My garage door opener is like that, it has a 12 volt battery so the opener can be used if the power goes off. Mike, could you teach my wife that trick?

314h won't shut off. Ignition switch interchangeable w 416h

Check to be sure the key switch on the 314H has a good ground. The switch is seeking a ground in the off position to stop the magneto from producing ignition spark. -
Oh, and the solar panel on the roof is pumping the heat out well! It was fun to feel the difference in the jet areas vs the non-jet areas.

I got in the pool yesterday for the first time all year. Not due to temperature or lack of, but lack of time it seems. The solar cover is doing a good job keeping temp in on the cool nights and keeping evaporation down during the day. The issue with the cover however, is it needs attached to the roller for one person operation. Yesterday I layer out my center, marked every two feet, and have 10 new straps on the way to span between the 18 foot of roller. I masking taped the cover to the roller for concept and was able to roll it up effortlessly. After Jada cut the new cover square, of course.

June 11, 1993, Jurassic Park premiered in the USA with a special showing at the Kenedy Center in Washington, D.C. on June 9, 1993, and had its wide theatrical release two days later on June 11, 1993. The groundbreaking science-fiction adventure film, directed by Steven Spielberg, was an immediate blockbuster, revolutionizing visual effects with its computer-generated dinosaurs and animatronics and set a box office weekend record of $502 million.

I did some more work on cleaning up the mid-section of the frame under the cab. I sanded the small areas of light surface rust and any flaking spots (there weren't many), blew off the dust, de-greased and pressure washed the area (twice), immediately blew it dry, and then allowed it to dry completely in direct sun and low humidity for two days before priming it. Painting the rest of the frame in Marine Corps green will have to wait until we have a forecast for sunny weather for at least four days in a row. I have lots of other things to work on in the meantime.

I hope you have a good time buddy.

That's my 1975 C160 Automatic painted a slightly brighter red than stock color. And of course Trina's Military Tribute Tractor. We are only going to one show this year. Jim's in september. I'm hoping to bring six tractors there.
-
I second that.
-
That came out well Erick. I still have the picks of both of them you and Trina brought down a few springs a go.

My 314h won't shut down with the key switch. I've checked the wiring and there is no noticeable damage. I know of the dark blue wire from switch to regulator... I am not good with electrical, but i usually get it eventually. Before I look too far... Would a switch from a 97 416h (onan)work on this 93 314h (kohler) I was hoping to test if the switch on the 314 is bad. -
Ok, I got a jungle site kit from your link and installed it. The fit was pretty awful but once all closed up it does pump pretty strong. I'll install it once the paint dries. Once completed, I can finally test run the rebuilt K161. Fingers crossed, prayers sent. And though I am definitely NOT a purist (got nothing against it, but nothing down here isn't butchered), I am happy with this particular machine being at least close to what it should be. I'll save the electric for the Vanguard that goes on the black hood...

I’ve had my 315 8 from new in 2005 - aside from a few very minor hiccups it’s been a very reliable ( still is ) tractor .
-
Please do, I’d be glad to help.
-
Thanks! Will do. I'll probably catch up with you over the weekend.

I have this very thing. I was diagnosed in 2006 with an prolactinoma and have been on medicine ever since. My tumor had grown so big it was pressing on my optic nerves making my peripheral vision go away, that’s what led me to go to the Dr. I have had good success utilizing my medicine and testosterone replacement therapy. I had to give the medicine a try first, then they checked my prolactin levels and they had dropped significantly. If they hadn’t, would have had to gone the surgery route. Thank the lord I didn’t. I’ll be glad to talk to you about my experiences. If you want to PM me your number or I’ll send you mine.

Bringing this thread back from the dead with Throwback Thursday! Here is another Horse Tale from way back in my cranium. Mind you I was only with WH for a couple of years. I was hired as parts/service rep. for the South Central U.S. of A. Wheel Horse probably had around 6-8 parts and service/parts reps at the time. Sales was another facet onto it's own. A very key time for Toro and WH as big changes were coming and everyone at South Bend was holding their breath! I came on board in late 1989 but 1990 was my first full year with the "Horse" and the learning curve was steep. The WH service team at South Bend pretty much bled Wheel Horse red and some of them reminded me of guys right out of the 1950's. My boss put me up in a hotel and had me spend a couple of weeks in the WH shop tearing apart and putting together units down to the spindle bearings and 8 speed gears. Then I went on the road with other more experienced reps to do service schools and get their input on the job. I taught service schools in the winter, hit the big lawn and garden show in the spring and kept dealers up to date on parts/service the rest of the time. I drove a new Chevy Astro van filled with blades, belts, manuals and microfiche. Even had one of those fancy new fangled mobile phones. Being fresh out of college the traveling road thing was fun...for awhile. The team at South Bend would send updates, quality reports and boxes of parts to my PO Box address weekly. I would get updates on problems (Quality Control), what the plan was and any "factory running changes" to correct the problems. WH was a one step distributing; direct to dealers and I had a one-on-one relationship with WH dealers. I'd go into a dealership, grab the service tech and start cramming with info and updates. Once and a while I'd get called on the Hot Line about a customer or unit that a dealer was having problems with. Those were usually a good learning experience for everyone. The WH policy was to have the dealer supply the tech/tools and I supply the proper procedure. Sometimes I would get a experienced tech and sometimes not. At first I dreaded these calls but after a short time I looked forward to them. I viewed them as a challenge, with the end goal of everybody winning. Whenever a dealer or customer said thanks, I would hand them my bosses biz card and say if you want to thank me, call or write my boss and tell him. 1990 was a good year for me.

For those there on Saturday

I figured what the heck and tested a Snow King using a direct 12v hit via jumper cables when I had the wiring exposed. Yep.
-
Like many here, I learned this lesson the hard way. After that, I test the electricals as I go with assembly and, again like others, I've become a fan of direct-wired grounds for many circuits.

I “mulched” a 4ft tall back yard for a relative with my 401 after knocking it down with the 36” Jari sickle bar. Not recommended.
