Yesterday I filled the Rear wheels with RV Antifreeze, Got the wheel Weights on and mounted the plow. Today Grading the 1500 ft Driveway.
I'm impressed the new Eaton 1100 pushed like a bear. The Hydro lift is great. For the last 12 years I've been doing all the work here with the 310-8. Huge difference,
When I bought this Tractor it was in tough shape all rusty and no maintenance. After some sandblasting ,Paint and a new Hydro I love it

I recently purchased a 1988 518-H. When I check the Oil level on a cold motor it is very high, If I bump the ignition ( without starting ) it goes to the normal level. Any Ideas

New member here. Springwater NY I have owned my 310-8 for about 10 years, It's tough and very reliable.
Last weekend I bought the 518-H. When I got it home it didn't seem to have the ability to climb the hill in my back yard. About a 15 degree slope. I found out ( A little Late ) Wheel Horse used 2 different Transaxles in these. Apparently I got the Eaton 700.
Thru your sight and a very helpful Retired Wheel Horse dealer I changed the oil to a Synthetic. Seems 100% better.
I am looking to replace Transaxle with a Eaton 1100.No rush.
I do believe I got a great deal even with the 700 Tranny. Tractor with weights and chains, 48" side discharge ,42 Rear Discharge,48" Plow and a cart. $550
The Tractor needs some work and a Paint job, But it runs well and mows great.
Thanks for the help and keep up the good work

Hello everyone,
I am new to the WheelHorse brand- last year I purchased a 518-H as a backup to a zero turn mower and for mowing at some remote locations. The 518-H has been repowered with a 20 HP Onan which appears to be a WheelHorse application engine. The engine fits perfectly and runs perfectly also. The deck drive belt is failing and appears to not be a correct size belt. I have a 48" side discharge deck. My question is- do I need the same belt as a 520-H with this deck would use? Is the 20 horse engine pulley location any different than the original 18 HP? The belt that was on previously was a 1/2" x 103" size. It seemed to be too narrow and was bottoming out on the pulleys. It was also too long. I believe that a 5/8" by 100" belt would work, but these belts are pretty pricey and I don't want to guess. Thanks for any help.

Hi Folks,
I'm back with another question on my 518-H (with the 520 rear). I'm loosing some gas. It seems to seep somewhere and I'm suspecting it the seal where the gas line comes out of the bottom of the tank. Is this a fixable thing or do I need to get a new gas tank? It's real slow. I can't find a drip, but I can smell gas and when I go to add gas it seems like it's been leaking. thanks, d
