PUG F570

   / PUG F570 #21  
Parts are easily available as almost everything is NAPA standard. All the wheel bearings, for example, are identical and inexpensive. The frame is simple welded steel tube. Brakes, transmission, are Eaton. Engine is B&S Vanguard. The only thing you have to get from Pug (Bob Keith sold to a guy in KY and he's got every part these need) are axle shafts...and you better not need those or you've just abused the machine. I really cannot think of anything you can't get at NAPA or fix with a welder. They are very simple, very rugged machines. These things are built to work, not run around the trailer park.

These are Eaton transmissions and still in production - you can buy parts from them if you like. I can't remember the model number but you can find them on the web.

I need a drive belt for a Pug F570 6x4. Also, I had the front tires on my pug drop off into a wash out. We pulled it back so the front tires were back on the road however now it is hard to get in and out of gear and to get into neutral - we actually have to shut the engine off in order to shift and starting it in gear is a bit wild. What can be done to fix this?

Drive belts are ordinary snowmobile drive belts. Take the one you have to a snowmobile dealer and match it up or contact Joe at Pug in Kentucky. PM me for his phone.

I misspoke on this original post...the trans is not an Eaton but a Spicer. Had a brain clank when I wrote it I guess. Spicer is a Dana Corporation company and a client of mine. Eaton is also a client and I suppose I mixed them up that day. So, for the record, it is a SPICER trans, a model 12, and I know the design engineer responsible for maintaining production engineering on this transmission at Spicer...so I actually do know what I'm talking about but clearly don't pay attention to my own editing sometimes. TTFN.

Can you send me Bob Keith info so I can see if he has another copy of the manual?

I have a PUG F570 that we picked up for our local baseball assoc and had it for a week and the drive belt snapped.

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement drive belt for it?

I need a new trans the mount hole on mine cracked had it welded but broke years later. The numbers on it are 012ch166 but can not find that model online. Can you check with your guy and see if there is a new part number for the same trans with the same mount options and gear ratios?

I am not sure if mine has a broken woodruf key or is just out of lubricant. If I push the mechanism under the dump all the way to the forward position it will engage. I can tie it there with wire but it still tries to jump out of forward, especially when going up hill. Does this sound like a woodruf key issue?

Thanks for all advice

Did you get your PUG transmission fixed? I've got one with a transmission problem but I'm not mechanical at all and I'm nervous about taking it apart. Was it difficult? Any suggestions on how to do it or better yet someone that you think could work on them?

Thanks
John

I have the same transmission on my Terra plane. I bought it with a broken spider gear housing. Can anyone tell me where I can buy one?

New here so Hello to all...Have a Pug/Gator Mod. F480 w/ 16 HP Briggs Vanguard on it. Having some wiring issues, believe it is a fuel shut off on the engine. Start circuit is fine now, new solenoid, Ford type, and you can run it with carb cleaner...but kinda hard to do and drive ! Anyone have help on a wiring diagram for it ? I'm a farm boy for ever and an electrician, but I believe I need an Exorcist on this one, Thanks.

Frog Pond Mfg of Sommerset Ky is building the PUG again and has parts.

I was line foreman on the W570A WHEN WE WERE BUILDING THEM IN JACKSON, MS.. NOW TO ELIMINATE YOUR PROBLEM, SIMPLY REMOVE THE NEUTRAL SWITCH FROM THE SHIFT PLATE WHERE THE SHIFT LEVER FROM THE STICK SHIFT IN THE CABIN CONSOLE. THE NEUTRAL SWITCH HAS A WIRE FROM IT TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. TO SHIFT FROM FOREWARD, NEUTRAL AND REVERSE THE PLATE HAS A DETENT BALL AND SPRING MADE TO IT AND WHEN THE BALL IS IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE WILL START.

I bought this PUG back in January and then found out they are no longer made and parts are very hard to come by.

I bought the parts manual from Bob Keith after finding him by calling about 40 former dealers.

I have questions regarding the electrical system.

It has an 18hp Briggs Vanguard engine with electric start. It has a netural safety switch.

It will not crank so I disconnect the battery and it reads 12.3 volts on the charger and the same on the voltmeter. I had a new battery installed when I bought the PUG a few months ago.

I think it should be the solenoid that mounts to the frame rail. Can I just go to a local lawn mower shop and can they just match it up?

Also, it has a manual dump on the bed. I was wondering if anyone had one with a factory power dump so I could get pictures of how it is installed?

Thanks,
Michael

Michael, sounds like your voltage regulator on the vanguard is bad, it is more common than you think. I was assembly line foreman @ Pug when we built them in Jackson, Ms.. not to say the solenoid isn't bad but not likely they are very heavy duty units.

the belt drive on my pugg on the transmission has slipped to the transmission side which makes the belt out of alignment. How do i slide the pulley back
in alignment. I is aluminum and I am afraid to force it.
