1988 252-H Wheels

Recommended Posts

MachXXII

I’m trying to restore my grandfathers old 252-H to use around my property. The tires are shot and the rims aren’t too far behind. Anyone have any recommendations for rims and tires that would fit well on it? 
 

right now it has 22 x 7.50 - 12 on the back and 15 x 6 - 6 on the front.

I've seen some 200 series WH tractors on the Long Island CList, some with bad engines or rotten decks or other issues but that might still have good tires/wheels. Buying new could quickly add up to more than buying a "parts" tractor for the parts you need.

Also, WH-size wheels & tires were on other lawn/garden tractors--the only differences might be the setback of the rear wheels (setback is how far the back of the wheel's lug bolt holes are "set back" from the inner-most edge of the wheel rim) and the color (fixable!). Be sure you measure what you have before buying another rim.

Have you removed the rear wheels from the axle yet? They can be impossible to get off.

Do not try to pull the wheel off the axle. You will pull the axle out of the transmission.

You need to come up with a way to push the axle out of the wheel. That may include cutting it off.

Used wheels may be hard to find because of this.

If someone had the foresight to apply never-seize you may get lucky.

      My friction disc in gone on my clutch.  I saw the old post about making a new friction disc, so I'm not concerned about that.
      I managed to remove the front clutch plate and double v-belt pulley.  But I can't separate the two.  When I took the assembly off the spiraloc washer popped off on its own.  I HAVE READ THE MANUALS.
      So I should be able to just remove the pulley from the front clutch and continue with step 4.  The v-belt pulley is loose as all hell and flops around like a dead fish.  It seems to be hung up on a ring or bearing race.  
      So my thoughts are grab a BFH or sparky the blue tip wrench.
      Is there an unpublished step 3.5, or some trick?

      Hello everyone! 
       
      Thought I would post a new thread on this as I wasn't able to find the information I was looking for. But I'm trying to get this drive belt on my 252-H and no matter what I try I can't get it on. I got a 1/2" x 76" so I know its the correct size belt. I followed the steps outlined in the manual which I've attached, and is shown on page 15. So I loosened the cross bar nuts and the flat idler adjustment pulley. And followed the routing from this guide: http://outdoorpowerinfo.com/repairs/wheel_horse_hydro_252-h_drive_belt.asp
       
      I just can't get enough slack on it to get it over the engine pulley! Right now it's pinched up between the body and the pulley so possibly I can't get enough leverage, do I need to somehow work it from below the pulley? Doesn't help the pulley keeps coming off the shaft so I have it propped up using a scissor jack which is cumbersome to work around. I don't have a shop or anyway I can think of to safely stand the mower up and not sure about tipping it on it's side. Anyone who has done this particular belt on this mower before have any tips or suggestions for how to get this thing on?
       
      Thanks for the help friends!

      Inexpensive - Carlisle X Trac ATV Bias Tire - 16x6.50-8 Good quality (I expect) Should look nice with my large rear aggies  
      I don't know how much these have been discounted, but I expect anything you find like this from a good brand will be 2X to 3X the price. $45 each at Amazon. This tire is discontinued. 
       
      Rough measurement seems they are about 16" tall and the lugs are about 1/2" deep.

      After using my 8-25 mower successfully for several years I noticed the belts were very worn. I replaced the belts and used the mower several mowings this past summer with no problems until as I was mowing the last time the mower would not move in any gear. After stopping and inspecting the traction belt it was almost completely destroyed. Prior to this I had noticed that the engage/disengage lever was getting hard to activate (very stiff). Has anyone had a similar thing happen?
      Thanks in advance for any help on this problem.
      Just want to keep my mower running.
      Chris
