Lane Ranger 11,678 #1 Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know what the PART # 3933 link was used for on the 603, 654 and 704 tractors (shown in the Wheel Horse manuals at the end of the belt guard) ? Edited June 7, 2016 by Lane Ranger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 44,870 #2 Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Lane I believe it's the link that connects the PTO pedal to the PTO idler pulley. In the parts manual I have it shows it right next to the pedal. #59 in this pic Edited June 7, 2016 by squonk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 11,678 #4 Posted June 7, 2016 Ok Thanks Bob - I just could not get this from the manual drawing into my head ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 12,430 #5 Posted June 7, 2016 No problem Lane. It can be confusing in the drawings. That one is for my 500 Special and is now a pretty red. The arm with the idler pulley should be turned 180 degrees. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBlackston 323 #6 Posted October 26 Racinbob, I have these same parts in my leftovers from disassembling my 704. Unfortunately that was 3 or so years ago when I disassembled this machine. I too wondered what they were when I stumbled across this thread. What are these items actually used for? Aside from t#56 and #57, the pedal and brake lever. Assuming they are an idler for a mower deck belt or something like that? I don't see the Idler, bolt, or arm on the drawing so I would assume those would have come with something driven?

The pedal locks forward on a roll-pin through the arm and lets the deck belt go slack. You push the pedal in, flip the small arm, and let the pedal out, which draws the belt tight.

Racinbob 12,430 #9 Posted October 26 Here it is mounted to operate a sickle bar mower. The idler is the v-pulley in the picture. It works the same way for a belly mower but keep in mind that the plates bolted to the frame are different. The belly mower used the early version of the tach-o-matic mount. I'm sure somebody here has a picture of that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
