That is how that pulley is made, all one piece , not a separate tube
-
The ARK control may be one which has OUT and BYD internally joined unless a special plug is inserted to separate those two ports. Need the specs.

I was rummaging through old posts and realized this thread deserved an update. Last series of posts here concerned attaching a muffler nipple to a K181 exhaust port that had no threads due to rust and exhaust erosion. I was successful with using an NPT tap to get some threading and then reinforced it with JB Weld Steel epoxy. Update... After about a year of use, the epoxy softened and the muffler stared to wobble. (as @WHX?? predicted just after I’d finished the repair ). Acetone and careful scraping removed the old epoxy. Then I went through most of the sequence again but this time using the white JB Weld High Temperature epoxy that @squonk suggested (also a bit after I’d finished the first repair 😉). I was concerned that this epoxy cures to a more brittle composition (somewhat akin to ceramics) but after more than three years the muffler is still solidly in place. The 854 is alive and well as my worker for mowing (36” gear deck), towing, and plowing (42”). I’ve posted about these implements elsewhere. Full repaint. F-plate reinforcement, 6-speed, one-piece gas tank, custom dash with volt and amp meters, front attach-a-matic, solenoid start, new rubber (Carlisle and Firestone), and a couple new decals!

But the drive didn’t happen without a little leak first. The cooler I stuck on may have been restrictive. It blew the input line out and sprayed down the whole shop! I added a new cooler and high pressure hose. IMG_8493.jpeg

We took a drive tonight. Mrs. P drove it like she parked it yesterday! Things it needs yet: Throttle adjustment. The hydroboost seems to be enough of a drag at idle, it’ll stall if you spike the brakes hard enough. Wiper motor, wipers I have another motor. I just need to swap it in. Windshield its a little cracked, all over. IMG_8503.jpeg

Penetrol (Before and After)
ineedanother replied to squonk's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I looked at one of my tillers today and realized I need to soak it down. Not sure why I haven't done that yet. I have a quart or more of penetrol in the shop so I put it on the list for this weekend -
@ebinmaine Hey Eric, can you post a pic of that loader valve?
-
The first unit is made by Peco. You may find more information online about the mounting system for a WH. The second on is obviously WH but you will need the rear axle bracket and the pulleys that bolt under the fender pan. Also to be on the safe side, the proper belt guard and foot rest. All of this is probably covered in the manual that @gwest_ca posted for you. I’m just going by memory.

Where to get a wiring harness or not...
jeremyjohnson@gmx.com posted a topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
I've had a 414 - 8 for several years and have just begun giving it an overhaul. The things in pieces getting cleaned up and different parts are getting the attention they have need for some time. So I was considering a new wiring harness. I'm certainly not finding one in my internet searches, but I had a feeling that someone in this forum would be able to point me in the right direction or bring me into reality as to what I should expect. Do I just need to fabricate the connections? Am I wasting my time trying to find some used rat's nest off of somebody's old tractor? I'd appreciate any feedback. I'm hoping to get this thing put back together soon. -

Missing the shift rail retainer on Suburban 551
Dave D. replied to Dave D.'s topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Thanks for the response. Looking at the videos of transmission rebuilds. When it gets a little cooler, I'll look at flushing the trans. I'm sure as long as it has been sitting, it will need going through. Compiling a list of stuff needed. Thanks, Dave -
I'll need pulley # 113049 also. That appears to be the last piece to this journey. Also mentioned before but wasn't positive if the the tube portion underneath the pulley is part of the pulley or not. Didn't see an item/part# for a separate piece. No luck on ebay, etc. Thanks for the feedback thus far.

Zink Phosphate primer or Zink Chromate primer chemically bonds to aluminum best. Other primers won't have as good a bond.

So “IN” was “P”, “OUT” was “T”, and BYD was, “N”. Unless used, BYD should be plugged.

Just joining finally time to work on the $40 Suburban 551
Dave D. replied to Dave D.'s topic in Introductions
Sounds like it's a Briggs. I was hoping it was a more appropriate engine for this project. Since it's missing the cover, I'll keep on looking for a suitable engine. Those Kohlers are pricey! Thanks, Dave -
By taking the bolts out ? or Going like stink in forward and slamming on the brake with the hood unlatched?

How can I attach this to my Electro Charger 12? Found on Market Place and it seems to be complete and well maintained. No model numbers. Might be for a later model Horse but Im trying to adapt it. At the same time I also bought the wheelhorse cart with canvas and rear mounted blower that is belt driven all like new that I may want to take the motor from the 1st mulcher and adapt to that trailer. Open to suggestions. If I could find the front mount blower for my older style long frame that would be a big win too but leaf season is close and I now need to make something from what I have.

Mine were all marked IN OUT BYD and the rest were the cylinder ports.

Just guessing, Briggs. That shaft appears to be too high up for a Teccy and also, not many updraft carbs on them. The updraft carb on a Teccy would be a Tolliston carb.
