Looking at these diagrams? If you download the 4-page file one of them shows the start circuit and another the ignition circuit. This one is not what we normally see. The pto must be off OR an operator in the seat for the ignition switch to be powered by the battery.

No power to/thru the key switch.

I've been working on adding layers of filler and primer, then sanding them to get the tank end smoothed up. I sprayed a coat of silver paint on that today. Pics later. Here, the left rear fender has been attached.

I gotcha. More fluid is pushing on the whole face of the piston. -

Yep, given the pressure and flow is equal on both sides of the piston, this would certainly be the stroke with the larger area, larger force, and slower movement in play. -
856: voltage regulator wiring question.
squonk replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Yes. Those wire connections are junk. Dirty, exposed wires. Bent almost 90°. All of that makes heat. The only one that looks like it might be ok ok is the main red wire with the yellow connector. -
Oh ok. Thank you for the info

856: voltage regulator wiring question.
pfrederi replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
There are normally only two wires here I assume the new red one is for the fuel pump you are installing and is not the new red one in the regulator picture that would be wrong. -

I don't think there is any more resistance and a normal deck setup -

I do get under a fence but the lower wire is 12-14" above ground. The rods that carry the back wheels are the highest thing and are pretty close to the edge of the cut... but if you cut from both sides it may make it. -
@FLtractor , the cig lighter is original, also works too. The decal I got from redoyourhorse, there are a lot of decals on there, very good quality as I’ve ordered a few times.

@pfrederi just curious , how easily does that front mower deck move by hand ,? have always wanted to have one of those set ups . pete -
As per my thread in the other forum, this is my dead auction win from the other day, a 314-A with the K321S engine. Seems all there, all the wiring looks original and unmolested. Problem, it has no spark. It'll crank if you turn the key to On and then jump the starter post. But if you turn the key to start, nothing. Before I do something stupid, is there some common point of failure somewhere that will 1)kill the start key from cranking the started and 2) kill the spark?

Paul, how much of the deck sticks out beyond the support frame on the discharge side. I use my 48 to mow as best as I can under the fence lines. The front mount would be much easier to swing the deck under the wire after passing a post. I have a wire guide that lifts the wire over the deck. I may have to look for a front mount or make a narrow one for fence mowing. -
856: voltage regulator wiring question.
pfrederi replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
The marks are stamped into the regulator terminal. Wire brush? As rusty as the one is it may have corroded the stamping away. Is yours a 3 or 4 terminal regulator (the 4th terminal is on the bottom if it is a 4 term and a light wire runs from it to the A terminal on the Generator body Heavy 4/6 ga wire Battery + terminal to the Ignition switch. There are two terminals on the generator body and there is a stampd letter next to them an A which has two wires one light one heavy and and F one wire from the F terminal on the regulator -
here is the dead 314-A

Agreed. Just seems bass-ackwards that the piston returning inward would be the stronger side. That said, we don't have full capacity in either direction yet so it certainly could change. -

@Chris689 you could try that , marvel mystery is good also cheap , compared to kroil , but kroil is in a totally different class of frozen / rusted penetration , basic , how easily does the penetrant work , creep ? start to darken color base ? thats what you want , its the sign that its working , go very slowly on that stage , let it transition itself , then very slowly , attempt clean out / off . personally hand work on that till its much cleaner / clear , then a 6" electric palm buffer , car cleaner wax , go easy on it , done a lot of that . if it comes out , its very deep , worth the experiment , pete -

Where would the words BAT and Gen be.. on the circled pieces? when you say center terminal GEN.. where is the A terminal on generator that that connects to? -

I'm guessing one direction has full piston area and the other has piston - shaft area. Same pressure just different areas. -

Battery plus - you mean positive battery terminal to ignition? Some light 220 grit sand paper the terminal to clean up the rust? -
Ok I got em here. The running one fired right up and drove on the trailer. The dead one I hooked a winch to and slllooowwwly inched it onto the trailer. The 312hydro runs fine, its been used hard and needs some adjusting and whatnot. It likes to inch forward or backwards on its own, the F-R lever wont stay put, it springs back to N. A little TLC and it'll be a good scraper/puller. The 314-A, someone there at the auction looks like they tied a rope to the steering wheel and tried to lift it, pulled the shaft out of the rack and bent the dash. Probably nothing that cant be fixed. Overall it looks like somebody took care of it, clean oil no leaks, all the wires and whatnot seem to be where they are suppose ot be and havent been messed with or spliced up. The problem with that one is, it has no spark, I put a battery on it, turned the key, and nothing happens. I pushed the seat safety button down, still nothing. So I jumped the starter right to it, and it spins over good. Compression is good. No sparks, on the plug or on the coil wire to it. So, I'll have to figure out why here at some point. I'll have to start an engine group thread and go from there. Heres some pics.. first up the 312hydro

Belt routing note how it goes around the PTO Hoop. also note you have to cut away some of the deck reinforcement plate to clear the belt. -
@Jayoutdoors do your self a favor , get some dielectric grease , small tube , makes that replacement easy simple , the rubber slide difference is amazing , also added a fuel filter at each end to carb along with a fuel check valve just before carb ? holds fuel up to carb for quicker starts , pete
