Hey kurt, when you hook up the snowblower do you have to use the big spring for lift assist even on a hydro tractor?

Assuming you mean the 2 stage then yes, you need the big spring that mounts on the right side just under the front edge of the hood.

 

If not the blower will lift but it lifts crooked, also the spring helps the blower float over rough terrain and puts some

down pressure on the front wheels for better steering.

You don't have too, but I did when I had a single stage it really does help not only with lifting but actually holds that flag in the lift rod.

I didn't need the spring, so I left it off.  Works just fine

Never heard of Royal Purple Jeff.

 

Jim, it's gearhead oil, was made formainly high performance engines with flat tappet cams when they started dropping the ZDDP levels because of emissions/ converters, Jeff.

I guess that is up to personal preference but I use silver wheel paint.

 

This is exactly what I use. My wife works at TSC so we get a discount.

This is what my tractors and decks get painted with

WHX??

Correct ...strait 30 weight although 10w30 syn will not hurt it. 10w might be the better choice for cold weather starts & running.

How do you drain the gear lube in the rear of a wheelhorse 312-8

Little flush plug underneath that uses an allen key to remove.

 

If, for some reason it is stripped I have drained it by loosening the big oil supply tube to the pump.

 

This is below the pump / cooling fan on the right hand side bottom.

 

The 520 uses an Eaton 1100 that uses the fluid in the rear end for it's oil so no separate oil drain is required for the hydro unit.
