Wheel Horse 312-8 stalling out with snow blower

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,  I just bought a used Wheelhorse 312-8 with a snowblower.   It runs great while the blower is not engaged.  When I engage the blower and sitting still, its fine.  It works with a few misses going slightly up hill.  When I go downhill or slightly down hill, it stalls out.  What's up with that?  Its so odd.

Hi
May not be the same as what happened to me on my GT 11 but I had a very fussy safety seat switch that caused mine to keep stalling out while operating on anything other then level ground. Im more into operation then being an avid must be all there collector so I by passed it.

I'm guessing a carb float problem.  Could be dirt in the bowl, hole in the float, or float not level.

      Toro - WheelHorse SnowBlower fits “XT” Models.  Model 79483 Serial 240000164. In great shape, has high chute, wide kit installed and has belt.  Skids show little to no wear, so I’m guessing not used much.  SnowBlower only.  No mule drive or lifting hardware.  
      $250/BRO

      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!

      Will a standard mount Kohler work, if I remove the cradle?

      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.
