1996 314H Hydro Release?
Ed Kennell replied to Mike'sHorseBarn's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
I found I can push my 1100s be jiggling the motion lever around neutral. No bypass tow valves on the Eaton 1100s or the 700s. The 700s are nearly impossible to push. -
Got new bushings, and the holes in the bracket are definitely the problem (although 1 bushing was broken in half so I had to replace it anyways.) those brackets are not made new anymore, does anyone have some on an old mower deck I can buy?

Actually the 37 inch deck provides the most blade lift and an excellent cut compared to most Wheel Horse decks. Only deck to compare in my opinion would be the 60SD. While the deck is off is a good time to properly service it, and sharpen the blades.

1996 314H Hydro Release?
nylyon-(Admin) replied to Mike'sHorseBarn's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
If I recall, the owners manual says push directional lever all the way forward, and hand push only. It may move slowly, then lock up. Just stop and wait a minute and push again, it can be a slow push. edit: Haha, he beat me to it, yeah that ^^ -

1996 314H Hydro Release?
Mike'sHorseBarn replied to Mike'sHorseBarn's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Should be a fun time then lol I've been looking for an anniversary 314H to use to mow with and finally found one. Guys says it's been sitting in the garage a few years since his grandpa died. -
No no release on 1100s. Might be a sticker on it that says push slow.

Hello, I've lost the cable that connects the regulator to the carburator on my Kohler K181s 8hp engine (see pictures). Do you know where I might be able to find this piece, or get a 3D model so I can check the dimensions? Thanks in advance, Romain

I'm going to pick up a non running 314H tonight and was wondering if they had a hydro release to free wheel it? I downloaded the operator manual and the eaton manual and can't find anything.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Good work Andy. to the -
I have had decent succes - and not so decent from various suppliers. Look at the packaging - is the bearing in a sealed bag or pouch in the package - it should be... If you are buying double sealed bearings (most likely), take one out of the wrapper without destroying the wrapper (more to follow). Hold the outer race and gently spin the inner - it should move freely for several revolutions without any hangups or unusual friction. Now side load the inner race and repeat. There should be a bit more resistance, but still consistantly smooth. Any detected issues, bag it back up & return it!! Otherwise, so far so good... The next part is where you own them and cannot return them. As @peter lena has mentioned, pop off both seals, flush out the OE non descript greasy substance with BrakeKleen and allow it to air dry - do not use compressed air. Apply a generous amount of Lucas green X-tra Heavy Duty grease to fill the voids between the individual balls. Pop the seals back on, redo the spin test. All good - now you can install them with confidence. Several years ago, I went to my local TSC store to purchase a pair of mounted front tires on rims. I did the spin test - ALL the wheel bearings felt like they had gone thru a sand storm - I put them back on the shelf & left....

How Do You Get Under Your Deck to Change Blades?
bo dawg replied to hotajax's topic in Implements and Attachments
At 64 I feel the struggles of pulling a 48" deck out and in, getting up and down on the floor. I put a electric hoist in the garage to pick heavy things out of back of truck and/or to lift up off the floor and place on a table to work off of. Thats how I clean the decks or do any work to them. I will be using the hoist to pick front of tractor up to make easier to drag the deck in/out from under it. Been playing with the idea of building a ramp/platform to drive up on and never have to get on my knees again. Lol! -

The snow is over in Indiana, Redbuds and dogwoods are blooming. Going through the mower deck, sanding and painting, replacing the belt, new zerks, stainless fasteners, its really looking good. -
I had to buy a set of spindle bearings 109966, and out of a million to chose from got me wondering where does everyone else get theirs from? I see that most are made in China even the NSK brand, which I thought was good. So I thought I would try a company out of Canada called Maple Ace. Hopefully I made a good choice cause I hate taring a deck down to replace bearings. Lol

@bloodhound had a 37 " gave it away on a swap ? my opinion , very poor design / set up , loaded with movement issues , would suggest a 36" R/D or side / rear 42 " discharge deck , also a very good time to do a deck spindle , bearing upgrade / lubrication change out , the transformation of a deck and related , mule drive bearing bearing lube change , is amazingly smooth , quiet . done a few of those decks , never had another issue . not that hard a change , this is a gold mine , area for improvement , lots of change areas , pete

Before my time - It was not legal to sell yellow colored margarine in Wisconsin. All margarine was white when you bought it. This was an attempt to help protect to dairy industry. I was helping my dad clean out a residents once and came upon this dye. I asked what it was for and got the explanation that at one time if you wanted yellow margarine you had to add the color dye to it yourself. Delrich made the process even easier by adding a dye dot right in the package.

@Phan major thing that starts engine break down is VARNISH , without a cleaning / flushing effect , it simply cools down and reheats , for continuous issue , sea foam IS SHOWING YOU THE WAY , in the fuel burn , tried RISLONE ZINK ZDDP , in my engine oils years ago , guess what ? no oil burning at all , 4 oz for 2 qts of oil , also use STA BIL in my fuels , no rubber hose break down , proof ? 2 fuel filters on each tractor, one at tank another just before carb , filters are always clean and clear , also replaced all original rubber hoses , LOVE REPEDITIVE PROBLENS ? dissect it , at every stage , improve / change any fault area , you already know what fails , typically you can't even see that change , example / ? trunnion lever connection , change to a HEIM JOINT , WASHERED UP/ LUBED FOR SOLID MOVEMENT , BOMBPROOF. have a number of those on my horses .none of my engines smoke or run crappy , just how I look at , a REPEDITIVE PROBLEM . MAKE A CHANGE . PETE

Kids that work around me go to the fair in the summer specifically for the terrible food. One is a batter fried Twinkie with strawberry compote, ganache, then sprinkled with powdered sugar. Once a year may not kill ya. I still wouldn't. Blech
