moe1965 766 #1 Posted June 21, 2016 I'm in the process of making a snow blower flag just wondered if the lifting flag is used for any other implements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,984 #2 Posted June 21, 2016 A generator has one. I can't think of any others right now but there could be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 51,877 #3 Posted June 21, 2016 Why does a generator need one Bob... belt tension?? I was just gonna preset my belt tension and start/stop it with the pto?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,984 #4 Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) It's kind of an odd setup Jim. The belt tension is set by a knob pulling the plate that the generator is on down to another plate. The snow blower flag/bar gizmo just holds things in place. It's hard to explain. Take a look at a manual and you'll see what I mean. I'm picking up a 5KW at the show and I can show you. I had an identical unit when we lived in Indiana. It's missing the flag but I have one lined up for me while I'm there.

moe1965 766 #5 Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks for info. There are three holes drilled in it at different places. I only use the one for the snow blower attachment I guess I will drill the other two holes in it just incase Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 51,877 #6 Posted June 21, 2016 The one hole at the top of the flag Moe goes in a stud on the rock shaft arm with a clip pin & a washer to hold it on, one other is for the lift assist spring that goes back to the cross bar so you shoud be using two holes. Not sure but some of the blowers may not use the list assist spring. I see Bob ....my genny just sits on a bracket that goes into the front attach mount and just hangs there, belt tension by the slots in the bracket. My setup is not oem WH tho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,984 #7 Posted June 21, 2016 I kinda missed a step. The idea is that when mounting it to the tractor you lift the bar in the center attach-a-matic with the lift lowered. Then raise the lift and it pushes the front into that mount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
