Yes, and due to the tight clearance to the starter 12v. lug, I install a rubber sleeve on the fill tube to provide insulation.

Anybody hook up a cyclone rake to their 48” deck?
TonyToro Jr. posted a topic in Implements and Attachments
Hi everyone The 417-a I recently got will be a dedicated tractor hooked up to my cyclone rake leaf vac I got last fall. I have it hooked up in the back and I just got the boot to hook it up to the mower deck but I have to cut it on my own. I was wondering if anybody has hooked theirs up to a 48” deck and was if I could get the demensions of the whole that had to be cut in the boot. Thanks in advance! -

TRIP 2 consisted of some NOS parts, buckets of used parts, numerous Kohlers, and some more tractors including some little tractor with some kind of cutting attachment on the front of it. Not sure if that's worth anything or not? Best part is that it was 2 tenths of a mile from my house. -
I stand corrected!

No I've not, not really certain how to, besides taking it to the auto parts store. I could put the battery in another tractor and take some readings there, I've also got another recifier from a B100 I could try. Is the ammeter crucial to the proper operation of the charging system, the one that was in the C101 was kind of suspect, it looked like a ground fault waiting to happen, so I by passed it. Isn't there a diode inside the harness coming from the alternator, could that have a hand in this you think

Ours was an auction. A LOT of stuff. Bids were predominantly low. -
My old house still has cloth wiring in the lighting circuits and I ain't tearing things apart to change it, Even have those old push button switches. Got arc fault's on that too.

I had the chance to do the same a couple of times. I didn't have the thousands of dollars to invest that the people thought it was worth. Managed to pick up a tractor, snow blower, deck and grader blade like 3 years ago but that's about it. -
Yep, at work we had a multi-amp meter, we used it to check breakers and over-load relays for calibration. One day we we messed around and hooked up some 20 amp breakers and ran them up to 50% (30 amps) over current. It was minutes not seconds until we got a trip. surprising to say the least. There is a pretty good curve on those things. For those that don't know, a high restive arc is what causes fires. Not enough current is drawn to trip the breaker and lets just say a call to 911 is coming. Those breakers listen for arcing, because people like running flimsy extension cords and even like putting them under carpets! That is why some sweepers trip those breakers, the brushes arc and the beaker picks it up. I like putting a non arc fault in the hallway for this reason. Never want to stop the misses from get r done. A reduced breaker size is a good idea, I've done a couple remodels and 14 ga is what I used in bed rooms and all lighting. I do notice now new homes have a main breaker mounted right below the meter. Nice for working in a plan and or a generator install.

So I ran down a few leads and it appears that it is a bad solenoid. I jumped the two terminals of the solenoid with a screwdriver and it turned over, so I'm guessing that's the part I need to replace. Apparently the not starting and stuck seat switch were inconsequential - sorry about that. I'm gonna order a solenoid and install and hope it fixes the problem. If not, I'll be back asking more question. I truly appreciate all the input from everyone.

Worst starter design ever. K series is much better.

It could be not to sure. It did fit on the part 40 It did fit snug.

Took a while to find it. #12 & #13 -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Sodaking27 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Yep gas tank was pulled and cleaned out. Fan was removed to make sure all the crud was removed. This was one of the crudest tractors I’ve ever seen. After I was finished with the pressure washer I ended up throwing my shirt and shorts away. They were beyond cleaning. -

I would love to find a haul like that to make! Of course it’s sad that someone has to pass to make that happen. Circle of life I guess. -
I wonder if the clutch plate thickness is different than the dimension from the groove to the end of part 40. Is this an aftermarket clutch plate?
-
Have you load tested your battery? So many problems in the electrical forum resolve to bad grounds or a bad battery
-
I will have to give it a try when I get the new parts. Since when the bolts came out I lost them.
-
I never had any loosen without Loctite.

Yes, though someone on here has probably managed to do so without removing it. Now that I have given a definitive answer somebody has to controdict it.
-
Looks like the hub slid in on the axle. Key probably sheared. Might be an easy fix

The distance is generally up to the local codes. Most places I'm seen have been 10'-15' max. Yours being 3' means you pretty much need to enter the house right at the panel. I seriously doubt this was inspected. If the rough it was inspected I would think it would be obvious that was being covered. It's possible that they had planned on an access panel and forgot. I'm betting REMC (power company) will be the only inspection. They are only going to make sure I don't run the panel feed from the transfer switch back into the meter base. The LB and 2" pvc will have to be abandoned. I'll just make sure it closed off good. Which is a good argument for why I always use 15 amp breakers on all branch circuits that don't need 20 even though it wired with 12 ga. How big is that cord on the lamp, TV, etc.?
-
I took one off of a B80 exact look alike, does the exact same thing. Now is probably the perfect time to wonder if the ammeter delete would affect the recifier.....

I put a service in another rental house for my B-i L. I installed Arc-fault breakers for his down stairs outlets. (My wife had been in a rocking chair once and the rocker hit a lamp cord and it about blew a hole in the wall so I put those in all wall outlets now unless it needs to be GFI) Anyway I'm in the basement doing other stuff and his wife rented an old floor sander. That thing kept tripping that arc fault so I knew it was working
