i am a new member. i have a 1965 875 wheel-o-matic.  the engine is knocking and smoking, so, i decided to replace it with the parts tractor motor.  identical motor. in order to get the old motor off, i removed what appears to be the mower deck or snow blower mounting plates. on the right side foot rest, there was a spring tensioned pully. i didn't think i was going to need it for running a snow plow blade.  long story short, i can't figure out how the belt and this spring tensioned pully need to be installed.  looked all over the internet for a belt diagram, no luck, pleanty of mowerdeck and snowblower info.  i am close to throwing in the towel and taking it in to a high dollar repair place.  i don't want to have the wife chew on my rear anymore that i deserve, somebody, please help me!!!!!!!

Pictures would really be helpful. Don't give up. We can figure it out.

This should be your manual. The illustration should hopefully help. Are you referring to numbers 70, 71 and 72?

Even if you can't get it, post pictures. The knowledgeable folks here know these tractors by sight and can tell what's wrong.

You kind of answered your own question about that pulley. It does not need to be installed for a dozer blade to push snow, it's used for the mower deck only. But, it's usually easier to just leave it on because the roll pin that retains the pedal can be a pain to remove and replace each time.

Here's a pic of one installed on the same tractor. Let me know if you need any more detail

      Hey all. I have a Electro 12 with a factory belly blade. It runs* and drives. I had used it to grade my driveway the last 6 yrs. Having moved I'm looking at my options on storing it or selling it. Frankly I have no idea what it is worth. I watched "ISaveTractors" video on 5 things to do with a new to you wheel horse/12hp kohler. (When i got it 6yrs ago) And went thru and did the adjustments and replaced the parts mentioned. It has been a good strong tractor for me until around July of this year. (2023)
      *Around July it started dying after running 20-30min. I replaced the carb (Chinese Amazon purchase) with one from isavetractors web site. That seemed to help it idle smoother(the old carbs jets wouldnt adjust), but it still dies at around 20-30min.
      So I've got 2 questions. 
      1. What is it worth? (As-Is) and
      2. What do I need to do to fix it? 
      Thanks yall!

      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.
