Model 701 snowblower questions

I can't help you out but we can work on getting you manuals if you should need. IPL might help you figure out what's missing. Got any pictures? A 701 is a favorite around here. Click on the picture.- 1 reply

A known good coil at that....

We purchased a 1971 Holiday Rambler ~30' long. It had the original rooftop AC and was still going when we sold the camper last year. When I rebuilt the interior, I ran an additional wire to the rear roof top vent in the event we added an additional roof top air conditioner. One time when I was at the scrap yard, they had a motor home that had what appeared to have a fairly new rooftop air. (The fins were still clean looking.) I bought it for $25 and they even helped me remove it off the rooftop. I installed it and you could hang beef in the Holiday Rambler on the hottest of days. How I handled the extra power load was run a dedicated extension cord that we would plug into the power pedestal's 20 amp circuit.

The U.S. Open in my backyard

@squonk It’s a links style course, and they don’t have trees! In fact when the course was built in the late 1800’s there were no trees, just basically rolling sand dunes. Right next door is National Golf Links of America, another world famous golf course that dates way back. It too has very few trees. And next to that is Sebonic Golf Club where the women’s US Open was played a few years ago. That course however does have trees. -

He wants FL guy to see your post and come get it. We really really don't like the scrap word. -
Ain't that the God's awful truth! it only happens once ... twice if yer in a hurry and don't check every single one! My case ... guess I ain't gonna get that tranny closed up today.
-
No but the motor still needs a good ground. Don't rely on solid mounts alone to accomplish that. Kudos on the decision to go to solid mounts tho. Check for spark and go after the coil (make sure it's getting 12 volts) Clean & reset the points and always have a new condenser on the shelf. Never hurts to have a spare coil on the shelf either.
-
Frankly, I hear your pain. I’ve about had it with machines that wear out hard to replace parts after a measly 60 years or so! What is this world coming too? I”m actually looking at the same issue and at last year’s Big Show I bought an extra mid hitch for the 854 with a less worn idler pivot/arm.

@FLtractortake a deep breath, control the ADHD, and slow down. You need to tackle one issue at a time, and the fact that you keep trying to go after all of them at once is why your issues seem so large. You need the engine to run before you can assess the generator. If it cranks that is a good sign. There is a set of contacts you can jump momentarily inside the regulator and it will make it crank, cycle the key to the start position and back off again to make it stop. I'll get a picture later.

I don't understand your comment Sparky. Please elaborate. -
Take a look at the points. One of the functions of the condenser is to prevent the points from arcing when they open. A bad condenser encourages the points to burn.

Yup. Very light application. Seems like I picked the seals out of the ball bearings holding the stub shaft and repacked them with Lucas Red N Tacky as well
-
It is a little hard to follow your issues If you can start the engine and it runs then we could pursue the red light. if it will not crank or run then forget about the red light until we resolve the starting issues,does the engine start and run?

Model 701 snowblower questions
compston_family@hotmail.c posted a topic in Implements and Attachments
Hello all, Years ago bought a well patinaed 701 along with a well used RMR 3661 mower deck and an unused ST 307 snowblower. The engine has a terrible knock and needed a replacement crank and new rod- runs great now. The mower took some work, but runs pretty well now. My interest is now focused on the snowblower. It looks as if it might have been mounted on the tractor, but never used. I appear to be missing various bits and pieces, for sure the lift bar and the crank to rotate the chute around, but I'm not sure what else. Would anyone on the forum here have drawings for these, or have pictures of a blower installed on a 701? It's spring now, but snow will be here soon enough! Regards, Mike Compston -
Welcome. Post an ad in the wanted section of the classifieds. Someone has the pulley you need.

Sorry for confusion of a question… what I ment to ask is … how do I know if starter generator itself is working properly … and if it’s not.. what does it cost usually to have rebuilt (told before as with engine best to have orginal rebuilt or repaired instead of replacing)
-
C101 with a K241 So I transplanted another condenser from a different engine, It fired right up I thought all was good was gonna fine tune the carb as I was putting the machine back together, and a few minutes into it, the engine dies, no spark. Won't run with or without the condenser in the circuit. I don't have anymore condensers to try at the moment, I have a couple ordered though Now the story that leads up to this is I'd found an out barn find close by and was going to make a grass cutter out of it. I put new spark plug, coil, points and condenser on it as part of the refurbishment project, ran it about an hour, it dies. I bring it back into the shop going over it to try and figure out what happened, cranking the engine I see sparks arcing between the engine block and belt cover right by the PTO, that leads me to finding the chassis ground jumper on the shaker plate mount broken, also decided to replace the rubber mounts while I was in it, I used the machined aluminum style, and also replaced the ground wire. It still wouldn't start, used a transplant condenser and it rans only a few minutes. Is it possible the engine mount swap somehow effects this, I can't see how, but ? Or was it the low budget amazon brand X tune up parts releasing gremlins in it ?

Is the stub shaft on part # 57 worn too?? If so, perhaps a Speedy-Sleeve shaft repair can be done!!
-
Turn the key on without cranking the engine. If the light works it will be on.

Sorry I was looking a couple of parts diagrams you are correct it is 47

Trying to find a home for this B-80 that is obviously not running ... otherwise it may have to be destroyed. Free to anyone that can come and get it. Located in Greensboro Florida which is about 15 minutes from Chattahoochee Florida.
