    856 Wheelhorse Electrical ignition questions

    The generator bulb socket is a special one. Both the - and + are isolated. Just a heads up.

    Scheduled Maintenance

    About 2 years ago, I was informed that I had a cataract, and it was time i should start considering getting it taken care of. We'll, at the time that didn't really fit in with what all we had going on. Well, last year's eye exam showed a big degradation in my left eye. Last summer, I noticed that my short range depth preseption was off - the finish nails I drove to flush were actually standing about 1/4" proud. Bolts on machinery i was working on were farther away than where my eyes told me to put the wrench. I was having trouble getting a good sight picture of the pop can target when shooting my Daisy Red Ryder. Bunch of little things, but enough was enough. 3 weeks ago, I had my left (dominant) eye operated on, as it was the worst. Wonderful improvement! Yesterday, I had my right eye operated on. It is still dilated and not focusing quite right at reading range, but a noticable improvement in distance sight. The most impressive thing is how sharp and vivid the colors are now. If anybody out there is considering cataract surgery, I'll encourage you to go get it done. The procedure (outpatient) itself is a breeze, involving just enough knock out drugs to relax and enjoy the 'light show'. I think my reply to the "how are you doing?" question in recovery was "that was a pretty cool trip". Had a special lens installed yesterday that corrected an astigmatism. While discussing this with the surgeon pre-op, I asked him if the lens also had a .010" eyecrometer scale - he got a chuckle out of that one.

    Looks like they would make a good feet throttle for a puller tractor also. I try and keep um also like @WHX?? says may get lost in the majical spare parts storage. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
  7. Put a electric fuel pump on a 520. Only real place to put it near the tank. Had to remove the rear rockshaft which will probably go in classifieds since I have a dedicated tiller tractor. Anybody have a tip for getting the cable tube out?

    855 Build

    I used to take them off knowing I was never gonna run a implement BUT @Achto restores them and puts them back on. More for safekeeping than anything. If it goes out to the magic parts shed it might be lost forever. Kinda like that battery tray I know is out there. I'm sure there are pics here that show the correct set up.

    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    Man, I really wish my 314 was an auto with a hydro lift. That makes plowing look so much easier. Not that its hard, and my tractor does great as is, but wow that's MUCH more efficient than all the monkeying I have to do with my levers to get my driveway done. I suppose one of these days I'll have to bring home a dedicated plow tractor.......or maybe a good roller that I can swap all my guts and mods over onto.

    I also have one of these CD. Handy if you plan to open more motors up. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L4BKWJ6?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0 Beats the hand lapper in a drill. Another old Indian trick is glue some strips of fine sand paper to the valve. Got that one off you tube.

    Use your multimeter check battery voltage engine off. (Fully charged battery should read 12.6 volts. Start engine and bring up to full speed. Then read battery voltage again should read around 14 (13.5 to 14.5). If voltage does not come up next step is to see if the Generator or the voltage regulator is the problem. With engine running run a jumper wire from the "F" terminal on the generator (an F is stamped in the housing) to the "-" terminal on the battery. The engine should labor a bit and voltage jump up to over 14. If it does go up then your regulator is the problem if it doesn't it is the generator itself.
  15. Running a dealer network is hard and the more spread out, the harder it is for communication, transportation, staffing, and even cultural expectations.

  19. I haven't seen one yet that couldn't be rebuilt. Most of the time a good cleaning and new brushes will take care of them. I have had more trouble with voltage regulator's and wiring being bad then starter-gen's.

    I buy most of my kits on Ebay from The Man's One Stop Shop. https://www.ebay.com/itm/125901078873 I have also had good luck with Lil Red Barn Power Equipment Supply. https://www.ebay.com/itm/384156796807 Both are good to deal with.

    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    LOTS of practice here. And a VERY well set up machine. I guess you can train a Bahher to do anything.

    1. So any light up of dash indicator bulb is not good? Or just on at crank and winds down normal? 2. What is easiest best way to test and diagnose if generator bad and need replacement? 3. if it needs replacement what can I expect to pay for new or used a K181 generator and best place to get one?
