I'm looking for a double pulley for the center spindle on a 42" wheel horse deck. Part number 106071. Thanks, Rodger

520H with the wheels I widened and the 26x12 tires.

Been slowly chipping away at this project. So far, I've had a few major issues to fix, biggest one being the clutch. Clutch was dragging really bad, but was still somewhat releasing. Turns out I missed the splines with the PTO clutch disc and accidentally ripped the hub out of the disc, requiring the whole tractor to split and the clutch disassembled. Second picture is the torn out hub from the old clutch disc. New clutch is in and I actually made sure to look into the bell housing to align the clutch splines properly. Also discovered some weird adjustment issues that would've definitely caused clutch problems. This entire second tear down wasn't as involved as the first one but the amount of stuff I did was far higher: I put on a "new" battery tray, got a drawbar, resealed the steering column, swapped a bunch of parts over... This has been a process. Working toward getting it all together before I mount the cab to it, tried starting it today after reassembly and of course it won't start...

According to some of the early sales brochures at least.

Thanks everyone for all the help I got from so many. I got it all taken apart, rebuilt, and put back to use really smooth. It's been mowing great for a good amount this year. -
There is Country Squire near me. 1953 model with a 9 horse Wisconsin. Has been refurbished. Owner is a friend. He has let me parade drive it and plow with it. To start it…turn on the gas set the choke Wrap the rope around the pulley and give it an easy pull Open the choke Wrap the rope and pull hard Starts every time.

The only thing stopping me is they have to be hooked to an auxiliary switch to be legal in PA, and I am running out of places to mount auxiliary switches.

I just looked at the picture again. Looks to me like there might be something in the holes on either end of the groove. -
I have an Economy Jim Dandy, I think it’s mid to late sixties? It’s been in my basement for almost thirty years! Every now and then I dump a little Marvel Mystery Oil in the spark plug hole and spin it over a few times. I probably should sell it because at this point I’ll probably never use it! I bought it in 1984, when I was 14 and I’m the third owner, also still have the mower deck for it!

OK, any idea where I should send the claim and bill? Parts 2 lock washers $1.16 Brake cleaner $3.99 Labor 3 hrs @ $10.00 $30.00 ( my labor is subsidized by the US Guv.) Total claim $ 35.15

@Ed Kennell, you should see if this is warranted from the guy you got that from!
-
Cool, I saw and posted about that too. I think it’s the same video as well. I think I’ll stick with my 6 mph C-141 though.

Richard: That Ido not know. We had a couple Wheel Horse walk behinds at a Show In Jacksonville, Illinois several years ago but I never was up close to it to see what the hood was made of.

I was lucky, no problem with the muffler bolts. After I found the loose carb bolts, I knew that was the problem. I could have just retightened the bolts but they did not have lock washers so I wanted to remove the bolts and add lock washers. My bolts had both a hex head and a torx head so I was able to use a short torx bit with a box end wrench to tighten them. I see you have lock washers. Were they factory or did you add them?

Your advice is well taken Bill. The part that gave me trouble was on top and easily visible. A picture would have saved me some time. I searched thru over 50 pictures in the OM till I found the throttle configuration that showed the part in question. Seems Briggs used a different arrangement for every engine.

@Lane Ranger, didn't the Pond's make a fiberglass hood for the "Walk Behind" too?

So.....drill them out? I assume the "U" bend in the spring needs to sit under the roll pin? -
Thanks Chuck, Paul, and Garry. She's starting with one pull and running with open choke. So the two loose carb bolts was the problem. Amazing it ran at all with a dangling carb. The qov. linkage wasn't much of a problem but I had a bit of a problem with the throttle linkage. Found this pic in the OM that showed the how the U shaped part connected the throttle to the qov.
