    My favorite Frankentractor started acting up this week. Slow to crank sometimes, and shut off unexpectedly every 15-20 mins. Crank right back up and die 5 mins later. Swapped both magnetos, since both originals "tested" within specs. Best I can tell one of them flaked out when hot. Once again purrs like a kitten (a dang big one ) now. I really love this machine. It was my first Wheel Horse and it has been awesome for 30 years!

    Gave the 257-H a good cleaning. 99 hours on it. Very underrated machines IMHO.

    WE DO NOT SHIP ANYTHING. CASH ONLY AND PICK UP ONLY. Let me think this over, I want a new choke cable, I can buy it now on eBay and have it shipped or I can drive about 600 miles round trip and hope he is there and in a good mood when I get there. decisions, decisions.

    Got my first stripes of the season put down. 1967 model 867 with a 32” deck (I need to find a 36”)

    I do remember it seeming slow, but - compared to my pewter Horse - they all are! 😁 Here's the reason I swapped transaxles in your 522..... a really nasty right axle: For those who are curious...... the layout of the innards of the xi tranz: Input bevel gears, hi-lo cluster, and primary reduction shaft: With the exception of the square vs. woodruff key, the axles appear to be the same as the "classic" 8 speed and Eaton hydro tranz 1.125" pieces.

    Take a look at this. It shows the internals. There is also a troubleshooting flow diagram. I looked at the parts diagrams for a 5xi 1100 and a 520-H 1100. The output shaft has a different number. The 5xi turns the input 90 degrees via a bevel gear. On the topic of a cooler, a small power steering cooler might be installed between the sump and pump on the rubber line. http://truturf.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/old_manuals_Eaton-11-Hydrostatic-Manual.pdf
