Deck lift handle lock release

Recommended Posts

Team70R

Anyone know how to replace the spring at the bottom of the manual lift deck handle that puts pressure on the lock to hold up the deck in its highest position? I've already removed the rubber grip at the top.

Go to the operators manual for your tractor. You will find the detailed parts dwg for the lift arm assembly.    I tried to paste the link, but it failed.

There is a block and roll pin at the bottom, but I can not remember if you have to remove the entire rock shaft / lift lever to get to it.

I have fixed a couple, but can't remember/explain it....seems there was a roll pin I had to drive out of a block at the bottom, disassemble, replace the spring and reassemble.

      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.
       
      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 broke a small piece off (about 1” long by 1/4” wide) on one side of the center flange and was 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. Deck works as it should and is ready to cut.
      42” snow/dozer blade (Model 86-42bc010),  with Rear weights, tire chains and hardware. Blade angles left and right and lifts correctly and is ready to plow.
      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 $325 Or Best Offer - Deck/Blade/Weights/Parts alone are worth that!
       
      Will deliver within 50 miles of zip 18064. Delivery over 50 miles is negotiable.

      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!

      I have a 1996 520H Wheel Horse for sale.  The tractor has just over 800 hours on it.  It comes with a 48 inch deck.  The deck is a 1995 and has over 1,500 hours on it, as it came brand new with my 312-8 that I sold several years ago.  This 520-H has the swept front axle so it can handle a 60 inch deck.  I just replaced the battery and the deck belt this summer.  The engine is a 20HP Onan and it starts right up but requires the full choke.  The transmission is an Eaton 1100-062, hydrostatic.  The deck is in rough shape but the spindles appear to be in good working order.  The right rear tire has some cracking.  The original operator's manual for the 520H is included, as is the original operating and maintenance instructions for the deck, plus the installation instructions for the deck.  Also included is a new PTO belt and several miscellaneous deck wheels and rollers.  Additional pictures available upon request.  Asking $500.

      Gentlemen,
       
      I’m having trouble with getting my deck to raise up and lock and I think it might have to do with the deck being incorrectly set up. 
       
      Based on the picture, does my mower deck look incorrectly positioned? That is, should the pivoting support bar be positioned above or below the wheel support pin? 
       
      Brian
