I'm Not Sure Why, But I Now Have a B-80
BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
The Amazon listing refers to it as a rectifier so I am assuming it is a bridge rectifier. On the B80 rectifier there are no markings on or near the terminals so it is unclear which two are the ac input connectors and which is the B+ connector. When it was installed, the two AC wires from the stator were connected to the A & B terminals. The ignition switch was connected to the C terminal. The original plug was gone and someone had spliced the two wires from the stator to make them long enough to reach. Using my DVM Diode setting I get the following readings: Negative cable to A and Positive cable to C I get .000 (I get the same reading when I swap the cables) Negative cable to A and Positive cable to B I get no reading. Same if I swap the cables, no reading. Negative cable to C and Positive cable to C I get no reading. Same if I swap the cables, no reading. When testing in Diode mode, I believe I should get 0 in one direction and 1.5 or so in the other direction. When I switch to Resistance mode I get the same exact readings as in Diode mode. I've used diode mode before on other projects and it works correctly for those. For a quick test I pulled the connector off of the B100 to test it and the regulator tested good using the Diode mode assuming B is B+ and A and C are the AC inputs. I believe this regulator is not original, at least I don't think it is. T This the best picture I have of the B100 rectifier. It looks totally different than the B80 rectifier. This is the rectifier that I've ordered to replace the B80 regulator. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019DHPM44?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title -

Thank you all. HUGE amounts. I really appreciate it. For 🍽 suppah I have BBT made chicken wings 🐔 🪽 and a lovely baked potato 🥔 with delicious sour cream. Excellent healthy food. -

My Mod. This engine was originally on a C-81 with obviously bendix starter and under seat tank. Coil was mounted up top. I converted her to a S/G setup. Some S/G engines the coil was mounted on a bracket bolted to the bottom front of the engine. I didn't have the bracket but looking at a K181 I picked up for parts it had the cross mount so I went with that as no bracket was needed. -

Excuse me sir. Uuhhhhh. Why does your carry on weigh nearly 200 lbs?? -
Lift from mid-tractor rock shaft/bell crank. I v Haven't even paid any attention to the rear hitch it may be bass ackwards . I have since replaced thes olid lift link with chain for snow removal, but you get the idea.

Curious. Was the sideways coil mount your mod or original? -

Shipping weights from the UK to the US would put pricing pretty high! I’ll be visiting the UK in January, maybe I can fit a couple of these in my suitcase. NOT! -

Handy Don replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
This isn’t clear to me, can you explain further how you tested? Do you have a rectifier bridge or a voltage regulator there? Bridges are easily tested with a VOM using either the DCV setting and a battery or else the diode setting sans battery. But a VR is isn’t really testable with VOM alone--it needs both an AC input and a 12v reference supply. Many of the the VRs that I’ve encountered (including on both the Onan P218 and P220) have one of the stator terminals directly tied to the 12v output terminal. That could look like a short. -
Interesting. When implements are connected at their correct arms to the mid-tractor rock shaft on my 854 and on our 300 and 500 tractors the directions are consistent. If it was otherwise, lifting with the “arm strong” tractors wouldn’t work for all implements. How do your implements link to the rock shaft?
-
I haven’t, but I’ve not had much contact with the xi machines. That said, it makes perfect sense to me that Toro would make a few fairly inexpensive parts to adapt a widely-available “standard” dozer blade rather than make an xi-specific frame. The xi’s were not a high-volume product line.

Working fine for me... -
Welcome! As in it would not turn over or it turns over but has no spark?? Both are common issues with well used Onans. How many hours on it?? There is a 9-pin wiring connector that corrodes internally; that creates high resistance and melts the terminals / shell.... Find it, separate the halves, and clean / replace it if it looks bad. Second - Onan's with 1000+ hours tend to develop a valve seat issue. The seat becomes loose in its place and there is usually no permanent fix except engine replacement.  A loose seat can mimic the bad compression or leak-down symptom diagnosis. All said & done, you need to address the running lean issue before using it once fixed. Intake manifold leaks are rather common on Onans.... and are fairly easy to identify. Bill

You are a huge asset to the Red Square Community...Thank you and have a great birthday -
i have used various applications -- some with bedliner spray, undercoat spray, etc -- this one was sandblasted to remove all corrosion -- then primer paint and final top coat Rustoleum black - some people prefer that product called POR - ultimately it will all wear off - the key to long life is keeping it clean after mowing and not allowing build up of grass to rot it out - then treating it with oil or some type spray -- i often use gear oil lube spray after cleaning during the season so grass won't stick - - then of course i pressure wash in the fall and oil it for the winter storage

. First run after complete K181 engine overhaul. Always a fingers crossed time hoping no loud banging noises. Don't know what happened to the sound Try again -
Nice work sir

5025 Chris The 5007 is basically the same trans and will work, but the 702 came with the 5025.

Here in Maryland, when I was growing up, because I was the biggest kid on the bus, I was the designated shovel wrangler. School busses ran until there was at least 3" of the white stuff on the roads. If the bus got stuck, the bus driver and I shoveled her out. None of this pansy-a$$ crap that is going on today.
