pfrederi 20,222 #2 Posted 5 hours ago I have the opportunity to buy two 518Hs. They're very rare in France. - Which axles are sensitive and fragile? - What type of hydraulic transmission do they have? (Sunstrand, Eaton 7, or 11?) Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Gilo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,127 #3 Posted 5 hours ago Exported models are often different than what we see. Just a guess at what you are looking at. The D&A file has the info. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 17,737 #4 Posted 3 hours ago (edited) The "export" 518H models had the Eaton 1100 hydros, which are much more rugged than the domestic-equipped 700 series. If the tractors have hydraulic lift (no manual lift arm), and a oil filter under the rear fender, then they are 1100 series hydros.

Handy Don 16,227 #5 Posted 2 hours ago (edited) All the 500-series hydros, to my knowledge, used an open, 8-pinion differential with 1.125” axles. There are no obvious or common weaknesses anywhere in the differential--these are overbuilt for any normal usage of a Wheel Horse tractor. Of course, the filter and oil should be maintained per the manual and usage. Bearings can wear and seals can deteriorate with age but both are available from vendors here. So too, the actuator cam and follower on the hydrostatic motor that controls direction and speed. Tous les hydros de la série 500, à ma connaissance, utilisaient un différentiel ouvert à 8 pions avec des essieux de 1,125 pouces. Il n'y a pas de faiblesses évidentes ou communes nulle part dans le différentiel - celles-ci sont surdimensionnées pour toute utilisation normale d'un tracteur Wheel Horse. Bien sûr, le filtre et l'huile doivent être entretenus conformément au manuel et à l'utilisation. Les roulements peuvent s'user et les joints peuvent se détériorer avec l'âge, mais les deux sont disponibles auprès des fournisseurs ici. Il en va de suite également la came de l'actionneur et le suiveur sur le moteur hydrostatique qui contrôle la direction et la vitesse. Bonne chance, monsieur!
