would try and plow snow with it, the PTO would shut off and the auger would stop. Cycle it OFF/ON, work fine, pull forward into snow and it would shut off again. Turns out it was a weak battery. Simple fix, but was a head scratcher for awhile as everything seemed fine. Not saying its your same issue, but something to keep in mind if it helps

Afternoon, wondering if this will work with 856. If so, be a lot of work to make it work?

Happy birthday! I hope ya find some red treasures in someone’s trash pile this afternoon!
