DBlackston 298 #1 Posted October 3, 2022 Have any of you ever seen one of these extended belt covers for an HY-3? I have seen alot of the short ones that go right by the pump but never one that goes all the way to the motor drive pulley. Kind of neat and I like to ride my 854 with HY-3 with my neice and that would make me feel better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,812 #2 Posted October 3, 2022 It doesn’t look too hard to fab up. Do you have access to a sheet metal brake? Or even some 2x4 lengths that you could make a makeshift brake? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 8,296 #4 Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) This is a picture of the OE guard - HY-2 on a 702... Yup, a fair amount of exposed belt there... as @Pullstart said, not a big deal to fab up an extension.... just have to watch for interference with the PTO foot lever.

Lane Ranger 10,947 #5 Posted October 3, 2022 That extended cover on the 854 looks very much like the early rj/suburban front reel mower belt cover. I sold two of those on here several years ago when Rodney Burger and I bought $5000 of old Wheel Horse parts ( pre 1970 stuff). But it also may be a homemade version that was similar in design. They were a little like #3819 side mower guard but attached very similar to one on the 854 pic. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,801 #6 Posted October 4, 2022 So you are saying Lane they were not offered as optional in the day? Or maybe but adapted from other parts by dealers? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DBlackston 298 #8 Posted October 6, 2022 Thanks for the info guys. Its just always interesting to see all the extra options, different uses, or home made items that are on some of these factors! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
