Workhorse 1971 or 72

Recommended Posts

drewd

Hi All,  I have a 71 or 72 Model # 101006, Serial # 790336.  Model number chart says 71 but the paper for the engine has a print code 72.  The closest I could find was for models 1-3745 & 1-3741.

Two questions.  I finally need to replace the drive belt.  This manual list the belt as # 1576. 

Two questions:

1)  Does anyone know what size that translates to?  I do have the old belt but the inside edge is falling apart so it will measure a little longer than it should.

2) This tractor has the electric clutch.  What is the best way to remove the belt?

 

As always...Thanks!

1576 is updated to 9691.  About $24 on line at RCPW.  

As for belt replacement...  Unplug the E-PTO and wiggle the belt past/around the E-PTO support bracket.  

No Need to remove the E-PTO...but, if you do, there is only ONE way to safely remove it...

You have the model and serial number. The 6 on the end i not used but subtract 5 from that 6th digit to get the model year - 6-5=1=1971

 

1971 Workhorse 800 model 1-0100 symbol 18W - [Tractor drive belt 78-7100 replaced by 7473 - (HB x 81.9" or 5/8" x 81.9")]

1576 is the drive belt for a short frame tractor.

An original parts list. The Workhorse 800 is identified by 18W in the parts list.

Thank you!  Also, is there any maintenance that should be done periodically on this style PTO?

Aside from being POSITIVELY CERTAIN that all wiring contacts are FREE of all corrosion...from battery, thru ignition, thru PTO switch...fuse...and spade connectors at the PTO.   As you see, there are 6 temp vent holes...don't let 'em get plugged or otherwise restricted...the mag coil does generate some heat, minimally, and those holes are the vent.  BOTH bearings are SEALED, but it would be a good idea to pack each with LUCAS Red-sticky...that requires pulling off the E-PTO to get to the big inner bearing.

      Hello everyone! 
       
      Thought I would post a new thread on this as I wasn't able to find the information I was looking for. But I'm trying to get this drive belt on my 252-H and no matter what I try I can't get it on. I got a 1/2" x 76" so I know its the correct size belt. I followed the steps outlined in the manual which I've attached, and is shown on page 15. So I loosened the cross bar nuts and the flat idler adjustment pulley. And followed the routing from this guide: http://outdoorpowerinfo.com/repairs/wheel_horse_hydro_252-h_drive_belt.asp
       
      I just can't get enough slack on it to get it over the engine pulley! Right now it's pinched up between the body and the pulley so possibly I can't get enough leverage, do I need to somehow work it from below the pulley? Doesn't help the pulley keeps coming off the shaft so I have it propped up using a scissor jack which is cumbersome to work around. I don't have a shop or anyway I can think of to safely stand the mower up and not sure about tipping it on it's side. Anyone who has done this particular belt on this mower before have any tips or suggestions for how to get this thing on?
       
      Thanks for the help friends!

      Hi there, sorry if this is a repeat question.  Anyone have a pic or diagram of how to reassemble the pulleys / tensioner, and how to route the belt?  One more...what are the 4 holes for at the rear of the seat deck (above the logo decal)?
      Cheers, 
      Mike

      I had a drive belt let go on a 1980 C-175 Sundstrand hydro. After searching the manuals it looks like either an 83" or an 85 1/2" belt is called for. 
      Anyone know the right length off the top of their head?
      Thanks

      I need to change the Drive Belt on my Wheel Horse 208-4SB Model 42-08B401.  I really need some step by step instructions or a service manual. I can't seem to find the procedure anywhere.  PIctures would be great.  My mower is slow going forward and It was suggested to me to change the drive belt.
       
      Thanks
