ebinmaine 66,579 #3 Posted March 30, 2021 Cool chipper. I have one here I'll be putting on a C160. Being a non Wheelhorse implement it may be a measure to fit... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 66,579 #4 Posted March 30, 2021 I'd love to see close-ups of the bracket system. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seuadr 488 #5 Posted March 30, 2021 @gwest_ca thanks for the link, unfortunately the belt is listed as "belt" no size :/ it came with a 78" belt but that isn't long enough, i am assuming because the 520H is longer. @ebinmaine i can get some tomorrow. it matches up to holes that were already in the wheelhorse frame and has a couple spacers to make it tight to the frame it is pretty simple. big problem i need to figure out is the front set of bolts are between the steering and the front tach-a-matic point and i can only get a couple fingers in there to hold a bolt, and there isn't enough room to feed a bolt in backwards so that it sticks out of the frame towards the tire cause you can't get a straight shot. not really sure what to do with it, may have to take the axle off so there is clearance and put a threaded stud in or something. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,921 #6 Posted March 31, 2021 Click on the picture in the link. Lane Ranger made a call to them and I posted the info on the file description page. There are three belts there MacKissic Number Belt # / Regular Belt Size 506-0003 / 4L-780 030-0073 / 4L-810 030-0126 / 4L-840 These are all 1/2 wide 5/16th deep. The drawing shows a 3/8" rod threaded on both ends. The flat washers listed are 5/16 so must be USS and 3/8" nuts. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THANKS. no problem. you can see in the picture that it is angled down, i don't know if that was intended for operation or if it is just because my front bolts are only finger tight because i can't get in there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like mine is a little different than that but it may be older. Same basic look. Mine is closer to the hood, the extra space would be welcome haha. I know mine uses an 80" belt but that's on an 1968 Electro. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seuadr 488 #16 Posted April 14, 2021 so, just occurred to me, i need to check and see if this clears the mule drive - if it does, i could leave this on all the time and use it as a weight rack the rest of the time!

Normally I use USPS just because of ease. We also get FedEx and UPS here at the house if either one of them is easier for you... I'll PM you my address.
