My mule drive fell apart - 520H

Recommended Posts

My mule drive fell apart when I was plowing this winter and I grabbed all the parts I saw, but I'm not sure I got everything.  Seems like there should be some spacers or washers to separate the pulleys.  When it goes back together, I'll put a cotter pin through the nut.

Yes a spacer goes between the two pulleys and outer pulley and guard, outer pn 101757 and middle (inner) 101734. The hex nut looks wrong type, parts just calls a hex nut but it has a serrated pattern on back to sorta lock in place Pn 3219-7 (old # 915007)

1/2" long spacer part number 101757 is on the outside between the pulley and cover.

5/8" long spacer part number 101734 is between the pulleys.

Spacer ID needs to slip over 3/4" shaft.

I think I'm going to try to cut some out of some 3/4" pipe.

Actually , those spacers are thin wall tubing - they must fit against the race of the bearing and not interfere with the pulley facing , or it will destroy the pulley . You'll have to measure the largest diameter that will fit the center portion of the bearing race and order the appropriate bushing material or source the spacers from McMaster or similar . Some hardware stores like Ace carry thin walled spacers that could be cut to fit it . I've had to make new ones for the older mules on several of my units due to bearings seizing up and tearing up the bushings ....it's a time consuming project but not all that hard .

Yeah, I thought about that later. Maybe I'll try copper pipe. I've got a lathe, so I could always turn down whatever I use. I see people listed part numbers above. Where would I look for those if I wanted to buy them?

Electrical conduit might work, but if have to by a piece dealer would prob be about that price and your spacing is important. If I get to my spares will get ya a measurement, we know ID a slip over/ loose fit 3/4", length is culprit for now!

      My double pulley deck drive spindle seized up and shredded the shaft. 
       
      Looking for a replacement assembly. 
      My rig is 310-8, 1986ish. 
       
      The deck is 36" rear discharge. Similar vintage but has no identifying tags. 
       
      The drive spindle on this one is front and center, not the older version with the tall spindle near the back.
