Or if you crank it backwards? No clue if that works or not... Just guessing.

Maybe 3rd time is the charm. First 2 tries to post, I was logged off and when I got back the draft was no l9nger there. So, Cliff notes version. Went on a road trip to Arkansas for robotics meet. Great drive through Boston mountains on US 65. Upperclass team won meet. Underclass team was runner up. Underclass team awarded Autonomous award. Upperclass team awarded prestigious Engineering Award. 1st time ever. Team nominated me for prestigious Woody Flowers Finalist award. We won. Upperclass team current world ranking of #48 out of about 3700 teams. Underclass team current world ranking of #202. Good time had by all. More details if yall ask.

The volt meters we keep finding are like 3 inches deep whereas the stock am meter only about an inch deep but we can't find any volt meters that are the same depth as the am meter

Which Year Wheel Horse I have and 310-8 on Hood?

So the Polarity of the Light Blue wire to tie into from the "Oil Switch/Sender" is what? Positive or Negative? This is what is missing. When the "Oil Sender" was taken out, all the wires were cut at mount to the block coming out from there. So, just wondering what ya'll may know to tie the Light Blue into at the Tractor's Side of the Engine Connector, Positive or Negative? And ya'll have read what I know. The "Oil Sender" is Ground based, but I could be totally wrong, thus blowing fuses... So Oliver 2-44, you are saying that going into the Light Blue is a Positive Input from the "Oil Switch" for normal operation of the lawn tractor in action? - Today

Those engine have a compression release so you cant get a good compression reading. I've gotten 45-60 psi just verifying the compression release is working. The 123psi does not seem possible unless the compression release is not working.

I like to use IH off white. -

What is indicated as "black wires" or wires with the "triangle going to ground "on this diagram are negative. Some of what looks like black wires on the diagram are just that piece/part directly bolted to the tractor chassis (so no actual wire exist) and thus grounded through the chassis. All other wires are positive. -
That thing looks nice! I really like that headlight setup! Looks great!

As to rim paint color I used Rust-Oleum Cottage white -
Been almost a month since my last post on this subject. Sooo what the heck has Dan been up to?? Well I posted some sheet metal for a C.C. that I painted black. After that I moved on to a Simplicity. Some body work followed by some white paint. More body work follow by some orange paint. This concluded the most of the Simple City side project. Rest of the Cub Cadet showed up, and I finished the rest of that up this morning. And finally I get to get back to work on my 401 project again. Spent the rest of my day assembling part of the engine. I managed to find as set of NOS OEM rings for this engine. Piston that was in the engine only had 3 rings. The NOS OEM set had more rings than a guy can collect on the first level of Sonic the Hedge Hog. . 1 in the top groove, 3 in the second groove and 4 in the third groove. @WHX?? Stopped by & gave me a hand. Thanks Jim!!! Hope to get back on track with this project. Should have more to show the next time I check in.

953 nut, there are no wires from the "Oil Sender" to connect. There cut at the outside of the sender at the block and removed from the wiring diagram thus illiminated from the connector of the "Stator" Wires of the connector of the engine to the lawn tractor, (Wiring). From what I know, there is no big deal that the "Oil Sender" wires were removed, there Negative based. Meaning, when the "Oil Sender" actuates, it would complete a "Negative" Circuit to I think, shut down the tractor and or illuminate the Low Oil Light(Test Light). So, no big deal there missing, the "Oil Sender" leads connecting anything. And what they did was to complete a circuit to trigger a Postive Pole on a relay to illuminate the Light and from what I have heard, the engine either does not start or cuts off. But the circuit going through the "Oil Sender" is a negative lead that is isolated from the block until the "Oil Sender" actuates. -

Tires and wheels are swapped. They are heavy, but doable. I need to torque them before they move, but it’s getting dark. -
Flooding, is fuel spitting out the front of the carb? Start it and disconnect the power for the electric pump so it's not feeding fuel. Take notice if it runs better before the carb bowl empties. Clogged muffler maybe? Try running it without one (but not for too long) or a different one on there.

953 Nut, yes the wires have been cut-off at the "Oil Sender", and thus nothing going to the Connector were the "Stator" wires go into the engine connector of the "Stator". Is this bad, for as you said, there is no Polarity going to the Light Blue or Purple wires, no wiring present to reconnect them to the Light Blue or Purple? Thing is this, I have seen that the polarity of the "Oil Sender" coming into it is "Negative". is this true? I can do some simple test, but either grounding or positively charging the Light Blue or Purple, but with no Polarity indicated as the Diagrams said, and reading and hearing that the "Oil Sender" was a "Ground Based"(-) circuit, why the worry, seeing that the above is true, that the input of the "Oil Sender" is a negative lead. Thus the only input into a circuit would be negative into the Light Blue or Purple wire. Is this the direction I need to seek for the Light Blue or Purple wires? Please explain, basically lost here for it can or could complete a circuit of a relay or something else. in that it would keep the Fuse from Blowing? Thank you for your input, the Wheel Horse is a new unit to me and been into a crash course of diagrams and learning the electric's of them, trying to beat the grass season being in Virginia. Yea, with out a "Key" of wire color corresponding to polity of the diagrams has been to me the "uphill" fight. Thank ya'll for working with me. -
This is what i did today! Removed one of my RJ transmissions to replace tomorrow with a spare one i put new oil seals, woodruff keys and hubs on while i was in Florida for Florida Flywheelers in February. My oneman process used two steel milk crates! One under motor snd frsme and one under transmission so you can remove the six bolts holding the transmission on the frame ! This two crate process works pretty good!

Im currently restoring my 1971 charger 12, and i wanted to know what the best paint is for the rims. Ive heard Rust-Oleum almond or linen white, I just want to know which one looks more like the oem cream color. I also want to know where i can find the plastic dash piece for the charger 12 with the cigarette lighter hole. (2nd picture is a new one from a buddy of mines tractor.) Thanks!

Looking great Alex !!!

I do some hauling for my neighbor. Mainly to and from the butcher shop which is a 3hour rt by buggy. He always asks "vuts mu bill". I just reach out and shake his hand and thank him for outbidding the developers when he bought the farm at auction. When he is harvesting his produce, I'll often find a head of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, or a cantaloupe in my yard. I guess it falls of the wagon.

Is the low oil relay connected to anything? The wires in the red circle would be the wires from the low oil switch, they should be gone leaving only the light blue and purple wires on the relay. Polarity is not an issue. -
Looks like were into an all time low temp. Looking at my empty wood shed I can confirm this is the coldest Felton has been for 62 years.
