Thanks for the reply. Curious if the originals were prone to break since both of our 60" decks were missing them -
HAPPPPY BIRTHDAY

Mobil 1 if summer duty. Handles the heat. And after your done getting your lawn striped perfectly so you can post Pics on FB, blow the pump fins off!

This was fun… the other week we had a slide out drive apparatus fail. I couldn’t stomach the replacement cost, so I dove in. I was into this repair for $50 and in my experience it has never worked so well before!
-
I did not, though I haven’t been scouring the internet for them lately. i ended up experimenting and eventually modifying similar JD parts. Works ok but not great. good luck. I hope you find a set!

Possibly it was at one time, but not in the last 20 years at least.

5xi 60” Mower Gage wheel Supports Wanted

I am looking for these too, did you ever find any? -

If you have been working on it for three years, it should look like it just rolled off the assembly line.

I parted a 518-H and donated the pump to another member a few years ago. As I recall, getting it off without disassembling the pump required removing a lot of other bits and bobs. A complete, trusted pump/transaxle at a good price is workable solution.

Long range forecasts for my area predict more of what we’ve been seeing--wet stuff amid slightly above average temps overall. Plow work. I’ll prep the walk-behind blower anyway!

My First Resto…..854!
Handy Don replied to ElectricApprentice123's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Wow, you’re starting farther back than I did. At least my engine wasn’t seized and the tires held air. I did the six-speed swap mostly to get the low range but getting the modest assist of the LSD has been noticeable. I have sloped property so not having to finagle with an 8-speed’s linkage for running and parking brakes was also a real consideration. Good luck! -
Molasses Rust Removal
Handy Don replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Thanks. I’ve done some research on the science of grading unpaved roads (and yes, there is a LOT of research there). The normal crown is at 4º and swales are at 8º (a swale being a shallow ditch for carrying water away from the roadbed). Exceptions exist, of course, for local conditions, depending on road material composition, expected precipitation, gradient steepness, and vehicle size/weight. During visits to Costa Rica and Panama I observed roadside ditches with 45º pitched sides to depths of 3-4 feet with many being concrete lined--when it rains there, it pours! -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Lee1977 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
It's a design problem, metal too thin. add a 1/8" x 1 1/2" flat on top all the way under the shifter plate. Then fender washers under the original cracked area. This one also got the fender raised 1 3/4". -
Hoping it works this year too since last year with the Workhorse was a bust. Im kinda excited to try it
-
Salted roads and winter driving? If that was a coastal truck, I’d suspect joyrides on salt water beaches or splashing through high-tide puddles.
-
I can't wait to see this beast finally go to work. Chuck @cafoose may want to watch.

Gauge wheel assemblies for 60" 5xi mower deck

Looks like a simple part to make. Perhaps you have a local weld shop nearby. -
What do you call a VW bus at the top of a long steep hill? A miracle.

Good to know!
