Looks like part of the long key is still on the crankshaft.

Maybe it’s just the angle of the picture but it appears that the key way in the flywheel is worn? A thorough cleaning will help determine that.

New-to-me Horse (and other stuff) Hauler!!
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
More of my own notes for the removal of the computer and wiring for the new HEI. Credit to Ford Truck Enthusiast. These two are connected: The following two pics are NOT from the same post. Different vehicles and information. Possibly both helpful to me in different ways. On the "Hot out to Coil" - the HEI distributor will need only one. It MUST be full voltage. Test each wire to confirm. -
Haven’t had a Wheel Horse for about 28 years since I gave my 852 to a brother of a coworker to restore and never saw the tractor again. Just purchased a 520xi with 48” deck and single stage snow blower in good condition, 880 hours. Will pick it up Thursday as there is no rain in the forecast (Hoosiers will understand!). Semi retired Reliability Engineer so I over analyze everything. Looking forward to contributing and learning!

Since the flywheel has obviously been spun on the crankshaft you should also take a good look inside the flywheel bore.

Customized PTO

I put that type PTO on my 1055 but had to remove the handle due to interference with the angle adjustment for the snow plow. -

need some help with the clutch

The clutch on a 1965 Wheel Horse looks like the photo below. This owner manual should be helpful too.- 1 reply

Customized PTO
ri702bill replied to Pullstart's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Agreed. It looks to be using the PTO components from a Commando 800 or similar era tractor. Functional, but..... nothing else is there. No deck mounting brackets, no tach-a-matic. Maybe intended for a snowthrower setup?? -
Wheel Horse Paint Recommendations
WildHorses replied to nylyon-(Admin)'s topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The best paint I've found is Rust-oleum Satin Black, you can't tell it from the Factory finish. This tractor has all OEM paint but the front black I had to redo because of several large scratches. -
Maybe not. There was a smaller drive pulley on the early PTO kits.
-
Some old pics i found of the “hay maker”. I don’t normally mow wet grass, but when it rains for days and the forecast doesn’t look any different…
-
Someone probably replaced the ignition module but never properly torqued the flywheel bolt when they put it back together, which made the key shear. The long key is used to hold the trigger ring in time. Someone else on here had the same problem with a sheared flywheel key due to the PO not torquing the flywheel bolt properly. Does the flywheel bolt have the correct thick washer with it?
-
This was on FB. Pretty cool upgrade for a 704! I wonder about the drive pulley, it’s gotta be a bit large too!
-
That flywheel had definitely spun before and probably because someone put a little woodruff key in there. I don't see that as being the end of that shaft though. Just put the proper key in it and it will hold. I'm no Onan expert and barely know them but most every other engine uses a taper fit lock instead of relying solely on a key to hold them in place for a reason. That's a straight shaft fit so the long key is definitely required
-
That’s the plan, I hope.
-
you guys are a lot more knowledgeable than I am but I sure would clean it up good and try it. just my though.
