Hi Folks,  I just bought a used Wheelhorse 312-8 with a snowblower.   It runs great while the blower is not engaged.  When I engage the blower and sitting still, its fine.  It works with a few misses going slightly up hill.  When I go downhill or slightly down hill, it stalls out.  What's up with that?  Its so odd.

Hi
May not be the same as what happened to me on my GT 11 but I had a very fussy safety seat switch that caused mine to keep stalling out while operating on anything other then level ground. Im more into operation then being an avid must be all there collector so I by passed it.

I'm guessing a carb float problem.  Could be dirt in the bowl, hole in the float, or float not level.

      Choke Assembly
      By Gcw804
      I have a WH 300 series with a Kohler Magnum 10 engine and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the choke cable and linkage set so it will work. The numbers on the engine label  are worn off the, so I cannot give anyone that information. Does anyone have a picture or can you head me in the right direction.
       
      My arm for the linkage assembly is set at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock if that helps. There seems to be several different linkage rods for this engine.
       
      Thanks

      B100 and snowblower price reduced
      By Evguy
      IMG_6160.MOV I’m selling my B100 with 10hp Kohler engine and snowblower. The engine ran when I brought it home 3 years ago and deck ran smoothly. The 8sp gear box will need oil changed. I didn’t make headway and need the room for other projects.

      JD LX-178 with Kawasaki 2 cyl water cooled engine.
      Great shape except for the front hood.  Cracks have been patched, and hinges on the hood itself are broken.  Hood sits fine, just does not open & close properly
      NO DECK!
      Includes (4) John Deere suitcase weights, a John Deere "maintenance kit", and rear chains.
       
      Well maintained.  Snow blower presently not mounted.

      1981 GT2500 Snowthrower Models
      By dave who poos
      Hello!
       
      I am looking for any and all snowthrowers that will work on my GT2500. I am trying to find one off FB marketplace but no one ever really posts the model number. Usually just the length. So I look for 42'' throwers but I don't know what will fit. A local seller has this for sale:
       
      He says its 42 but unaware the model, the Wheelhorse logo looks to be from the late 60's/early 70's? It looks like the below thrower:
       

       
      My question is if that thrower year/model will fit the GT2500. It looks pretty dang simple but I'm not sure. Someone mentioned something about the right size "Quick-hitch" in another post.

      PTO clutch support screw torque
      By cJ_3D
      Hey all!
       
      Replacing the drive belt on my 252-h. Anyone know the torque specification for the center screw when I put this pto clutch back on? I know it was on there tight it took a minute for the impact to break it loose. Thanks!
