Might be worth the price if both engines are in good running order, and rest of tractor would be parts IMHO. -

The engine on the right could run and not be connected. - Today

A piece of sandpaper wrapped around a flat stick will also work. You could paint them but some of it will get worn off once the belt starts turning. The pulleys should spin smooth when you turn by hand applying pressure in and out. If it is rough, loose or noisy the bearing is failing. If they spin a lot on a fast spin the bearings are lacking lubrication. If you have more than one idler compare the feel of both. You may notice a difference. A bearing that is starting to fail can lock up while operating and you may not notice it. That can destroy a belt.

Just to give you an idea of the matte look, this black hood was done in matte. I think the 520 hoods had a bit more shine, like the guys said semi gloss or even gloss. Most of the old 520 hoods I have had, the paint job from the factory was chincy and rubbed though and faded.

I guess I’m on the lookout now for new flywheel. If anyone’s got one, please let me know. If you know where I can get one at a reasonable price, please let me know that as well. Thanks.

Sundstrand hydro gear Transmission
McTurff replied to McTurff's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
There is a nut holding shaft i read that others with this problem unscrewed the nut and we're able to get pb blaster down the shaft a bit easier? Anyway i will start this process! -

Sundstrand hydro gear Transmission
CRF857 replied to McTurff's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
It took months of soaking and tapping, but my tow valve finally broke loose. Be patient and don’t force it too soon. I keep it “exercised” regularly. -

While looking at gearbox options for Colossus I found that there are options that include a 2 gear, same speed in/out rotation reverser. Someone needs to buy this just so we can disect it. -

McTurff replied to McTurff's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Yes that lever moves back and forth fine forward neutral reverse! The tow valve or control valve which allows the transmission to go into neutral and be pushed is stuck or froze up! I did find a discussion searching different forums that others have experienced the same problem from a machine that has been sitting outside for years! They were able to spray some pb blaster or other to break the control shaft loose! They were all stuck pretty good! Hoping I get that lucky 🙏 Thanks! -
Mine appear to be semi gloss on the 300 and 400 series.

Why did the police arrest the turkey? They suspected it of fowl play! What do you get when a chicken lays an egg on top of a barn? An eggroll!

@FLtractor, where do you come up with all of these shall we say INTERESTING Wheel Horses? With the correctly ground cam shaft the engine on the right could be made to turn counterclockwise (flywheel end) like automotive engines that are used as inboard twins. Is such a camshaft commercially available, I doubt it. If both engines ran hydraulic pumps whos rotation matched the engines and their combined output ran a hydraulic motor that powered the trans axle it could be functional. Probably have to add a couple feet to the frame to do that. Guess you could always connect both engines to a jackshaft after removing the pistons and rods from the right side engine allowing the other engine to rotate and make people think it is running backward and come up with a real good story about how you ground your own cam using a Dermal. -

Bar Nuthin replied to McTurff's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
That's normal - as it should be A hydro transmission would have motion control, not a shifter. There is no neutral, only "stop". Somewhere on the transmission should be a " tow valve" that can be opened to allow the tractor to be free-wheeled (pushed/towed) -
Ahh, okay! I’ll try to pick up a file and get rid of the rust. Do I need to paint them again afterward? Also, how easily should those pulleys spin without the belt on them? Should they spin several rotations with just a small nudge or have more resistance than that? Thank you for the help!

So far as I know the spring is the correct one. It’s located under the seat, correct? I’ll try to get a picture of it this evening. I have it adjusted for what seems to be maximum tension in those pictures above and it still seems loose.
