WOW....Thank you all very much for your replies and help here. Sounds like the best option to start with is grinding down my crank, so I am going to start there and fingers crossed this repair my overall issue. I will keep you all updated, and THANK YOU all again for your help here.

Front Mount Trailer Hitch
Bar Nuthin replied to 56servi's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
This one I made works really well (despite the hideous welds) I also have one of the permanent mount ones like in @Lane Ranger's post, that I would part with if someone needs it. -
Next likely place would be battery cables and grounds.

My wife is the same way. Even thought I built an 18 x 20 pole building designed exclusively for the horses, several of them have kept into the garage.

Front Mount Trailer Hitch

Here's my entry. Not as easy to install and remove as I'd like, but I was in a hurry and it works well. -

After some consideration, I'm rethinking the smoke generator. If I go with one, I don't want the smoke to pass by the fan due to tar and soot buildup.

Made a front hitch to move the trailer I bought recently. Not as easy to install and remove as I'd like, but it works. -

Happy 20th Anniversary Red Square Picture Heavy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to RED SQUARE...and many more !!!! -
I'm going to say that the idler pulley has nothing to do with the width of your belt. 5/8" belt is correct. You need the belt to slip on the drive pulley for the trans to work properly. It does not need to slip on the idler pulley. You could wire brush your drive and input pully's and wipe them with mineral spirits. That should solve your issue.

Camper cover building construction thread
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
Today we got the whole stack of standing seam accessories sorted out and also unloaded the shortest crate. That held the 96" panels. We moved the 16 foot trailer over to the side, and moved the camper under the frame, so Trina could use the walkable camper roof as her "staging" for installing the building metal roof panels. After some experimentation with setup we screwed the one panel in place. Upon attempting to install the second panel we discovered that our screws from stock have heads that are too thick for usage in the standing seam metal. We'll order some pancake head sheet metal screws. Not being able to work on the roof we decided to switch gears and install the end metal. That's the metal that was originally kit supplied for the roof. The lighter color here at picture left. We then decided to stay on the ground for installation today. We opened up the package of long panels. These are 19' 10" long and heavier guage. Hindsight being 20/20 I could have ordered them half the length (plus overlap) and we'd have an easier time with installation. The far side of the building was very bowed in the middle so we dug out some stones and sand. We'll let that settle overnight and see how the metal sets. -
Seal removal tricks?
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Sparky-(Admin)'s topic in Transmissions and transaxles
She’s back together! I made a few laps around the yard. Tested all gears in both high and low range and this “untested” trans from my stash has proven to be good! This particular transmission was from a C-81 I bought in NY with a blown engine. I figured it’s only had a little 8hp engine in front of it so how bad a life could it have had . Couple loose end to take care of like get the tow hitch back on as well as the plow bracket. Here’s the issue. This summer I installed a new 7473 belt and (I think) a new/used idler pulley. That belt has felt to short, meaning the clutch pedal only had to come up 1/2” and she was instantly grabbing, kinda popping wheelies. I reassembled it with a new belt from TSC and it’s doing the exact same thing. I honestly thought the other belt was the issue. What’s the diameter of the idler pulley? Maybe mines a wee bit to big? Thoughts?? -
Great video. You all have helped me a lot. 20 years of great people and great knowledge. Great People and great site. Dave

When I was selecting photos that would be in the video the primary consideration was having people having fun with the Wheel Horse and an American flag gave the photo extra credit. Thank you for posting the pictures of your parade horses.

Happy 20th Anniversary Red Square Picture Heavy
EB-80/8inPA replied to 953 nut's topic in non tractor related discussion
Happy 20th anniversary to the forum and the founders, and all my best to the great folks who make this special place what it is. I joined a little over five years ago. At some point in the not too distant I expect to get around to posting something, anything, that might actually prove useful to somebody. In the meantime, thank you to everyone who have helped me out along the way! You guys are great! Thanks! -
here are 2 sixty inch decks i once had few yrs ago -- you can see center pulley on each -- both decks have the pto belt attached - - not sure if this is helpful for your discussion? if you need me to zoom the photo for close up and re-post - let me know? Bill

That had been eliminated already by the previous owner. But who’s to say it was done right.

Instead of creating a separate post, I will add to this one since Richard did such an amazing job with the video, thank you! Many of you know how this place came about: Chris, high school project, @Sparky babbling it up, and me looking for a snow plow, so I am not going to rehash the origins of the forum. When RedSquare started to grow, we picked the right team to help us build this place how we would like to see a forum run. We really tried to stop the hate posts and the sarcastic answers, to give the members a good place to ask their questions, and to allow a safe place for the younger members to be. In the beginning, it was a little challenging, and some of the initial members left to form their own forums with their own view of how they would like their site to run. Which was fine with us! After a few years, RedSquare became basically self-moderating. There is just the vibe of “it’s how we do things here” that ALL of you follow every day that keeps the forum running smoothly. When things go awry, our moderators quickly jump in to get things back on track. It amazes me just how few members (spammers excluded) we have had to ban permanently. I couldn’t be prouder of how RedSquare turned out; it far exceeded any expectation that I ever had. It really is hard to fathom that it has been 20 years, but that’s what the numbers say. I have always felt that RedSquare had a definite and positive influence on the Wheel Horse community. @gwest_ca was running the Wheel Horse Manuals group on Yahoo groups, and I forget who approached who, but with the Yahoo Groups shutting down, he offered to build the manuals section for us here. If you were not aware, Garry is 100% in charge of the manuals section—he kicked me out and told me to keep my hands off his baby. (Ok, not really, but close 😉) I can’t think of any other site, Toro included, that has a more comprehensive or better organized area for Wheel Horse manuals. Garry, I can’t thank you enough! So many members throughout the years have stepped up to build this place to where it is today, from volunteering to organize the forum better, to creating regular fun posts, making calendars, promoting the forum, and of course sharing your knowledge. For me, it’s never been about the tractors; it’s always been about the people, and we have the best. Congratulations on 20 incredible years of building something that truly matters to people. It's an amazing milestone! -
Just making sure I’m not losing my mind. To change the rectifier on a 520xi, normally a10 minute job, you need to raise the engine to get to it. My plan is to mount a new rectifier at an accessible location above the frame rail and call it good. Anyone else run into this problem? How did you resolve it?
