Rear axle bracket for XI 518 through 523xi

Almost done with cutting the tree up. I'm sure giving the 20v batteries some exercise.

Those two blades look beat up. Have you checked them to see if they are balanced?

I have arrangements to pick that one up on Saturday morning. Plans are to pass it on to my BIL as a thank you for several things that he helps me out with. Not sure why the status on that has not been changed.

I tried to visit but it took off... Ya know. If that was a dog? I wouldn't have ever gotten outta truck. I figured I'd take my chances on the kitty though.

I made the decision and purchased a Kawasaki Mule. The following factors influenced by decision: 1) Price 2) Towing capacity 3) Cargo Bed Load 4) Reliability. The family, especially the Mrs. are very happy with it.

Id like to just believe you but... Can't see anything

It depends on the lube you use and how hard you work it. Don't overthink it. Pull the dipstick when you do any service. You'll know when to change it. If in doubt, do it.

This afternoon I decided mow along the side of our county road~about 1/8 mile long. One side is maintained by the land owner, the other not so much. The grass is getting knee high-and much of it taller. Our county roads are chip and seal which is nice and the side I was mowing basically has no ditch. It seems the county only mows once a season. The problem with overgrown grass is the road way appears to be smaller and bi-passing drivers hesitate to pull into the edge of the road. I used the 520H and it completed the task quite well. I don't think our zero turn would have handled the job at hand as efficiently and comfortably. Having the weight on the front end and a steering wheel was an asset. For the past several years, I have also sprayed weed killer around the stop sign because the Johnson grass will block the view of traffic until the nose of the vehicle is nearly on the state highway.

Spent the last few days cleaning up my tree line along the property. Wheel horse is definitely a big helper. Loaded up the trailer about 12 times to drive it all down the the big pile. Going to be getting a chipper here in a few days to make it all go away. Coming along nicely, I can finally walk into my tree line.

Got a hernia surgery It sucks can tell yea that. All's I wanna do is go outside and ride on the tractor

Thanks guys. I did remove the PTO switch from the console and it tested okay. I later found the ground wire bundle from the battery was loose. Pitiful on my part. After putting everything back, the problem is fixed. The grounding wire is a problem with this aluminum block engine. John

If the machine has the Eaton 11 (has a spin on oil filter on the left side under the seat pan) the drain plug is the main plug located under the rear housing and requires a 1/4" hex wrench. If it has the Eaton 7, (no oil filter) This transmission has two separate oil compartments. One is the hydro (10w-30 oil) that is dedicated to hydro pump and is captive. The other is rear gearing lubrication. Takes 80w-90 and drains from the main plug located under the rear housing and requires a 1/4" hex wrench. The Eaton 7 hydro system can be drained and refilled. The drain plug is an o-ring plug located under the pump unit on the right side.

Wonder how many times Samuel Jackson said “Mo&$%r Fu%#*r in that movie??

I’ll be there

My brother had one like this on his 1990 312 H with a front plow and it worked great.

How about this one? 🙀😂😂😂

Was that you I was mounting tires for Richard ... the A60 maybe and brand new ones split wide open? I was mounting the tires on the RJ -35 and used the original tubes since they were the old skool real heavy quality back then type. On one a very small leak... goll dang it... I threw some contact cement on it and stuffed it in. Not for highway use...

Things add up quickly No oil pan gaskets on the shelf so I ordered two, I need solid mounts for the recently acquired c-161 and that isn't even in the shop yet, it needs wheel studs so ordered them from M-C and forgot to order head bolts for the 16 Auto so I'll pay shipping twice for that lack of paying attention. I was going to order a soft start for the electric clutch but I better slow my roll before the Colonel looks at the checking account One potential positive is that the valve lash was out enough to maybe account for some of the rough running. Intake .011 and exhaust .014. They look good and nothing else is concerning so I'll just lap and adjust them until there's a need to go further.

Hey Fellow horse heads, If you reside in or near West Chicago check out the classified section for a sweet deal on a running B100! It has an expiration date to be scrapped

Okey Doke for non believers. I could have done a better job cleaning up the straggler grass by mowing on the return trip, but didn't want to throw cut grass on the roadway. Makes the motorcyclists wary of grass slick surface. The skid marks on the road arn't from me going through the gears on the 520. They from last fall when I had a camper trailer brake locking up. That prompted new shackle bolts, repairing trailer brakes and repacking wheel bearings. Now, if I just had time to go camping. Retired for three years and spend less time camping than when I was working. Guess I should go back to work?

26 times. Record is 37 times in Jackie Brown. Would you believe 171 times in a total of 27 movies.

Had double few years back. Not at all enjoyable. Good luck with your recovery!

Come on Ed, you know they wouldn't make it that logical. In the case of the 1985 314A it is a 700 but the 417A and 418A both came with the 1100 and the 516H had an Eaton 700. The only hard and fast rule with Wheel Horses is there are no hard and fast rules.

I have an extra one I'll leave go for $50 I can bring it to the show, If anyone is interested.

Pencil it in for next year!

I've been considering getting down to this one for several years. We already have plans that weekend though.

According to Michael Martino, the last edition is the most complete and best. He doesn’t believe that any edition is collectible, but many consider the first book the most collectible, however Michael does not agree

Kind of a side note, but I have a '68 Commando 6 that was on the floor for 2 years and never sold, so the dealer put on an electric start 8hp Kohler and swapped the dash for the new plastic style. It was restickered and sold that year. I bought it from the original owner.

I wonder if the 6 speed was installed at the dealer as part of the original sale. It's known that dealers in the 60's would change some things around to complete a sale. I find it hard to believe the WH assembly line ground to a halt to install a different transmission and any related hardware.

On the hydros, just leave the filter loose until you've got at least 4 qts back in it. That lets the air out. Never had to do that on an 8 speed. Air can escape from around the shifter.

The plumbers showed up today. Unloaded their mini excavator and waited for all of the utilities folks to mark where their various pipes and wires are located - none of which were in the area where the digging was going to take place. But, tis the law, and better to be safe than sorry. About 6 1/2 feet down, the sewer pipes were located. Big soggy soft spot around the house trap. The trap (clay piece) appeared to have a crack on the inlet side. Lots of buildup in the pipes, suggesting a slow flow for some time. The house trap is now gone, replaced with about 7 feet of 6" PVC and a clean out tee. Back fill is scheduled for tomorrow.

The pto switch gets it's power from the No Mow in Reverse module. I should rephrase that - gets it's power from the ignition switch but the NMR module controls the pto clutch. There is a test procedure for the switch. Click on the picture of it. Module test proceedure

Almost done just got to finish the wiring and put new diesel oil in it and finish putting back together

Depending on the model - I find it easier to remove the shifter & fill thru that hole. The 854 is a snap that way, the C81 is not...

You can trust your mother not your ground....

Ya know, I could really use a top of the line UTV for my sprawling 1/3 acre homestead! Funny story about UTV's ( I know but I have a million of them!) We had a couple of Kubota UTV's at work for plowing snow and hauling mulch. The lead guy in the Nursing home shop had to move some furniture so he enlisted the painter and another guy in our shop to help. They were going to use one of the UTVs'. Those 2 guys were wound tighter than a crick rock and our guy (Josh) was pretty mellow. They were going to do the job after lunch. at the same time our new building was being constructed and there were contractors all over the place. So they meet and go out to get the UTV and the lead guy (John) says there it is and goes and drives it over. Josh looks at it and thinks man the grounds guys beat the crap out of this thing. It's all rusted and dented. "Are you sure this is ours?" So they spend a couple of hours moving furniture.. Meanwhile the electrical contractor can't seem to find their rented Kubota UTV so they think it's stolen and call the cops. They get there and start the search but somehow the guys evade the cops for over an hour. finally they get pulled over and surrounded by 2 cop cars. It was then they closed the tailgate and the words "ADMAR RENTALS appeared on the gate.

Intake manifold leaks, ignition module failures, non adjustable carbs, governor spacer sliping on high hour engines, dumb connecting rod design, 9 pin burn ups. Still I like them, but I love an underdog. Most issues are repairable unless a connecting rod snaps. Parts are expensive and some are hard to find. With either machine, plan on an engine swap if the engine blows.

I'd agree except everything around me is like a mt. Yards are all hills and crazy slopes. Manual works great for that for me anyways.

What is my 1940’s Wheel Horse worth? Super cute, wonder what the value is? Is it one of the first Wheel Horse Tractors produced? It’s a little gem! It has a new predator 212 engine. Would love any information! ❤️

Yeah, I think between that and timing being off a little can take away from performance. I might be overthinking it a bit but we'll see.

@ineedanother have a regular shut down , schedule , engine oil / trans oil / check , verify statis , top off tank add 1 / 2 ounces of stabil fuel storage additive , general look over , things I regularly do are evolved over my 40 plus years of horse ownership , often refer to liking , repetitive problems ? often , literally showing you the way , make a change , you know what does not work . have zero , fuel hose related issues , years ago , cleaned out fuel tank , all new hoses , filter at tank and just before carb , sta bil storage treatment in all my fuels , carb bowls always clean / clear , that mind set on repetitive issues is home base for me , roller stool , sit and look / watch , how can I eliminate this ? pretty simple . the change literary hides in plane site . like a pto lever improvement , mule drive detailing , dare I say it ? frame length steel fuel line ? eliminate a lot of rubber hose , close to my end , pete

That’s my thought as to what happened. Dealer didn’t have a 867 or other but had this 657 and a deal was made.

We hope you will like this site. Lots of good people here with vast knowledge of wheel horse tractors. Enjoy the ride.

Thanks to the dimensional info from ebinmaine and the information previously posted by others I've made some progress on fabricating the grader blade components. Other than the block that the lift arm connects to on the main support arm, it's ready to weld together. The blade itself has previously been fabricated. I'm currently waiting on the plate that bolts to the blade, I'm having it bent to shape in a fab shop close by. After that I'll mill the three slots and make the pivot pin. I'm sure the lift arm won't be exactly like an original, but it should be close enough to function.
