7 pointsHaven’t had a Wheel Horse for about 28 years since I gave my 852 to a brother of a coworker to restore and never saw the tractor again. Just purchased a 520xi with 48” deck and single stage snow blower in good condition, 880 hours. Will pick it up Thursday as there is no rain in the forecast (Hoosiers will understand!). Semi retired Reliability Engineer so I over analyze everything. Looking forward to contributing and learning!
-
5 pointsWelcome! Yeah, that Engineer thing never leaves you, even after you retire.... This sums it up well I'm afraid...
-
4 pointsAt very least clean up the shaft and flywheel bore and apply Loctite bearing and sleeve retainer. give it a shot. You can't spoil a rotten egg!

3 pointsI'm having a problem with the photo angle as well. The crankshaft should be tapered and the tail of the key rides above and locates the magnet ring to time the ignition. That magnet ring may be damaged with the failure. It appears that the crank has grooves worn in it and that may not grab the flywheel well. Any debris and high spots on the crank and in the flywheel needs to be removed and then the parts can be lapped together with fine lapping compound. The surfaces need to be completely clean and then only a wipe of rust proofing applied. The flywheel bolt torque is 55 ft. lbs. with a drop of oil on the threads and under the bolt head. What really is needed is replacement of the crankshaft and flywheel, using these parts might very well cause a failure in the future.

3 pointsGood rainy day to get some much needed crab trap maintenance done while the 312H watches. Then finished the crabs we caught last week.
-
3 pointsA bit more progress, hubs done, wheel adapters done and it bolted up in place. Looking good 😍

2 points@SylvanLakeWH nice! My buddy Matt showed up the other night for some euchre wearing his, and I had one of mine on!
-
2 pointsMrs Sylvan helped me put the door back on the deer blind and clear out brush from the shooting alleys in preparation for early doe September 12-13... door blew off in a windstorm over the winter. @Pullstart I wore my best t-shirt... Ready for the season!!!
-
2 pointsSince the flywheel has obviously been spun on the crankshaft you should also take a good look inside the flywheel bore.
-
2 pointsThe best paint I've found is Rust-oleum Satin Black, you can't tell it from the Factory finish. This tractor has all OEM paint but the front black I had to redo because of several large scratches.
-
2 pointsSome old pics i found of the “hay maker”. I don’t normally mow wet grass, but when it rains for days and the forecast doesn’t look any different…
-
2 pointsThat flywheel had definitely spun before and probably because someone put a little woodruff key in there. I don't see that as being the end of that shaft though. Just put the proper key in it and it will hold. I'm no Onan expert and barely know them but most every other engine uses a taper fit lock instead of relying solely on a key to hold them in place for a reason. That's a straight shaft fit so the long key is definitely required

2 pointsWashed the furnace filter, did a couple loads of laundry, mowed the lawn with Morgan, after putting new anti scalp rollers on, picked up a pile of sticks & acorns my wife had raked up, carried a bunch of stuff out to the new A Liner camper, and pumped the accumulated rain water out of the pedal boat and washed it. Oh, walked the dog and took a short swim in the lake. Waiting for foil dinners to cook now.

2 pointsI installed new rear anti scalp rollers on my 42" SD deck. No bushings needed in the new rollers, as they have a 1/2" bore. Rounded edges on the rollers too - should cut down on the axial load on the snap rings that retain them. No, I didn't have my phone with me so no pictures. Y'all are just going to have to believe me!

2 pointsI just did this a few weeks ago on my 161 thinking it might help when I installed the FEL. I used a 60 grit flapper wheel on an angle grinder to take the top off the axle. Washers and bearing were only 1/8" and it was surprisingly easy to take that off.
-
1 pointWait till you get to be my age... oh wait... Actually a friend's property. His blind (one of seven) that he graciously lets me use... I have no problem maintaining it and trimming for him... I'm very fortunate! But I have suggested indoor plumbing, electric, heat, small refrigerator, but for some reason those haven't materialized yet...

1 pointAgreed. It looks to be using the PTO components from a Commando 800 or similar era tractor. Functional, but..... nothing else is there. No deck mounting brackets, no tach-a-matic. Maybe intended for a snowthrower setup??

1 pointSomeone probably replaced the ignition module but never properly torqued the flywheel bolt when they put it back together, which made the key shear. The long key is used to hold the trigger ring in time. Someone else on here had the same problem with a sheared flywheel key due to the PO not torquing the flywheel bolt properly. Does the flywheel bolt have the correct thick washer with it?
-
1 pointThat was one of my first firewood processing tool build projects. It's made of old posts recycled from a deck I built years ago and tore down less years ago. The trailer has had at least 3 axle setups that I recall. Its current iteration seems to work well. Big enough to hold quite a load and not too big for the heavy Cinnamon Horse to pull. A lighter weight tractor would be much less useful. I've been considering adding width to the vertical posts but it works well right now.

1 pointI'm lucky I know EB otherwise I wouldn't say this BUT. was thinking more like Elton John Grace Slick, one of my favorites @stevasaurus

1 pointFinally got to mount up my JD brand front wheel weights. I painted these twice the first time just made a gooey mess, I dont know what kinda yellow paint they use but think that may be where the slogan ”nothing runs like deere” came from . FYI This style weight will NOT work without drilling new holes and are to wide/thick to work on the regular style wheels ie c series, older square or round hoods.

1 pointStocked the trout for the annual fishing derby for the ATOMIC KIDS. This is a private event sponsored by the Peach Bottom Nuclear Power Plant for employees children. We put 1,000 12 to 20 inch trout in a 1/4 mile section of the North branch of Muddy Creek in Felton. VID_20260529_103818809~3.mp4 Fish catching pics tomorrow.

1 pointThe Piebald is showing up pretty regular. Can't tell if it's a buck or doe yet.
-
1 pointI pulled the trail camera and found I have a Piebald in the area. Plenty of deer showing up every night and day. Just a couple of the 300+ pictures on the camera. See the piebald at the lower right corner. No horns yet, but I'm guessing this may be a pretty old dominate buck.
-
1 pointWe had our Special Kids help stock trout on Thursday. Sorry I forgot my camera so no pics. We only had 500 fish and I normally put 15-20 fish in a bucket to carry from the train to the creek. But these 15 kids were so excited to carry and dump these fish in the creek, I soon realized I had to stretch out the process. So I started putting 4-5 fish in each bucket. What a good feeling to see the smiles on these SPECIAL KIDS faces as they raced back to the train to get another bucket of fish. It was a special day.
-
1 pointIs that bamboo or Japanese knotweed? Either will go crazy invasive... My kid planted bamboo in our yard 10 years ago - was gonna make $$$ selling it. Yeh nope... it's totally contained by concrete. Grows like mad... it is very cool stuff... but make sure it's contained!!!
-
1 pointHad to cut thru the bamboo forest this morning to float stock 500 brown trout in the most remote section of Muddy Creeks main branch.
-
1 pointStocked another 1200 trout today. No railroad along these streams. We float from bridge to bridge...all work.
