Grandpa’s 953
kpinnc replied to Tonytoro416's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Gotta say that is one sharp 953! -
That would be for the birds.
-
Or somebody broke it off and used a short replacement... Edit: Now that I re-read that it sounds like a personal problem but I have seen some crazy tractor parts swaps down here in the hillbilly side of the country.
-
I don't think it requires a ground. The Magneto is grounded out by the kill relay being deenergized when the ignition switch is OFF.

314A trans issue.. is it scrap?
kpinnc replied to nyquil junkie's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
The 700 series pumps unfortunately have 1/3 the output torque of an 1100 series. They are more often neglected as 1100 series as well from what I have seen. You do have options to swap in another pump. As Don said an 1100 will bolt right in after you remove the transaxle adapter plate. Another option is to replace the entire transmission with an 8 speed. Zero modifications since it already has manual lift, and very few parts to make it work. The frame and sub parts were made to accept both so things like a clutch pedal and linkage along with the brake parts is all you need. And a shifter top cover to replace the DCL style panel. Very common parts. - Today

314A trans issue.. is it scrap?
Bill D replied to nyquil junkie's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
If you could score a good Eaton 1100 transmission it would swap right in with just 4 bolts and the brake and control linkages. Just run a hose directly from the high pressure port for the hydraulic lift on the 1100 back into the filter. -

I have no history with the WH Automatics, but - 20 Bonus Points for securing the temp gas tank to the hood for the test ride. -
All contributions have been a big help, I really appreciate all the knowledge! Ordered a clutch plate waiting for it to arrive. Changed all the fluids and fixed a couple of wires that the mice munched on. The engine is turning over but I am not getting any spark. Engine info attached. any thoughts on where to look. I am getting 12v at the + terminal on the coil and the lead going to the points.

A few pointless pics... -
This is the 314A I got in that auction I posted about elsewhere. I got the steering hammered out, figured out the starting issue, a few dirty grounds and a clutch safety and now it starts fine w the key. So I go to take it for a good ride, and it started out ok but within 50 feet, it stopped, got slow, wouldn't move, grabbed a bit, jerked a little, moved along slowly.... would hardly pull itself up a grade. Ugh. I was taking it to another driveway to take it apart and clean it anyway, so I see the little reservoir under the seat is nearly empty. I looked up the spec, filled it with 10w30 as its all I had, close enough until its changed. I worked it back and forth a while, some bubbles worked out, but its still as weak and a sick kitten. I jacked up the rear and let it run a while in rev and fwd. You can stop the wheels with your hands at full engagement. After about 15 min of shifting and running, its still barely moved the tractor at full engagement. This is bout where my pay grade ends. Is there something else I can try here? I'm not gonna replace the pump or anything heroic, I can part it out or something if its shot but I had planned to sell it off as a whole working tractor.... oh well. What are my options here....

Questions about the value of... stuff
nyquil junkie replied to nyquil junkie's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Looks like this 314a might be a part out pile... it has hydro issues. I'll start a new thread in the tranny forum. -
They started using the short ones. Look under the gas tank.

C 161. Hi low transmission
Lane Ranger replied to Lane Ranger's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
So when did toro stop placing the rear dipstick in the 8 speed transmission in the toro models? My 314-8 does not have it. I think it is a 1993 model tractor. -
I converted to the early style seat switches in the fender pan, just use the old seat switch assembly to make an adapter. If you cut the wire off the old switch then crimp on two insulated 0.187 female spade terminals it will plug in to the existing harness and connect to an older style seat switch.
-
What we preach on the plow field. Exactly! Better to have it & not need it than need it & not have it... as long as it fits the wheels, have at it.
-
Could be that is why I asked if the lift still worked if it doesn't then coupler failure is top of the list.
-
-
I just posted that you were correct - the seat switch. I did check the bearings yesterday and everything seemed fine.
-
Thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions on this issue, squonk and Handy Don - BINGO! You were correct, it was the seat switch. I put a temporary jumper in the connector and everything is working. New switch is on order. In the meantime I will be careful while mowing, and not just for my own health. Thinking about what Handy Don wrote: Fall off and it’ll just “mow on". If that happens and the tractor chews through my wife's plantings, the horse and I will be looking for a new stable!

I knew him a long time and I thought so. Probably. Most of his working life he was in sales, and so he was the kind of guy who would walk up to any random stranger and by the time he was done talking to you both of you knew all the names of the others kids and grand kids. I know I saw him having conversations with a number of people from RS around Kevin's setup two years ago.

I'm thinking the coupler might have stripped

Can you push the tractor with tow valve closed?
