big red mower 5 #1 Posted April 14, 2021 Hi I'm new to wheel horse and i have a question. I just bought a 520h with a snow blade and a 60" deck, but it didn't have the bracket or the hoop for the pto ,i ordered the bracket and related pieces. Now my problem is does the triangular piece go on top or the bottom of that bracket that bolts to the engine? If it goes on top i don't have room or i have the wrong bracket.

If it goes on top i don't have room or i have the wrong bracket. Here is a pic of the set up on my 520, kinda hard to get a good picture with the muffler in the way. Triangle piece is on the top on mine. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

big red mower 5 #6 Posted April 14, 2021 Achto The bracket that i got sets alot closer to the muffler than the one in the photo,Would it cause any problems mounted in the lower position?, It seems to work Thanks for the welcome guys. Big red mower 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope this helps. @big red mower I'll jump in here and add my 2 cents worth...on the exploded view of the parts diagram it appears to me that the triangle shaped piece goes on the bottom of the bracket that bolts on the engine... @Achto may have thought that you were asking if the triangle shaped piece went on the top or bottom of the PTO hoop... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
