Jim-Ohio 1 #1 Posted May 4, 2017 I bought a 1-0465-8 (1973) tractor with a snowplow last winter to plow snow. A mower deck came with it. Now I was going to put the mower on it, and found that it was missing the PTO clutch that runs the belt for accessories. When I took pictures to a mower shop guy that has a lot of old Wheelhorses for parts he told me that it looks like someone cut the end of the crankshaft off flush with the pulley that runs the belt for the hydrostatic rear drive unit. This would make it impossible to put either a manual or electric PTO clutch on as there is no shaft sticking out to mount it on. Why would someone have ever done this to the crankshaft that makes it not possible to ever put any accessories on this tractor or am I missing something that's different on this tractor that the mower shop fellow didn't know about?

953 nut 51,029 #2 Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) The only thing I can think of is it may be a replacement engine with a shorter crank shaft, or a previous owner didn't know how to properly remove the electric clutch (there is a procedure for that) and sawed it off to sell it. Sorry to say I don't know of a safe painless way out for you. A "GOOD" welder could weld an extension on the shaft, but the liability concerns involved in doing it would probably make then say no.

I would suggest, Jim purchase a crankshaft and take the part and engine to a shop. Worth rebuilding. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
