Are you planning are transferring the engine from the B-60 to your 856? If not, then I would run it like it is.

I have this B-60 with a Start/Gen engine in it = not by me. I would like to get an original engine for this. This would be my show putter, reason is I’m trying to preserve the 856 I have. Having a hard time finding one around here. I really don’t wanna put a harbor freight engine in it. I know some people like them and some people don’t. Any thoughts are welcome or someone here has one 100 miles or less. I’d be willing to pick it up. These are cool little tractors. With a big gas tank. I’m thinking you could drive multiple days on one tank at the shows. I’ve only seen a couple in my time. Thanks for any thought`s.

Snowblower Deflector Actuator

I put this on my tall chute a while back. Mounted this way the 6" stroke is spot on. The control is mounted in a pvc handy box with a magnet. The directional crank works just fine for me. -
My 1st brand new vehicle was a 1991 S10 Tahoe. I was 18yrs old. Had 4.3 w/3:42 posi rear end. Did a few performance bolt ons to engine, headers, exhaust, shift kit, etc. It ran pretty good after that. Lowered trucks were the trend at that time.

That is for a 2" square receiver hitch. Not meant for a WH slot hitch...

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Today I got the replacement PTO belt for the 312 so now I can mow again and interestingly enough it’s the same size as the belt for my 37” SD so I just bought another. I also eventually changed a blown 15A fuse on the C-141 so the lights would work again. While I was I there I made sure the lights had plenty of clean metal for good contact. No pics though. -

Since we’re sharing muscle cars, here is My father’s 67 Mustang coupe It has a 68 302 with a 4 speed. It’s a transplanted 6 cylinder car that he and I and one of my three brothers helped him swap. It’s eventually going to be a clone of the Mustang he had in high school. he’s about 3/4 of the way now to that, but it still needs work.

ISO 8 speed 1" axle shaft shipped to TN. May consider reasonably priced 4 pinion or 8 pinion complete trans if close to East Tennessee region.

106079 and 106108 blades replaced by106635 3-blade set. Center blade may be a different length. Places like Oregon, Stens and Napa will sell individual blades but Toro does not.

This is where I routed mine on the 416 I built last year. I know you don't have that hydraulic line but you could fasten it there another way.

Snowblower Deflector Actuator
Handy Don replied to TheMooseIsLoose's topic in Implements and Attachments
Not a bad idea, but be sure to pay attention to the actuator's speed vs. stroke. Many move at 0.5” per second or less. That’s 8 (long) seconds for a 4” stroke to switch a chute from one side to the other. It the load is light, consider a mechanism that multiplies the actuator’s displacement. -
If some one gets it for under 3 its a smokin deal. They won't tho I've been offered 3.5 k + for mine. That one will go for just South of 4 I'll guess.

Think I have the same one but my blower is a 2 stage plus the rotation of the chute is also motorized. -
Thanks for the Models#s I researched them and settled on the 85-42MR01. 1) The belt that came with it measured 98" (O.D.) 2) It has the rubber bumpers 3) It resembles what I have. The blade part # 106635 lists it as a blade kit. Does that mean single blades are not an option? Just wondering... Thanks Again for the research. Simplecity

Evening, Came across this marketplace… seller asking $165.00. Would this work with an 856 if hitch? Anyone use one? Would it be safe to lift something and not top tractor stationary? Driving? current rear tires are fluid filled so much more weight. Place to change to new no fluid tires.

Interesting. Maybe if I didn't already have some square steel tube on hand, I would get some fresh hardwood to replace what is probably just pine. It may be too late already. Going on a road trip and by the time I get back, hopefully the major heat wave is over. Maybe I'll just plan on replacing it either way. But like I said, I think I'll attack the possible fuel supply problem first. Thanks!

Thank you. I should have mentioned in my post that raising the flywheel side of the tractor a few inches makes the work easier and safer.
-
I copied this idea from one of your earlier postings and it worked perfectly. I was almost disappointed that the flywheel came off so easily! After removing the puller and going to remove the center bolt, be SURE you are ready to hold onto the flywheel! It is heavy and awkward to handle!
-
Since the problem is very likely heat related you will not have a valid test or fix if you wait. The repair takes about 2 hours with the shroud being the most trouble. The flywheel will need a puller, I made a simple plate with 4 holes to match the the threaded holes in the flywheel plus a tapped hole in the center. I don't like to use the typical steering wheel puller but many do just that. The flywheel bolt should be loosened about 1-1/2 to 2 turns and your puller will push against it. When installing the flywheel make sure the surfaces are completely clean and then apply just a hint of rust preventative. Torque the bolt to 55 lb ft.

MANY an early engine used hardwood frame and engine supports. Hickory, rock maple, and white oat are all available without too much effort.
