I have $350 invested in everything seen in the photo (plus some misc. spacers, nuts and bolts) I will only be looking to recover my investment.

Worked some this week on the 551 among other projects. Steering wheel is done. More questions on this tractor. The steering bushings seem rusted and worn out. Do you just Cuse a hone and clean them up? Is there a fix? Can you install a sleeve? The top support bearing is really rusty and there are some grooves in the steering shaft where you grease it. Also, it looks as if someone cut the shaft where the brake and clutch pedals are attached. Will I need to re-weld this shaft? The collar holds them, although I don't think it would be too strong. Getting ready to tear into the tranny. Thanks for all the info so far. Dave

Test it first, don't replace a perfectly good switch. Flickering tells me you could have a wire with a loose connection or insulation that is frayed and making contact with ground. Page 6-4 of the service manual tells you what to do. Any oil pressure switch that closes at 3 to 5 psi and has 1/8" pipe thread will do the job.

Unsure what I got but it's a story...
hcminis replied to BPEisenhower's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I don’t want to hijack this thread any more than necessary. I would be happy to bring the hitch to Big Show. However I have not gotten a wagon made nor ever completely set it up with tractors. I can create another thread to see if there is any interest in me bringing it out and maybe other using their machines to complete the team hitch -
The lift arm shaft assembly in the upper left has the square block - it is from a HY-3. That fits round hoods from 1963 and 1964... perhaps 1965 too. At the lower right is the same Unidrive bracket I have on my 854, the one in the upper right is the 702 style.

Why do cowboys ride horses? Because they're too heavy to carry!

MUCH better than letting it sit outside or on a shed dirt floor.....

856 addict commented on davem1111's classified in Wheel Horse for Sale
yes sir! i get off work at 3:30 so anytime after that is fine by me -
In the Old West, cowboys travelling home in the dark used to tie a lantern to their horse's saddle to help them find their way. It was an early form of saddle-light navigation.

@Machria did this years ago , stainless steel cable , and MACS CHAIN / CABLE LUBE , NAPA , also made up a chute base , slide gasket ? picked up a VINYL SNOW SLIDER , Walmart , measured up slide area , cut out a gasket , vinyl and lube makes for a very smooth / easy swing , basically detailed the hell out of every movement area , and ENHANCED THEM . that stainless cable , and lube is like seamless , also threaded the end of the swing lever ? screw on a round knob , make glove / mitten use , very easy , only a suggestion , pete -
That tree was much too close to the house, though it provided a lot of shade. Your insurance company thanks you very much.

When you do post this in the classifieds, how much are you going to want for it all? If I remember correctly with my pump my lever was able to move freely with just the resistance of the broken spring, need a day where I can tear into all of it so I can use it this winter with my snowblower I got for free from @Pullstart

That is one of those iconic "wish I could se it in person" Wheel Horse historical gems. Please bring it to the WHCC Big show. Here is another photo of it. -

We do have both of those so we might have to look into this. At the moment I'm waiting for a couple of days where I can tear a tractor apart without it being in too much of the way. -
Removing Mower deck pulleys
peter lena replied to Brockport Bill's topic in Implements and Attachments
@Brockport Bill regularly refer to lubrication , something else I do , is to just regularly add some kroil , to an up coming service area , that way any related movement , days / weeks out its creeping in , also if possible pull out set screw , for more direct start point , typically notice a , creeping film related to movement, done a lot of that . just the way I look at a service issue , pete -
I wasn't sure what exactly I was getting when he showed me that 702. Got another one he was going to restore but it's in boxes, bags and crates on a shelf. Unfortunately, one front tire is shot, blew apart when he aired it up 😭. Rims definitely need sandblasting but for now, I'm happy to hear it run again, hopefully this weekend

875 Wheel-A-Matic
Pullstart replied to 702854boy's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Do you have a bandsaw? Sawzall if not? If you slice the F plate from bottom to top, or even at an angle 45 degrees from the corner, you could pull it square and re weld it. I’ve seen your welds, I’d trust them. -
After test fitting up this hydraulic system, I realized it's kind of dumb for me to install this on a tractor that I only plan on using for joy riding. I'll be adding everything in the photo to classifieds soon, but I want to resolve a question so that I represent it as accurately as possible. I've not tested these pumps, but when I try to move the levers, I notice that,,, the old crusty looking one I can move the lever smoothly the one that looks like it's been rebuilt is very stiff and difficult to move Could this be the result of having new seals and no fluid, or is it likely a bigger problem? (FYI - the lift shaft is for HY-3)

I don't have either sides for the deck but, I don't believe those are difficult to make out of 14 or 16 gauge steel. But, I have to go back and get another 702 he disassembled and in boxes, Ziploc bags and coffee cans. It was going to be a parade tractor but got put on a shelf. However, it came with one rule, I had to paint it and make usable again or he would haunt me 😂
