Mower Attachment

[arminer8 4]

I have a 1966 Wheel Horse 856 3-speed with reverse. Is there a special PTO I need to use the underbelly mower deck that came with it when I bought it at an auction?

There is no PTO clutch.  You should have a spring loaded mower drive belt idler pulley that can engage/disengage the mower belt. The right foot pedal is used to operate the pulley.

If  you go to the manuals section and search  your tractor, you can download the operators manual.

                      This is the clutch Ed was telling you about.

Not mine, the photo is from the gallery and I had it in a file.

I don't have a PTO Clutch foot pedal on the right side. I only have one on the right side. Should I have two?

    I assume you mean you have the LEFT foot pedal that controls the transaxle drive belt tension.

                   Yes, to drive the deck, you need the RIGHT foot pedal and tensioning pulley assembly as I described and Dick showed in his picture.
