Yup. I remember as a boy I decided to do some maintenance on our 604. I drained out the oil and not knowing anything I put in 90W gear oil. That winter we had to warm up the engine before letting the clutch out in neutral just to get the oil in the trans moving. Never had to do it before

Would the engine get hot enough to melt normal paint? Not high temp? -

1987 Wheel Horse 310-8 15 Amp. Fuse Blowing after Oil Sender Removed
squonk replied to Railboy's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Again. A fuse will only blow due to over current ( short circuit). This fuse is "Hot at all times" Meaning there is battery power at the fuse all the time. If the opposite side of the fuse was connected to ground, it would blow (Short circuit). Your tractor has a magneto meaning the engine is turned off by the key switch grounding the mag. The only thing happening when you start it is the solenoid coil pulled in and the key to the start position. I'm thinking when you release the key, the key switch is shorting internally and blowing the fuse. The picture you provided shows the back of the key switch and it looks dirty and nasty. I would replace the switch with the correct magneto style switch -

Remember the Berwick Meet n Greet!! -
Around $100-150 probably. It would be like 4 flat rate USPS boxes. Unless you know a cheaper way.

I have been replacing all mine with sealed bearings. I like not getting grease all over my newly painted wheels, when I have newly painted wheels that is . -

1987 Wheel Horse 310-8 15 Amp. Fuse Blowing after Oil Sender Removed
Railboy replied to Railboy's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
My thing is this in your statement. The Fuse Blows at time of start up. Also, that Fuse Circuit is grounded out currently to the chassis. But this is how the Fuse is tied in. It connects to the Battery Cable at the Solenoid post with the Battery Cable. And as you said, the Key Ignition. So in cranking the engine, it starts, but during that process of starting the tractor, the fuse blows. And I have continuity right now between the Fuse and Chassis as mentioned. But, this is something I learned the hard way. For I was misinformed on how it worked. The Oil Sender has Positive Power going in and coming out of it during normal operation. And some how, the fuse never blew. The tractor cut grass all last season with no issues. But as stated above, the Oil Sender was taken out at time of rebuilding the engine. So, what I was told to do, is mimic the Oil Sender, and this is why I need to put in the "Jumper Wire" between the Purple Wire and Light Blue. So, I or my plan is to tie into the Light Blue Wire that connects to the Tan Wire, which goes to the Ignition. I have continuity between them, and should work fine. So also, the plan is this, disconnect the Purple Wire from the Relay and with its connector for the relay will be by-passed. Then do continuity checks to the chassis of the Fuse, Purple Wire, and Light Blue Wire to Tan Wire. Then take it from there. But as you see in the diagram, I am loosing all the relays and there Safety Switches, which is fine. I am already missing one relay, and the last relay to go is the one that ties into the Solenoid. Do to the Light Blue Wire meeting the Tan Wire illuminates it. I am going by the Diagram Model- 310 1987-Early 1989 one that I opened with in doing this. It is posted above. Not the Modded Wiring Diagram Model 310 for the wires do not show. That diagram if I have it right is the one which will be the way it "Could" look. Thing is, I do not have the Relay that the Orange, Purple, Tan and Dark Blue go to. It was taken out before I got the Tractor when the Seat Safety Switch was taken out I guess. And what was done, is the person jumped in the Clutch Safety Switch and PTO into the one relay I have, the one after the Solenoid, the one that the Purple wire runs into after the Starter Solenoid itself. Thank you for the input... -
Ever Seen a Zerk Installed at a 45-degree Angle?
Bill D replied to hotajax's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Those grease fittings are tapped in at a 45° angle. All my tractors are like that. -
Never really thought about it but I can see that logic. I believe the original spec from the 60s was straight 40... ?
-
I use 80 wt. because I have it. But I would not hesitate to use 30w motor oil. I think the lighter oil would be a better choice for the bearings. The gears in the hydro differentials seem fine with the 30w.

Just a quick net search so you might be able to find them cheaper but here's what you want https://www.ombwarehouse.com/sealed-ball-bearing-8273.html -
After some 50 mph winds, one of the brush piles re-ignited. There was no safety issue because we had disk the field but this fire showed no evidence of smoke before I left for home. This one was partially burned five days ago. It was monitored until rain started. Got to be careful when burning piles.

1987 Wheel Horse 310-8 15 Amp. Fuse Blowing after Oil Sender Removed
squonk replied to Railboy's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
" Blowing a fuse on start up." A fuse blows when too much current passes thru. Looking at the circuit my best guess is you have either a short in your key switch or your solenoid coil. -
