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.

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?

:huhs:    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.

      4' plow and 48" deck/blower/bagger for Toro WH 5xi
      By DeltaNu1142
      I bought a 5xi package yesterday including some attachments I'm not going to need:
      4' plow, model # 79355 - in great condition, very minor surface rust on crossmember and back side of blade. $250 48" mower deck with blower and bagger - in good condition, working when removed from tractor yesterday. Previous owner said it never clogged on him. Some surface rust on deck and one 2" hole near the center. $300.  
      I'm open to offers and interested in trades! I'm looking for a 2-stage snow thrower, p/n 79366. Maybe tools, etc.
       
      Available for pickup--let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!





       
      Here's a photo of the deck that's included. It's got some rust holes, but functions perfectly. Most of the price here is wrapped up in the blower & bagger:

      252-H troubles
      By cJ_3D
      Hello helpful Wheel Horse enthusiasts! 
       
      Maybe you all could help me figure something out. I don't think I am installing the mower deck properly on my 1989 252-H and I don't know if the PTO clutch is adjusted right.
       
      So referencing this image here from the service manual for the mower deck (37"):
       

       
      What exactly am I doing with this adjustment knob and how does it fit into this piece?
       



       
      Also for the PTO clutch where am I sticking the feeler gauge exactly and do I need to do all 3 springs? Or does adjusting the one in the manual adjust all three?
       


       
      Much obliged for the help!
