You might be acle to make/use sumin like this (The tab on top of idler pulley). Main thing is belt has to stop turning for everything to work right. Pulled this pic off interweb and is not my mochine.

Perhaps the seller withdrew the listing, I've had this happen on a couple of times when I was the only bidder.

You need to support the bottom of the belt to keep it off of the crankshaft pulley. Usually, there is a tab on the belt side of the belt guard that performs this function. Wheel Horses generally need to have the belt guard installed to keep the belt off of the crankshaft pulley in order to stop the belt and be able to shift gears. to the forum. Lots of good folks here. I'm pretty sure that as a group, the regular contributors here have broken and fixed just about everything on a Wheel Horse that can be broken and fixed. Even better, they share their opinions and advice freely - sometimes it is even helpful.

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse
ebinmaine replied to rjg854's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
That's adjustable. My own '75 C160 Automatic does not hold and I leave it that way on purpose. I actually like the need for constant adjustment .. it helps me pay attention while plowing snow. My Ole Man's "Ugly Bruce tractor" does hold.... BUT.... the hilly terrain dictates the need for constant adjustment anyways.... -
On the rare occasion I participate in online auctions I always set a max bid.

I've done pics of the process on a K341 in the past. I do have other K341s that'll be addressed sometime but no time for it right now. I'd certainly be happy to make a video of the pin removal. -

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse

Pushed back the leaf pile today with the C-145 auto. Not loving that motion control lever, doesn’t stay in position so I find I’m holding it with my right hand almost all the time. -
Unsure what I got but it's a story...

@hcminis Please start a new thread on this hitch. I have a strong feeling the guy’s would be all over this at the Big Show. Myself included! By then I’m sure you can figure out who’s tractor you’re going to use for the setup. I might know where there’s one or two that might look nice hooked up to that! - Today

Most people wait until the last few minutes of an auction so the bidding doesn't get out of hand.

My_horse replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
That’s the original finish. I wash it maybe twice a year. It does get stored in a shed. nothing special about the plow. Picked it up at the big show at least 15 years ago. The pivot mechanism works fine the way it is from the factory. Nice and smooth. I think the only thing I did was to change the pivot handle to one that works for this tractor. what do you recommend for a replacement seat? -
I’m guessing someone got a good deal one way or the other?

Let’s talk TIRES

And the fronts, 13x5.00-6. Again, bit narrow. Diameter pretty spot on again. Armor brand. Made in China. -
Let’s talk TIRES
sjoemie himself replied to Sparky-(Admin)'s topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Mounted the tires for the Toro Frankensteins dumper and figured since I was doing a photoshoot anyway why not take some measurements for future reference. Ordered these 'Armor' brand tires through work. I like the coarse tread on them and they were pretty affordable, I believe they were about $175,- for all four. 18x9.50-8 Actual measurements at about 20 psi. Bit narrow.. Pretty close I'd say. -
I installed a 5 hp Briggs on my Suburban 400 with the pulley system as shown. When i push in the brake petal to shift to another gear, all the tension is released but the belt still turns the pulley on the trans. Is the a fix for this? Would appreciate any suggestions.

Toro/Frankensteins' Greens aerator dumper
sjoemie himself replied to sjoemie himself's topic in other brands
Well, famous last words in the previous post..anyhow.. I did finally manage to get the tires mounted with not even that many rage inducing moments The mounting in itself was alright but unfortunately I did damage the rims a tiny bit. I can't understand why there's no cheap tool yet to easily mount small tires like this without damaging the rim. I looked at a bunch of YT tutorials but 99% seem to just ram a tire iron in there and call it good. **rant mode off** I'm hoping for a bit higher temps going into the wekend so I can do a bit of touch-up and get the wheels mounted. I like the white a lot more than I though I would. Hard to keep clean probably but that's OK. -

I got my multimeter out and with the wiring diagram I found out I was getting 13v all the way to the end of the wire off the transmission neutral interlock safety switch thing. The problem was in the wire coming off the other side of the solenoid terminal that runs down to the threaded stud on the mower deck. I temp connected a jumper wired from the other terminal of the solenoid to a different ground and it fired right up with the key switch. So I made another wire and ran it to another chassis ground under the seat. I don't really understand why they put the starter solenoid ground wire to the mower deck at the factory, but maybe I just don't know their reasoning. Regardless, it appears to be resolved. Thanks!

@My_horse. what are you using on your paint ? looks like lubrication to me , deep solid depth to me , those seats are easy , also a good time to , add vibration pad blocks at bolt area s , lets you dial in a , more desirable angle . did that on my 3 horses , do any enhancements on your plow set up ? quadrant swing point ? pete -
It looks like it would swing back when tilling and when tiller is lifted for removal would swing down to become a jack stand. Very ingenious!

Racinbob replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
It's a K301 and I've been told that there's room to get the gears out unlike the 321 or 341. This is my first time doing this. -
Try it first you can always take it off later might work like a charm....
