Karl, the folks who have never experienced a catastrophic failure of a high speed assembly like a flywheel or a clutch may be of the opinion "no biggie, weld, glue or snap off the opposite fin". Those who have experienced or witnessed such failures will be understandably steadfast to the philosophy of "replaced it at all costs." There is also middle ground that has been expressed here too. Have the part taken to a machine shop, checked for cracks and have the broken fin and the opposite fin MACHINED off (not broken off) and a quick check of static or even dynamic balance and you have a useable flywheel, You will be paying out $$$ for this precision work. I agree with the replacement philosophy and the safety factor that affords you and your family. You would probably never think of pointing the outlet of your mower toward your family while your mower is running over a gravel driveway - please don't think that a flywheel exploding would be any less a danger to your family or friends. The key here is understanding. Understanding (and sometimes experience with) the forces involved in a chunk of cast iron leaving the engine area at speeds well over 100mph. Also, check out Google or YouTube for a brief introduction to the MagnaFlux process. Once you understand how a small crack in cast iron (most often undetectable by the naked human eye) can ruin your day, you will also understand what must be done. Live long and prosper.

We are sick people,sick sick people.

if you put the bottom of the big tank above the bottom of the stock one, plumb out of the bottom of the big one into the small one above the bottom the remote will always keep the stocker filled. When your gas gauge starts moving, you are now on reserve.

It's a good thing we have to play the games Mike, and not listen to what a bunch of towel boys have to say. :) DA BEARS

hey i bought a wheel horse 520-8 out of state college this is what it lloks like now

Plow 40 acres in the morning then get a friend to hold your beer while you do donuts all afternoon.

This is my 856 once owned by Bob T. In Pa. It is a sweet running tractor. I have a rear discharge mower deck for it but mostly like to putt around our property and pull my little dump trailer as shown here hauling wood duty. Uncle Bob earns his keep.

hers another way to do chains on the front

:woohoo: You guys did it. Really nice looking tractor that Uncle Bob is.

Put the belt cover back on. The clutch does not release the belt without the cover in place. Oh, and :WRS:

The word is approximately 600. I have doubts that the number was that high.

Exactly what I want to do to my 702.

WOW, that is a great looking horse! :bow-blue:

LOL! What do you mean...doesn't everybody have one? :scratchead:

Hey Duff...5 years...special...Happy Anniversary :happy-jumpeveryone: You are one of the best.

Ya know were not talking about a expensive or hard to change part. I just don't understand the just use it mentality. Theres no way I'd use a broken flywheel or repair one.

You guys are too Much! Build a Grill and now ya wanna put the damn thing in lights! Well today I installed the framework and then installed the tank. As you can see by the pictures the tops of the two tanks are about level. The Big tank holds about 8-9 gal max. The stock tractor tank is 2.5 gallons. You will see in the video that the big tank is about full and when I open the valve to the stock tank the Large Tank back fills into that tank. After the stock tank is empty there will always be about 3-4 gallons of fuel left in the Large add on fuel tank, being it is deeper than the stocktank. I will try and see if I can find a tank sensor for the large tank. Anyways here are some pics of the finished product and a video. ~Duke

OK, Update & Pic. I cut and hauled firewood most of the day. Well that and turning the cutting blade on my 6 foot tractor blade 180degrees so I can have a fresh cutting edge. ( I wear a both sides of a cutting blade out every two years). Also tuned on the 312 carb some more. This time started with the low speed, then high speed adjustment. Now I have it almost where I want it. I think the serious carb tweaking along with a new spark plug is going to get the 12hp Kohler running to my satisfaction. Now it will idle really slow, to where you can almost count the revolutions. Thats a good sign to me. I cleaned on it a little more too. Also installed some lightly used headlight trim pieces. The next thing to polish on is the seat/fender pan. Also replace one of the tail light lenses. Then clean it all some more. I want to have it as clean as possible come Christmas Morning. Anyway here is tonights pic.
