    What I am doing wrong with the chargeing

    Is this a new problem that just started? I think @squonk has spotted the problem for you. Below is a simple wiring diagram that shows how he functions of the wiring system interact. You do not have lights but the lighter is connected to the "L" on the regulator.
  3. October 5, 1919, a young Italian car mechanic and engineer named Enzo Ferrari takes part in his first car race, a hill climb in Parma, Italy. He finished fourth. Ferrari was a good driver, but not a great one: In all, he won just 13 of the 47 races he entered. Many people say that this is because he cared too much for the sports cars he drove: He could never bring himself to ruin an engine in order to win a race. In the mid-1920s, Ferrari retired from racing cars in order to pursue his first love: building them. He took over the Alfa Romeo racing department in 1929 and began to turn out cars under his own name. Annoyed with Ferrari’s heavy-handed management style, Alfa Romeo fired him in 1939. After that, he started his own manufacturing firm, but he spent the war years building machine tools, not race cars.

    I bought one off @Pullstart for a friend - $100 - in way worse shape... but worth it. They are tanks compared to the new ones...

    WHEEL HORSE TORO -REAR BAGGER

    I had the exact same parts as pictured on a 1989, 414-8, using a 37" deck. Worked very well without blower.

    C’mere deer!

    The temperatures and my schedule granted the trip to a processor buddy. I’m glad I jumped in the old plow truck, I smoked a little deer on the way home last night. The plow mount took the hit, and there were no marks on the truck. It’s been quite some time since I was involved in a car deer accident.

    2 second vid is all I could upload. I only use this tractor for mowing paths, I know its a junk engine. Its actually the second on This tractor. The original was 20hp. Just trying to get it going so I can use it to drag deer out of my woods. It was running fine now, spits, sputter, backfire, while driving, at ideal its fine.

    What I am doing wrong with the chargeing

    Wire from the battery should be on the center terminal of the regulator

    Three blonds are sitting by the side of a river holding fishing poles with lines in the water. A game warden comes up behind them and says, Excuse me, ladies, I'd like to see your fishing license. said the game warden.But officer, replied the second blond, we aren't fishing. We all have magnets at the end of our lines and were collecting debris off the bottom of the river. The game warden lifted up all the lines and, sure enough, there were horseshoe-magnets tied on the end of each line. Well, I know of no law against it. Take all the debris you want. Then he left. As soon as he was out of sight, the three blondes started laughing. What a stupid fish cop! The third blonde said to the others, Doesn’t he know that there are steelhead trout in this river?!

    What did you do today?

    We've had good luck introducing winter Rye in the past. Grows well in the fall.

    Absolutely agreed.
  16. I might do this specifically under the contact points. I'm wondering if it would help keep the metal legs from digging into the ground some.

    That came out real well. Take care of it and I’ll take care of you. Good job I’m getting it running.

    Well Eric, you can justify the need for having all those tractors you live off the grid. I can’t believe I own five now. Don’t know why, but I own them three is my ideal to have one might go in the spring not sure.
  19. Interesting design. Thanks for sharing
  20. Are you an engineer by trade? Will have to look for the pre attach a matic; ways to attach hitch to front. Did think i could take a bolt.. screw.. and run it across the hood hinges for quick off and off.. similar to S/G single attachment style. Except quicker off on.. to avoid 856 hood opening interference with hitch that would need taken off on everytime open. Need to find more ideas on here that have been made in reality and not just idea.
  21. How is it attached? Bolted to the front steering axel ?

    Hi, I see you have the mower upright to expose the underside, did you have to drain all the oils to do this ?? -I have a deck lift mechanism problem that would be so much easier to work on in this position .. Thanks Mike

    What I am doing wrong with the chargeing

    That is a 4 wire regulator - 3 are visable, one is under it. Is that one intact? Remove the regulator cover and observe the contact arm area of both relays inside.One is open with the key off, it closes to allow charging. (It MUST open when off so as to not discharge the battery). The other is the one opening & closing rapidly when running. With the engine running, it should spark at the contacts in use. If not, it needs to be cleaned. All that arcing is normal, but burns and erodes the contacts. Disconnect the battery! Lightly file the contacts - do not use sandpaper! Some folks use a crisp new dollar bill instead. Hook the battery up and see if it charges. IMHO - the wiring is old and painted - there may be corrosion where the wire terminals connect to the tabs & the S/G. A good cleaning is in order too.

    What I am doing wrong with the chargeing

    You will find a wiring diagram here. Click on the tractor to see it. This older Kohler service manual has a good section on the starter/generator and regulator.
  26. I have a wheel horse 885 and it does not charge. What is the issue with my tractor I am pretty good at wireing but idk why it’s not charging maybe I am missing a wire? the thick wire I think goes to my ignition I have a button to start it and a switch to turn on everything else
