What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

New tires and wide rims for the 314H. Waiting on the weather to cooperate so I can paint the rims. Plan on using the 314H as my plow tractor this year.

  Cleaned off the underside of my 42”RD. Found the right side attach-a-matic bracket super loose where it bolts to the frame. Never had a loose one before…I’ll be checking more often I guess.

 

I did one of mine yesterday as well. The deck belt broke and while waiting for the replacement decided to remove the deck and check everything out.  Loaded with grass, but it cleaned up nicely.  I think next year I will repaint the underside.  This is the deck I redid last year!

Mowed a couple rounds with the 48"SD on the 312H and on the next round I noticed the right blade was not cutting.  Thinking the spindle belt tensioner was jammed with grass, I pulled under the hoist and lifted her up to check it out.     The blade was missing.   A quick search and I found the blade but not the bolt and washer.

I dumped a deck parts bucket and grabbed a new bolt and washer and sharpened the blade while it was off.  Put the blade back on but the bolt would not start in the hole.

The bolt didn't vibrate out, it broke off.  So the deck came off and went on the repair/storage rack. It also needs a hole patched then cleaned and oil soaked.  I put the plow on this tractor every fall just a little earlier than usual this year.   Got out the 310-8 to finish mowing.   The grass was due to be vacuumed  up any way.  I use the Trac Vac every 3-4 mowings.

Wow did you hear/see it come off? Ive always worried about losing a blade and it hurts someone a pet or sumin.
