My belt came from the jungle today. The engine slides forward and backward on the frame for clutch action, and the clutch brake pad stops the transmission as well. I need to fire it up for test, but I believe it’s tensioned well.

I thought that's what I had done but may have put them in bass ackwards. I should have checked them again before installing them but I didn't . -
I still remember the intro with the shuttle launch and that music that went with it. Of course they took it down after the Challenger disaster. Appropriate of course, but it was very sad.

I was young and watched it quite a bit back then. Also watched American Bandstand and Soul Train too I don't miss it. Be sure to check out this thread.

Where the heck was 953 nut this time?

The return trip to the hospital showed no bleeding without the Eliquis blood thinner, so I returned to the rehab center several days ago. I was being given iron pills that should have stimulated hemoglobin but the numbers went down rather than up. Every day they were in the 8 range which is rather low. Well I have learned another lesson along with the entire medical staff at the rehabilitation center. I requested the information sheets on the prescriptions I was taking; BINGO Two medications that were being administered at the same time as the iron were making it ineffective. The other two meds were moved to the evening rather than the morning and my hemoglobin went from 8.4 to 9.6 on the first day. 13 +/- is normal so I should be headed home by Friday. I know we all hate to read every word in the instructions but in this case it was well worth doing. Internet sites didn't reveal any negative interaction but reading the precautions and determining how the could impact others like the iron pill proved to be an eye opener. -
Built a box to hold all the parts of our Destination Imagination team’s entry in Saturday’s competition for safe transport and to be sealed into between registration “weigh-in” and the timed performance. Adults must be “hands off” on the entry itself, but can do collateral jobs!

Test the diodes with an ohm setting on the multi-meter as others suggested--often labeled with the Ω symbol. If the diode: 1. has the same reading in both directions (i.e. switching ends either the test prob), it has failed. 2. has no resistance in one direction and lots in the other, it is probably good. For a tested good diode, put the end which had the black (negative or common) test probe during the test having “no resistance” reading toward the battery -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
WHX?? replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
They do work good for that if you can get the height just right. Too low they'll rip the roots right out. In this sand anyway. - Today

yes I don't think this is the way it is wired up. I am going by the schematic I have posted in above post and believe that's the way it is wired up at the moment but had to quit before I really got to check everything good before I left. I was under the assumption that both diodes charged battery, but I am by no means an authority. The battery cable did spark when I unhooked indicating going to ground so IDK what I've got yet . -
Answered this in your other thread. The hazard of putting the same post in two places.

Ok. I’m assuming you were able to start the engine using the battery. Once the engine is turning, the two wires from the stator start having AC voltage/current. They go to the diode bridge/rectifier which converts the AC to DC. The output flows to the battery “+” to commence re-charging the battery. The diodes in the bridge are supposed to be more than strong enough to do two things without damage: 1) block current from flowing in the wrong direction (i.e. allowing the battery to discharge instead of charge), and 2) allow the charging current through. If BOTH diodes were “reversed", they would drain the battery as the engine turned instead of charging it. If only ONE diode is reversed, however, charging current from the stator is blocked. In no normal situation will starting or running the engine cause a diode to “burn out" -
Bigger question is how did you bust the cam?!?!?

Smokem if ya got em ... Read trough them with a multi meter. Usually they go in only one way because of the notch. Notch end or cathode up feeding the fuse and the battery.

Modern food needs are understood better. Protein is key. Simply replacing a decent percentage of your current intake with quality whole meats & fish will make a big difference.

Mule drive taken off the 1979 C120 I bought without a mowing deck. A little dirty and some rust, but pulleys spin freely. I would like to sell to someone on the forum, If someone quotes me a fair price plus shipping from 28779, I will send it to you!

The reason is I'm right there, had to change the cam(broke in half). Got new valves, replacing valve springs 230010. springs are shorter for the rotator 230168-s

ya I got several I'm going to have to do sumin too just been putting it off long as I could, way too long actually.

Getting 'em pulled hurts enough. Getting screws put in your jaw for implants to put them back in is not much better, but totally worth it.

Did just that on the flywheel popped right off when I hit it.
