Starter generator not charging.
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to tractor.'s topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
This older Kohler service manual has a section on the starter/generator - Today

Hey yall. So I have a wheel horse b80 with a kohler k181s with a starter generator. (the engine was swapped at some point by the previous owner) the engine runs great, it starts up good, but its not charging, I have it all hooked up right, but its not charging enough to matter. I was just wondering do any of you know any problems I could be having, and how to go about fixing them. Thank you all.

What I really love about that clip above, and I wasn't there that time, but the infamous Fender #1 broke a string and he didn't miss a beat. Just called for the next in the stable and kept on workin'. Love it!

Got a picture of my dirt working team. The Massey tears things up and makes a mess with the backhoe and bucket, while EJ the 8n smoothes over with a boxblade or grader blade. The hydraulic controls on the Massey are nowhere near as smoother and accurate as the excavators and track loader i have rented. I'm still low in the learing curve on the Massey. I was pleased to discover today that EJ's grader blade has a tilt adjustment on it. Two positions either side of level - maybe 5 and 10 degrees. I shot the adjustment bolts with PB Blaster with hopes of figuring out how that adjustment works tomorrow. Update on EJ's damaged axle threads. I got a die to chase the threads, but don't have a handle for it. The die started on by about a turn, but I didn't force it any further for fear of cross threading it. The adjustable thread chaser I borrowed would require removal of the wheel and hub. Too hot today and not enough time on this trip for that. Same story on the thread file. That left the 2 piece squeeze nut. The instructions said the threads didn't need to be chased, so I tried it. It went on about 2 turns by hand, then needed a wrench to go the rest of the way. Once bottomed, I was able to tighten it with a bounce or six on the end of a 3' cheater bar. I probably got close to the 450 lbft called for. We'll see how long it stays tight with use. In any case, this repair is a band aid to get me a to a spot where I can put a new hub and axle in it.

These are a spirol pin which is spring steel rolled multiple times to form the pin https://www.toro.com/en/product/933190 https://www.toro.com/en/product/933267

I finally got it figured it after a bit of diagnosing. I think it turned out to be simply bad plug wires. Sigh...

Finished up this model WH a week ago and the 1 year old and 3 year old testing engineers were over tonight to put it through its paces... it received a and performed well in all categories...

Trans popping out of gear

It would depend on which side the pin sheared on. Both are 1.25" long but one is 3/16" and one is 5/32" best I can tell. Click on the fuzzy pic below to download the manual for that machine.

Black wires in Wheel Horse wiring harnesses are grounds. The wiring shown in this colored wiring diagram that @gwest_ca provided is from the back of your ignition switch socket. follow one wire at a time and see what goes where. these diagrams are for a 1984, before changing anything lets check your model number to be sure I'm using the correct diagram.
-
If you have a jumper with a clamp large enough to grip the plug, jumper it directly to the (-) on the battery. Eliminate a bad engine ground and see what your spark looks like.
-
Did you buy a Chinese ignition module? Perhaps you got a bad one. The fact that you get a spark when playing with switches and wires leads me to believe the module isn't switching cleanly.
-
Ok this is what I am looking at. The connector seams to have all the wires still connected I have no idea yet where he tapped into to get power to turn the tractor over We know we did not have 12 v to the coil The jumper is what made it start I took a pic of 2 loose black wires that were cut What they were for I have no idea I guess when the new switch comes in I could just connect it and see if it starts If not he had to have taken something loose I am just grasping at straws right now Maybe someone can recognize something wrong or hopefully right

Mike and I have rebuilt 2 maybe a couple of years ago. And they can get pricey, depending on what they need. Well worth it though, cause it will last longer than you It's really not as difficult as you might think. The worse part is the cleaning.
-
And if you don't use all of the parts, save them for the next one or someone else may need them.

Those 3rd gears get worn from grinding of the gears. Once it's worn enough it will cause that pop out of gear issue. Replacing it is the only fix now. Somewhere along the line it was being shifted into gear when the clutch wasn't working properly, so it ground down the edges of that gear. 3rd gear barely engages into the other gear which drives it and you will easily see why it will grind down so quickly if you open it up to change it.

Click on Store(support RS) on the line a the top of the page. Should be some thing pending for you to renew. -
If I have to split a tranny apart, I order a complete bearing and seal kit right away. Buy once, cry once. Figure do it once, do it right. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/base-kit-1-for-manual-transmission/

Lets not forget the 702, also an electric start. Like @953 nut stated, number system was kind of a rule of thumb not a law.
-
But wait! There's more! Also figure on a new shift boot, 2 qts of 90 weight gear oil, and case gasket. IF any of the 4 oil seals are even questionable, that is the time to change them. Ahead of time - see if the hitch pin will come out! It must be removed to be able to split the case. Once the Unidrive is apart, other pieces inside may be worn - particularly bearings - that is where it runs into money...

Redo your membership and post pics of your wiring. Ohm setting measure continuity through a wire not voltage. Are all the generator mounting points clean with no rust, dirt and paint?
