Wheelhorse electrical diagnostic questions
FLtractor replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Thank you for info. Will have to bench test it. Anything I need to be careful with or take note of when removing the S/G? -
Can a 3/4/500 series deck attach to a 500xi series?

@Ed Kennell like a dielectric grease , on that petcock / hose / grommet set up . makes it much easier to install, great spot to experiment with a fuel filter , as well as just before carb , since adding stabil to all my fuels , there has been no fuel hose break down , 1 / 2 oz to tank top off , another problem elimination spot gone . pete

The pto looks to be a manual type. You push the lever on the right side and it compresses a disk plate for friction The monster has a black and green wire connected to it. The red wire with the fuse goes into the back of the connector for the switch and it would be on pin A labeled on the new switch That yellow wire that is on the solenoid that has the green wire connected to it goes to the center pin on that toggle switch. The yellow wire that is connected to the black wire goes to the +side of the coil and then to center pin on the light switch. I do know how to solder. Have several soldering guns and solder and have access to lots of colors of wire.

@Tom michael there are 12 related bearings , to a pto , mule drive , deck spindle set up . bearing lubrication failure , INCREMENTALLY stops the rotation , also relates to rough or whyining noise . that stoppage , starts the belt bouncing ,violent stopping and starting . this is a very common occurrence to these bearings . another tell tell sign of bearing failure is pto lever belt squealing , at initial trial to spin up deck . agree with @ ED KENNELL on the possibilities of deck debris . pete

I'm not too surprised that the ignition switch isn't working with all of the extra switches and wire color changin' goin' on there. Couple of basic questions to start with, what PTO is presently on the engine's output shaft? Is the Ammeter being used in the wiring. Where does the red wire with the fuse go?. Looks like it has a bare connector on the one end. The orange wire coming from the solenoid is connecter to a green wire, where does it go? There is a yellow wire joined to a black wire, where do they go? Do you have access to a soldering gun or a friend that can solder? It isn't mandatory that we rewire with factory colors but it would make any future troubleshooting much easier. When shopping for wire be sure to buy COPPER wire, not the tinned aluminum wire that Harbor Freight uses on their trailer harnesses. Most of your wiring will be 14 or16 gauge. The wire (light green in the diagram) that runs from the solenoid ( battery side ) to the ignition switch "B" connector should be a 10 or 12 gauge and a 30 amp fuse installed close to the solenoid connection to protect your wireing. Buying small bits of collared wires can get a bit expensive but if you have a trailer shop nearby you could ask them to sell you about four feet long of 7 conductor 10/14 or 10/16 wire, it will probably be less than $ 10.00. Tell them what it is for and they may have something laying around for free, never know. Hang in there, we will win this battle.

Take the S/G off and bench test it. Clamp jumper to body and Bat neg... Pos Bat to the A terminal on the Genny should spin up to speed quickly . I do not rebuild my S/Gs it is a very messy job but I do have a good Starter Generator shop near by Yes take screen of and you will see the nut that you can try to turn engine over with. I woulds remove spark plug first -
to Red Square.

Hey, I had one to match that on my left eye. Not a drive shaft but a 4-12 X 40 Leupold scope. Shooting uphill at a mule deer in Montana. Recoil from a .270 Win Mag wtih 3,000+ ft lbs of muzzle energy.

Ah, I may have a couple of those in my “low voltage electrical supplies” box. That’ll work well when I rewire the beacon-on-a-pole for winter plowing. Thanx

B-80 I just picked up for $50 the petcock was crammed, filter on petcock was bent over and broken, and the rubber grommet disintegrated when I removed it... Repeated tank cleaning, pressure air cleanouts, all new parts and petcock with no filter. I use in line filters that I can see...

Interesting, I've never heard of a 518-He

Seen this more than once myself.

Wheelhorse electrical diagnostic questions
FLtractor replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Where is the starter generator grounded? Since if I jumped it using cables on the starter terminal .. which means bypassed the ground battery cable that’s in the engine block- didn’t use that this time.. just grounded to tractor frame.. then what ground is there other than jumper cable ground? I don’t believe the tractor engine is locked up.. I just was told by a very helpful neighbor mechanic who’s helped me with various issues I’ve had with the tractor, he worked for Sears for 35 years .. but was just suggesting i might want to check if it turned over all way by hand before investing more time parts money ect being its 60 years old .. so where would the bolt to turn over engine by hand be.. under fly wheel cover? last time ran drove was 2? Months ago. When I got the tractor last year April it was running driving stopping ect. Would this be a good video to follow to rebuild the 856 starter? -
C-125 Black Hood
SylvanLakeWH replied to SylvanLakeWH's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Added permanent weight up front. Gonna keep this as the plow mule and second back up snow rig. B-80 will be for towing kids and back up snow rig. -
Here ya go... Pilfered off old trailer wire set I had laying in the parts bin.

Pic of the connection, please?

Today's progress: Added 4 prong connection for magnetic trailer lights. Now when I'm hauling littles around the hood I have both the slow vehicle triangle and taillights... Also fabbed a new hitch pin and added some weight front and back... Finally, ordered taillights to complete the lighting system.

Q: What kind of a tractor comes in a box? A: A Case. Being a farmer isn't for everyone, but hay, it's in my jeans

At last, a potential use for the old skateboard!

to theTell us more about your C-120. Was it mowing fine before this happened? Did the belt burn or tear? If the spindle and mule drive pulleys are all free, it could be a stone or stick wedged in any of the four pullies used by the deck drive belt. I buy all my belts at TSC. Full refund if they don't fit. A picture of the belt may help.
