Full threaded bolts installed from the backside, with lock washers and loctite. Have done that on most of my tractors. I will at minimum put in one or two bolts that way. Makes hanging a tire/rim a lot easier. I usually use chrome acorn lug nuts for some added bling. On the 520 the studs on the spacer looked a little long for the acorn lug nuts I have. Plus I would be 3 pieces short. Need to get more. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Nuthin 2,856 #26559 Posted Monday at 02:21 AM (edited) Decided that painting these wheel weights was worth the effort. Now I just need to pull the front wheels and get rid of that bright white that somebody painted them with.

Sure is nice to have spare parts tractors around especially as these things become more expensive and hard to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 26,080 #26564 Posted Tuesday at 10:19 PM The 67 towed the 83 from the back shed up to the garage for a drive belt swap. Thought I was saving a few $$ using the belt I just removed from a junk C-81..but it ended up being a little shorter and she just doesn’t declutch like it should. Grinds the gears a bit. Crud!! I guess I’ll be using a brand new belt I picked up at this years WH Show. The idler pulley was shot on the 83 (GT-1600) so the C-81 did donate a nice smooth one so there’s that 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRF857 396 #26572 Posted 5 hours ago The C41 has two rubber stops and springs under the seat/spring mounting plate. one spring was broken and one rubber stop was missing. After scrounging through the “extra parts” I found two heavier springs and two rubber stops. A few minutes later they were installed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRF857 396 #26573 Posted 4 hours ago (edited) The safety tread on the C141 was worn and peeling. Heat gun and scraper made short work of removing them. I had more on the shelf. Used four smaller pieces rather than cutting into a large one. Good result for a little effort. Started to quit for the day, but Edy was mopping the utility room and kitchen floors. So I was marooned to the shop for a little while longer. Tried putting a shine on the hoods of the 520H and the C141. I will work on the rest of the tins a little at a time. The mower decks will get spiffed up this winter. Edited 4 hours ago by CRF857 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sqrlgtr 3,470 #26575 Posted 4 hours ago Put my newly rebuilt mule drive and new belt on the 312-8 today. This drive and belt was destined for the 520H but the 312’s belt was wore out so just swapped both out while I was at it. Notice I bent gaurd on mule drive the belt was rubbing bad for some reason but it ain’t rubbing now . Have no idea what this mule drive came off of but didnt think there was any difference in any of them besides the ones for the 60” 520 decks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
