Mower Attachment

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      The time has come for me to part with my trusty Wheel Horse and find it a new home. I am the second owner (since 2003) and it has always been stored in a garage.
      I am located about 20 minutes south of Rt 80 or 15 minutes north of Rt 78 near Rt 33 for those who are attending the Big Show.
       
      1975 C-120 Special, 8-speed (Model 1-0375, Ser. # 133357). Running (no smoke) 12 hp Tecumseh (Model HH120-120180E, rebuilt 1986). Rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, and new ignition module (in 2006). Good used replacement tank, original tank is included in the sale.  Brand-new battery, fuel filter, and shutoff valve installed 5/26. The transaxle case is cracked near the center flange and repaired with JB Weld.
      Solid 42” side discharge deck  (Model 5-1010) bearings replaced in 2005. Extra set of Gator mulching blades and spare hi-lift blades included.
      42” snow/dozer blade (Model 86-42bc010),  with Rear weights, tire chains and hardware.
      Parts: 4 NOS belts and 2 good used belts, NOS taillight lenses, used starter, used ignition module, more (see pic).
      1975 C Series Owner’s manual, 1975 WH accessory catalog, 5-1010 deck manual, original HH-120 manual, updated Tecumseh HH-120 technicians handbook.
       
      Selling entire package for $350 Or Best Offer 
      Deck/Blade/Weights/Parts alone are worth that!

      The local place I’ve bought parts from for years has changed owners, now they can’t even spell Wheel Horse let alone be if any help.
      Doing my spring tune up I noticed my drive belt is getting pretty ratty. Due to all I’ve read thought I’d ask for some advise on getting it right the first time on a new belt.
      Is there still dealers on this site selling OME stuff ? I know there are tons of aftermarket crap but not looking for that.
      Thank in advance.

      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:
