Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #1 Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) My dads 1962 wheel horse 502. its got an 8hp kohlor magnum on it (with a k91 carb i got for free from local shop and a k161 airfilter assembly). this deck is off my dads 754. i freed up the deck(the bars that run from front of deck to thebar between gear boxes was rusted to shaft.) and lubed it up real good. i told dad the belts were shot but i said what the heck lets mow with it till they break. well they lasted past the video infact dad mowed good 20 minutes and almost had yard completely done when one broke lol. also the triple pulley needs attantion its wondering all over the shaft. yea dad didnt have rpms up very high. our grass is mostly weeds and not thick at all. reason i go to front of tractor and remove a strap is because the roll pin for pedal latch is broke.another pin will be put in after paint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbmjrODh8rY Edited August 20, 2016 by T-Mo Imbed video. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
