sparky6398 2 #1 Posted May 1, 2013 I picked up a WH PTO driven lawn vac to put on my Auto 14. I know the Vac Pack mounts on the rear quick attach mount and also on the draw bar. How does it get it's power, from the Hydro input with another pulley added or from the engine PTO? If it is belted to the engine, how is it routed, I didn't get any kind of a mule drive or belt guard with it. Here are a couple photos of it along with the ID tag info on the Vac frame. Any manuals of service bulletins you might have, I would really appreciate. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don1977 604 #4 Posted May 1, 2013 This is a 1977 model and looks to be going in the correct direction to me. Garry Your right, I was look at it wrong, it can be driven off the Transmission with a double pulley. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparky6398 2 #10 Posted May 13, 2013 Started mounting the vac system on my Auto14 today. Put the rear quick attach on the differential. I moved the right side running board out to allow the PTO belt to go from the PTO clutch to the fan drive. I have to make up a couple idler pulleys to allow the belt to miss the axle. I will also have to make up a belt guard that goes next to the Transaxle belt guard and fill the gap at the foot rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
