(-) to a proven ground, straight to the battery is unquestionable, and yes, then to (+) side of coil in "run" and "start" key positions. IMO the c-120 might be the best find. Good power, 1 1/8" axles, and adjustable lift depth for ground engagement (tillers and such). Looks like you have a nice Ohio Steel cart there too! Nice!

The noodle was a first for me also. It will be coming off. I will see about the voltage tomorrow. So just put the negative lead on the meter on metal and the positive lead on the + side of the coil? Yes it does crank just fine.
-
Yup. I changed the oil on my MF GC1720 today. Bit of an access wrassle to get something to turn the oil filter. Got the new filter on and was just about ready to start pouring the new oil I, when I remembered I had not put the drain plug back in yet. Caught it in time, though.

Happy Birthday!

That'll do it. Did he even put oil back in it??? I'd expect a bigger mess if he did. Good parts rig for someone.
-
That pool noodle on steering wheel is a first for me Nice looking tractor. Does it crank? If it does, see if you have voltage (12v) to the plus side of the coil. If you do, that says the switch and clutch safety switch are working. On my C160 the clutch pedal has to be depressed all the way down for the switch to engage.

Only took four air conditioner compressors purchased through local auto parts. They were either used (dirt in threads) already opened (no pressure released when removed the sealing plugs), or had metal shavings inside (when mechanic poured out the oil to be sure the right amount was inside the compressor.

I will have to take a better pic tomorrow but I do see the id tag on it now. it is in this pic but unreadable with this pic. will get more pics tomorrow.

Dad had one can of Billy Beer on the basement fire place mantel. As far as I know dad never drank a beer. Mom probably threw the Billy Beer away after dad passed away.. Well, at least she didn't throw away a fortune!

Wheel Horse used the 47421d spec number from 1973-1977. Kohler made your serial 7354973 in 1976. If the engine is original to the tractor best guess is it is a 1976 or 1977 model tractor. Click on the picture in this link. It will take you to a picture of the ID plate location.

Oh boy

Ain't what this is all about?

That girl for sale or trade Sparky?

Pretty much par for the course. Your new to tractor is gonna be no exception. Pics of the tractor would help immensely along with an ID plate off the tractor its self. Might be under the dash or on the hood stand on the side. Rest assured there is no we can't help out.

Always sad to lose another member. Rest in Peace Paul

Model K301S Spec# 47421d Serial. 7354973 Now there is one thing I forgot to mention. The guy who had it before me put a momentary toggle switch in for an ignition switch. I do not mind buying the right switch. I honestly have no idea if he did anything right. The tractor is really in great shape other that this starting issue. Steve

Yep, some folks should not play with wrenches.

Welcome to the forum. Lotsa knowledge here and folks willing to share it! @gwest_ca is already on it!

Welcome to Red Square. Have a tractor model and serial number off the ID plate? With those we can look at the correct wiring diagrams to help you out. With a test light or voltmeter see if you have battery voltage at the coil + terminal in RUN and START key positions. If the + has power go to the (-) coil terminal and when the points are closed you should have 0 volts. When the points are open you should have battery voltage.

B-80
Sparky-(Admin) replied to SylvanLakeWH's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I’ve only mowed with my B-80, but it does look good with ags and ribs. But ags wouldn’t be a good choice for snow duties as you know. I think it’s better suited as a tow rig personally. -
Local mower shop hauled this one in. Owner claimed he just changed the oil, started mowing and it died, wouldn’t turn over. Shop owner put it on the lift, then exclaimed. OH $&17!!! picture shows the problem.

Yes. I carefully inspect any "new" underwear I buy....
