Side shot Saturday... AND SUNDAY !

Front side... 5" fresh poof this morning... -
Hi all, my brother in law just got a 2 stage WH snowblower that I installed on his 414-8. I know it is going to use all 14 of those horses to run it but he really wanted it. The biggest problem that I see right now is that when you lift it up to just the minimal lift, the belt touches the muffler on the K321 engine. Anyone run into this or have suggestions? Thank you.

Brake rod assembly ready to install. Brake rod just inserted into parking brake cam and return spring installed. Rod was greased where it inserts into cam plate. Rod fully inserted into cam plate then washer and clip installed. Note the smaller clip, the one shown earlier was causing interference with the cam plate bolt. Brake return spring with rod fully installed into cam plate. Brake spring and bolt assembly ready to install. There should be 3 washers, only two are shown in this picture. Brake spring assembly installed just finger tight. I will set this later on when parking brake latch is installed. Brake pedal ready to install. Tractor ready to accept brake pedal. Brake pedal installed. Overview of complete brake system.

@BradKahler the secret to deck preservation is to never let it get bad , been doing this for years to all my tractor , attachment's , breaking the grunge cycle is what has to be done , regularly use a cable and chain spray , after clean out , have also removed any / all grass trapping set ups . call them " rot boxes " all my decks also cut and just about self clean , with discharge , always cut at highest setting , this is also how I store my decks, after a hot sun lubrication bake , they are on the rear wheels up against the wall , screw in eye bolt and heavy spring to lift linkage , insures , visual inspection ease . also did all my bearings over , with lucas green chassis grease , deck , mule drive , pto set up , never had a failure or whyining noise . the big difference is that I went after EVERY RELATED ROTATIONAL PART ASSEMBLEY , for lubrication upgrade , that absolutely killed off the rust / grunge issue . my personal experience with decks , evolved into total , enhancement . have 3 decks like this , hours of hot sun is the lubrication killer , no rust / rot anywhere . also never burned out a pto clutch , every related pulley moves with ease , no belt squealing , just my own experience , pete

There should be a number stamped on the flat part of the block under the muffler. In addition to the timing cover and rotor you will need a long key to drive the rotor, I don't know if it is a direct fit. The breathers have been changed over the years with early ones coming out of a valve cover and later ones from the block, compare what you have.

Looks like different setup to me, trottle cable is connected by one solid screw to the left side of flywheel cover? I will look forward to it...

The factory coil kit from Onan needs machine work as well and extension wire and a new bracket are included, the studs on the coil are also weak and will not be replaced under warranty if stripped. The two coil studs are different sizes and you might have metric threads on the replacement. You should have a "gasket" under the module, it is used to insulate some of the engine heat, older models didn't have it but you should add it.

Happy Birthday Brian I hope you have a great day!

The throttle cable is not hooked up correctly.. you may be missing a couple parts. The cable works on a bell crank which has a solid shaft that goes to the governor linkage. However given how hard it is to get parts in Poland if it works..live with it...

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Dan 312-8 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Definitely takes finesse. I have replaced more than one heat shield support in my time. Patience is key to the successful completion. Thankful for my Tig welder. -
Based on experience with WH O-ring part numbers i would say #92 is a Dash 132

Sunstrand hydo leaks are 99% of the time pump input seal, motion control o rings or hydro hose failures...and manifold leaks on D series. That your motor is painted black makes me wonder if some one separated it from the pump. Is the pump black also??? If someone did separate the pump and motor then that is a potential leak just like the manifold leaks on D series. Wipe it down and see if you can isolate the leak point

I use 10W-30 year round. I personally like synthetic oil. Mobil 1 10W-30 full synthetic is easy to get in my area.

Powered Snow Blower Chute Control
wallfish replied to wallfish's topic in Implements and Attachments
It's so much easier with electric controls with the cab. The speed of rotation is super helpful when turning around 180 degrees and shooting the snow the same direction. It can be done without stopping or even slowing down. The total of the chute throw from the middle of that bracket is about 6" (I believe) The actuator I had is a 4" throw (I believe) so that's why it's attached to the side instead of the middle. Still works perfect either way but attaching it to the side like that does speed it up for the travel distance end to end. -
Have a Great Day Brian

A 90 year old living in an assisted living facility alone makes almost any cord on the floor a liability to the facility. I don't like it or agree with it, but it's the world we now live in. If she falls while she is alone and is injured there will be an "investigation" by someone, and if they see that coax cable laying on the floor it is going to be assumed, whether rightly or not, that it was the cause of the fall, and then the facility is under the microscope for allowing it.

Welcome! 10W30 all year should be just fine. Gas Gauge - Remove the cap from the tank - inside the cap there is a metal spiral track. Sometimes, that metal gets rusty and impedes the vertical movement of the float. Move the float up and down the track & watch the gauge - it should follow the movement as the float twists the inner spiral. Two more - the float or mechanism are damaged or missing. The float is fuel logged and does not float. If so for both, replace the assembly.

There is no hour meter on the tractor, but I found mouse nest under engine cover so I'm assuming that my tractor has spent many months in the barn.. Do you use 10W30 all year round or just in winter time? I don't have much to cut, but more around the house chores. I suppose that I can use 10W30 year round?

Throttle cable looks fine to me. They were always a little on the long side.
