Try going to http://www.repairmanual.com and looking. They have manuals for all kinds of things from tractors to personal water crafts.

My grandfather used to have a 1970 something wheel horse lawn tractor. Old style had to pull a handle back to engage drive belt. They are tough machines.

Comment on For the same price should I buy a John Deere 345 or a Wheel Horse 520xi? by winterrules

They are equally good machines. Find out about availability of snowblowers for tractors that old. Then look at the overall condition of each one. Which brand has a better dealer near you? Then decide which is the better choice for you.

I have no experience with a Wheel Horse, but the one Deere that I used in the past was a piece of crap. It was very slow and broke down a lot. I don’t remember the model number but it was a rider and had something like a 42″ deck out front. It would have been an early 90’s model.

Also, yes, the price seems reasonable for a mower of that many hours. Here’s a ‘98 for $3700: http://www.machinefinder.com/ww/en-US/machine/584771

Well both are good machines but I lean more towards the John Deere more service centers and parts are available. You may want to consider a ZTR (zero turn radius) if you are cutting tight areas. Most tractors will not allow you to cut in reverse without stopping and engaging a reverse safety switch usually part of the PTO or a button that must be pushed first. I have been a JD service tech for many years and see the difference in dependability versus other brands I have worked on all brands MTD Yard Machine Toro JD White Wheel horse etc allot depends on the owner and how they use or abuse their machine. Regular maintenance and care they will last. I have repaired new and old JDs from 2008 to the early 70s so it comes down to personal preference.

Sounds like the float or needle valve is hung up in the carb. Take off the carb. bowl and check the float and needle valve operation

Take the gas bowel off and make sure it has no water in it (this is the time of the year when this can happen, especially being low on fuel) clean it out and put back together. NOTE do no over tighten the boel just snug it up then if u have to tighten a little bit more go ahead. (if the gasket came off put it back on the carb FIRST, so long as the gasket is in good shape, it looks like a rubber band only square). While u have the gas line off make sure the filter isn’t plugged up if it is REPLACE don’t try to clean it out!. Now while choking the motor try to start without starting fuel. On the back side of the carb there is a black socket similar to what goes over your spark plug. Make sure it is attached to the carb, they sometimes come off.
If that don’t work check and replace plug however I don’t think thats the problem. Make sure your filter is clean or replace or clean it. If u still have prob u have 2 adj screws a small one and a larger one. 1. turn the small one in all the way in gently don’t over tighten then back off 1 1/2 turn. 2. On the larger screw do the same only back it out 2 to 2 1/2 turns and try to start again if that don’t work get back to me via e-mail gustoguy@sbcglobal.net and we will see what we can do from there.
