…and now cleaned up.

Some unusual detail:

– no leather or rubber cup
– adjustable height
– spring-loaded jet
– removable inlet strainer

designed for simpler user maintenance.

Owen, The 512 D is very very rare in the states. The 512 D DY41D Robin diesel was sold in Europe not the USA. There are guys that are big WH fans that have never seen one. The mythical 512-D is ever so desired in America. Of all the Wheel Horse tractors, the 512-D is the one I want. Nice tractor Owen. Glenn

Photo 1 you can see this part seized on the shaft. These parts have probably been together for 35 years. So would be a shame separate them now or that’s my excuse. Photo 2 is my work horse. Robin diesel 12 hp, are their many 512 D in the USA Glenn. I do watch the W H junkies on face book but don’t seem them.

Thanks for the advice, I will follow it in a logical all fashion and see what comes.

I used my mid mount grader blade the other day to grade my gravel drive that runs to the barn. I like how it works, saves me a lot of work.

I think I know how hard it can be to take lose that part. I bought a Gravely 4 wheel tractor with a manual lift and I wanted to change the lift to hydraulic like my other tractor and found removing the shaft impossible with cutting it. I found that there are two different jack shafts for manual and hydro. Manual lift shaft it longer and is installed at the factory when the frame is welded together and the hydro is install after the frame is welded together. I had a time before I found all this out.
Maybe you could post a picture or two of you work with the shaft? Good luck with your work.

That looks up to the job Glenn. Done a good job, looks smart now. Look forward to the video. Nice smooth running engines the Onan, I have one in a W H.

Thanks Glenn, I removed a few panels to have a closer look at the shaft on my W H 512 D, I soon realised removing it wasn’t going to be easy. The small lever on the shaft would have to be free to allow the shaft to slid out, so I managed to measure it in place and will take these measurements along to the local engineering shop. It’s a straight forward shaft 1″ diameter with a key way and a few holes.

Here is picture of my rear tiller attached to my 1972/73 Gravely 816 with 16.5 hp Onan twin. The tiller is shaft drive, hydro lift. I bought the tiller used in very rusty shape. I rebuilt the gearbox and repainted it. It works well and is handy to have in the springtime. I will make a video of it in action.

Yes sir, It could be very bad to fall on it. The picture of the screw unicorn part is in the transport/use position. There are two most effective ways to use it, one is like the video position and the other is on its left side so you can roll the logs up to the splitter. I will have to make another video showing it working that way. I have back trouble and other health reasons so I can’t bend over for very long.
They make other screw splitters that can be bolted to the drive wheel of autos/trucks. There are videos on youtube others have posted.

[vhgmcbuddy]

That sounds great. Might be a week or so before I can get over, but I will certainly take you up on that offer.
Can you email me on raycollins2@btinternet.com with your address please and I can sort out the details.

Many thanks,

Ray

It looks like Mr. Doogan did a fine repair on the spark plug threads at a fair price.

Yes sir, making one would be good. I hope you can find one locally if you decide not to make one. good luck. Glenn
