Yes I replaced one with 3/4” cold roll rod
-
looking to replace my key switch on my electro 12 tractor [the L leg is not working, lights, clutch, lighter, etc.] the parts list show's part # 8362 it's a 5-pin switch marked B-M-S-R and L according to the wiring diagram. I can't find a 5-pin switch with those exact letters or part number. Are all 5-pin switch's the same even if the letters are different?

Where are your tester leads when it drops to zero? Or are you watching an in dash voltmeter? Share your model and serial number so we can look at the correct diagram.

Would you use 3/4 in cold rolled steel to replace the rod? Dave

Finished this up Sunday and tested for leaks. I had a pretty substantial one from an elbow joint near the beginning of the expansion. I had to cut the next piece of pipe in two to get it out to fix the leak and then get put a union in it. Did that tonight, there are two more, pretty minor leaks still. One is about 14 ft up and I am not going to worry about it. The other is in the regulated line I use for painting and running my press. It had to be taken apart to do the original work, and has to come apart again because the regulator is no good. Anyway.... tonight I had PT for my be shoulder, which I of course agitated threading pipe Saturday, and I got a talking to about undoing all their work right before the ortho follow up.

Great idea. Welding it in the center of the frame would be way easier to do. Great advice, Thanks, Dave

I have a 108-5. Turning the key to Start does nothing. I have replaced the ignition switch and the solenoid with no luck. The wiring looks factory from what I can tell. I can jump the solenoid and it starts fine. I can use the pull start and it starts fine. On the voltmeter, I show 12.5v. As soon as I turn the key to Start, it drops to 0. Battery is good. But also tried booster pack just to be sure. I suspect the pto safety switch or the neutral safety on top of the transmission. The pto safety switch I'm wondering if there is a cheaper option than $50 to $70 The part is listed here: https://www.partstree.com/parts/toro-109327/

Ah, I thought it was about the link from the pedal to the brake. That 3/4" foot peg rod can be replaced as a whole rod or 1/2 of the length can be welded in the middle of the frame rails and to the left rail. Someone couldn't get that foot rest off and chose the wrong way to do it !

Mine is a 2000my, same tractor. My oil light flickers once in a while too. Not sure why, but never looked into it. It runs great. 750 hours on it.

The footrest comes off as shown in this picture. The footrest is on the front tire, and the brake/clutch pedal is still on the tractor. Can't see how this would be very strong or intentional. It fits in there fine, but you can pull it out. Kind of dark in there, I'll have to get a better pic. Dave

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Saturday the one boy helped me remove the mower deck and scrape the grass off. I gave the tractor a bath, including the insides of the wheels, which were kind of nasty. Got the plow and wheel weights on for winter duty. Yesterday I lubed the pivot points with oil and greased all the fittings. Checked the trans oil, looked good and not milky like the spring. I flushed and changed it back in march or April. Cleaned the foam prefilter and re oiled it, that was filthy. Checked air pressure in the tires, front left loses air only when it gets below freezing. Was a couple pounds down. Pumped that back up. Parked it in the garage and put the battery maintainer on it for a few days for some desulfating action. Still debating on whether I should change the oil and filter. Last time I did that was July of ‘24. The oil looks pretty clean with only 43 hours on it. Need to find a new seat compatible with the weird bolt pattern on this year 2000 machine. -
I'm not sure what we're talking about here. Pic please? The rod link from the pedal to the clutch/brake on a 551 should be threaded and adjustable with a trunion on it. 1960 models were not adjustable and just bent rods There aren't very many rods that should be cut.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

I stopped by the hardware store after walking g the dog and picked up a couple different sized 'E' clip for the throttle linkage on Morgan, the 14-8. Next on the list was removing the dock from the lake. Was sunny and just over 60 today, so the trailer shirt and swimming trunks weren't too bad. Then, I waded out into the lake, which a water temperature around 50. Kind of like going swimming in Lake Superior. Wasn't too bad, once my legs and feet went numb. Fortunately, I didn't have to get much more than knee deep. I'm starting to ask my 70 year old self why I'm still doing this. Got some seat time on Morgan pulling the lawn sweep around to collect the drifts of leaves I blew out of the flower beds. That pretty much finished up the leaves that were in the yard. Then, I looked up: I've stil got a bunch more leaves coming - once the oak trees decide to let go of them. More seat time tomorrow (weather pirmitting) moving the dock sections from the shore up to the winter storage area. -

Even the past hundred or so years. My grandparents lived about 70 miles from my great grandparents. One day I was going down to my grandfathers home town (Great grandpa had since passed on) to pick up a 953 and asked grandpa if he wanted to ride along. As we drove down I-81 he said when he and grandma got married it was a full day's trip with a horse and buggy and now we were doing it in an hour. He told me that the Model A Ford wasn't much of an improvement because you were still on the same rutted muddy roads.

Members like @rmaynard or @wallfish have spent a lot of time with pre-61 models and will have informed opinions. Only times I’ve touched one was riding around the Big Show on an RJ (or was it a Suburban?) borrowed from another member! 😁
