Hello, I have a Wheel Horse 656 that I repowered with a 6-1/4hp Kohler K141T that was originally on a log splitter. I've been having an issue with it shutting down when it gets hot. It shuts completely off like the key was turned off, although this engine is a pull start. It will start back up and only run on low idle. It will start up and run normal when cooled down. I originally thought it was the ignition and replaced the coil and condenser with new OEM parts and it still does it. I don't believe it's the fuel either because it pumps fuel, has new fuel line, OEM filter and new shut off valve with the screen. I then took out the valves and cleaned them up and ran a 5/16" reamer down the valve guides thinking that the exhaust valve may be sticking when it gets hot. So far nothing I've tried has worked.
I'm curious if maybe I'm just working it too hard. The mower has a 35" cut and I mow a lot in top gear up inclines and it's been pretty hot out. The engine is within the wear limits internally, has plenty of power and doesn't smoke or knock. It's set to about 3,500rpm at full throttle with no load.
Any opinions or suggestions on what might be wrong or where to go from here?
Thanks, Tim

What’s the correct v-belt size for a xi drive belt connecting to a 60” deck?
Just shredded mine today.

Gentlemen,
I just changed the muffler on my ‘69 Charger 12.
There are quite a few Gravely 18543 aftermarket mufflers out there so I decided to purchase 2; 1 from Amazon for $45 and 1 from NAPA (7-03679) for $72. Both are made in Taiwan and while the Amazon muffler actually felt a tad heavier to me, its welded construction was poorer so I decided to use the NAPA muffler.
To complete the installation, I needed a 1.25” x 4” black pipe nipple and a 5/16” x 1-1/4” exhaust clamp (NAPA 733-5323).
In conclusion, it seems to me the sound out of the Gravely style muffler is noticeably quieter than the classic pepper pot. Worth the $80 to me!

Good afternoon, looking for some help regarding a plow assembly for a 1999 520xi model # 73542. I'm told that a traditional Wheel Horse plow assembly will not fit this tractor, that the xi series requires a special plow assembly. Problem is, most of the people selling plow assemblies don't seem to know what they have, and I don't know what I need! I have included the supposed model numbers pulled from the Toro website, including that of a retrofit kit, but I'm not sure what that retrofit kit does! Does it enable me to fit a traditional Wheel Horse plow to an xi model? Don't know. One guy selling a plow knew what type of plow he had and told me it would not fit my tractor, stating "Lift link and handle are in the wrong locations."
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just need to know what the hell I'm looking for, which might help me find it!
From Toro site:
Model #: 79355
48" Snow/Dozer Blade
Model #: 95-4090
48" Dozer Blade Retrofit Kit
Thanks!!!
