My question now is, What would happen if I swap the battery to normal? I will look at the wiring diagram again, but if its all normal as it should be, shouldnt it be fine if I swap the battery around to how it should be connected? I just dont want to burn anything critical up since I know this stuff isnt just sitting on a shelf locally anywhere anymore now a days.

Chain saws I've recently acquired
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
Update on the two chain saws. As suspected, the Jonsered CS 2171 needs a cylinder and piston. The shop is looking for options for both OE and aftermarket. That'll very likely be fixed right and put to use here even if it's several hundred dollars. Those are highly regarded pro grade pieces. The Stihl MS291... also needs a cylinder and piston. That's a high-end homeowner type saw. It's not likely worth fixing. More details in the next few days. -
My '76 c160 is the same but my c165 is not. I have to look at my '73 16 Auto tomorrow to see about that one.

Today’s Haul / ‘Nuther Big Wheeler “Chloe” the 953
953 nut replied to Pullstart's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Not a real Lead Sled but a lead plow horse for sure - Today

Different generation WH grader blades had 2 types of mounts. The early mid mount - like a mower deck, and the later that used the Unidrive plow / tiller mount. So, would you rather do a "push" mount or a "pull" one??

Steering upgrade
gt14rider replied to gt14rider's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Here we go, got them both done. Going to pull the front axle to check on the axle pin and spindles see if I can tighten things up. -
I am not sure about the light, it has not come on yet any way, I will have to check the wiring and all because stranger still, I did probe it with a multimeter, and it does in fact say the positive is positive. So the battery is in backwards and still somehow works!!??

Ok, New Topic, Wheel Horse Rectifier Ignition?
702854boy replied to Railboy's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Maybe the starter got hooked up wrong or something got pinched when the engine was placed back in -
Go to Tractor Supply and get a 5L820 and a 5L810. Use the one that fits best and return the other and you'll be fine. It's a Hydro so you don't have to worry about clutching.

@squonk That is the number (114895) I used to order this belt. No legible writing on old belt but it seems to be shorter when you hold them together in one hand and stretch them out. @Ed Kennell It seems to be same width across the top but it is thicker from top to bottom if that makes sense. It is indeed a 90 model.

They are spacers and after you tigh en the bolt they keep the bracket and arm apart enough to move.

I have a couple old big tractors with positive ground and old school generators and the whole thing works great... but that your coil + is fed from the ignition switch is a question. I think (not sure) they will run with the coil reversed just not well. In your case I would switch back to a negative ground. After you do make sure have 12v at the small + on the coil when the ignition switch is in run. The S/G will polarize itself the first time you start it. Does your Generator red warning light work at all?? Also from your photo it is hard to see if your regulator is wired correctly. It is easy the terminals on the regulator are marked . The 3 you can see should be F field and that wire should go to the F terminal on the generator body. There is a B and that wire will go to the + on the battery (when you redo you r system). the L load goes to the cigar lighter. There is a hidden terminal on the bottom of the regulator it goes to the A terminal on the generator body along with the heavy wire already there.

Put the new shoes on the horse today since the wheels were good and dry. Wheel weights back on tomorrow. And a nice straight hood is in the works. Some minor body work and then prime and paint. Old one has major damage.
-
Tried it and the 2 things you mentioned is true. The PTO arm and the tie rod interference (short frame brings the rods closer to the hitch. ) Unless you plan on pounding on some serious hard pack dirt I don't think the normal hitch would be a problem.

The mid-hitch on my 854 (pre-Attach-a-Matic) is pesky to operate when mounting the mower deck. Small, awkward levers plus clevis pins to lock closed or open. As well, I’m nearly done adapting a heavy Allis-Chalmers mid-mount grader and I’m concerned that for doing real work the factory hitch might not be strong enough. I have a couple of recent mid-hitches off of 500-series tractors and am contemplating an upgrade! Has anyone gone this route? Would it make more sense to find a way to strengthen the factory hitch? From measuring, I know these are not a direct replacement. The newer hitch’s: - Overall height is ½” less (4.5 vs. 5.0 inches) which moves the “mount point” a half-inch higher (the fore/aft position is the same). To keep the deck happy, I’d cannibalize another pair of side plates to add the ½” to the height. - Right side plate doesn’t have the pivot shaft for the PTO clutch/idler pulley’s support arm. I’d add that. - Clearance to the tie rods might be tight where the locking mechanism juts forward (lengthening of the later frames put more distance between the hitch and tie rods)

What year is that tractor. Probably doesn't make a difference but a 1990 model takes a Toro 114895 that crosses to the 5L7830. Any #'s on the old belt?
-
Old belt was worn enough to sink down in the pulley.
-
As long as you don't get either one from another brand or a WH shaker plate engine they would be the same
-
That new belt appears to be much wider than the old one?
-
I had the same issue and the last one I used was from a C175 (#7473) B79 or 82 inch.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
cleat replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I found a chunk of 1/2" thick x 2" wide steel bar and made two more spacers. I now have the rear hitch spaced down 7/8" I now have 4-1/2" of lift on the blade and still have some down float when fully lowered as well. Not a lot when compared to my big tractor and it's cat 1 three point hitch but better than it was. Hopefully now I can move it around the yard in the summer without ripping up too much sod. -
Ordered a new belt for the 520h that I had been working on but it seems a tad to long to me. Here is pics of new belt vs old belt. What y’all think run it or not? Im thinking not.

Sunstrand hydro transmission 90-1173
TC10284 commented on TC10284's classified in Wheel Horse for Sale
I'm trying to think of what all I could use... Deck pullies or spindles? Deck wheels (rear)? Been trying to find a chute for a 108-5 series 30in deck, but I know you said 3/4/500 series. -
@cafoose what exactly are you looking to do ??

Note- all the white blocks are solid chunks of lead.
