I was able to get my hand/fingers and ratchet up above the mid lift and tighten the two bolts, all is well now. On a side note I got my front dozer blade cleaned, sanded, primed, and painted

The posting Bill Allert made is the avenue I took with my Lawn Ranger Tecumseh motors. I rebuilt three rectifier boards with the 3 amp diodes from Radio Shack and the other parts that Ed Stoller mentioned. They work and do the same thing the original diodes did and they will produce the same electrical output! Ed Stoller did three articles in the Lawn and Garden Tractor Magazine a couple years ago that highlighted this issue. The bigger HH 100 Tecumseh 10 HP electronic coils are also an issue that many Tecumseh motor owners have dealt with. Ed Stoller came up with a solution for that one too!

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Lane Ranger replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Oldies but Goodies! A picture i took at the 2012 Mentone, Indiana Wheel Horse Swap Meet that made it in Law and Garden Tractor Magazine! I took several photos at the request of Richard Layne of the highlight of the Mentone Swap Meet held on April 21, 2012. This was a two horses purchased by a one horse hauler: Tthe trailer hauling the two C models wheel horse tractors had a flat tire down the road about a mile after leaving the Mentone Park Swap Meet site. Both Wheel Horse tractors ran and as my brother David said he should have hooked up the Wheel Horse tractors as a team and hauled the real horse home!

@Chav88 , that deck might not be what you need but stay hooked up on this site and get the 312-8 you were looking for because they're great machines and two is better than one, three is better than two... Sincerely, @ineedanother

My family was a dealer during the 80s and when Work Horse was developed, we were told that they originally designed them for Sears, but they still weren't cheap enough for them, so W/H decided to sell Work Horse to the dealer network. C-85

This is my 1054 that my grandpa bought brand new. As far as I know its all original. Garage kept most of its life. IMG_1685.HEIC IMG_1686.HEIC

My belt came from the jungle today. The engine slides forward and backward on the frame for clutch action, and the clutch brake pad stops the transmission as well. I need to fire it up for test, but I believe it’s tensioned well.

I thought that's what I had done but may have put them in bass ackwards. I should have checked them again before installing them but I didn't . -
I still remember the intro with the shuttle launch and that music that went with it. Of course they took it down after the Challenger disaster. Appropriate of course, but it was very sad.

I was young and watched it quite a bit back then. Also watched American Bandstand and Soul Train too I don't miss it. Be sure to check out this thread.

Where the heck was 953 nut this time?
953 nut replied to 953 nut's topic in non tractor related discussion
The return trip to the hospital showed no bleeding without the Eliquis blood thinner, so I returned to the rehab center several days ago. I was being given iron pills that should have stimulated hemoglobin but the numbers went down rather than up. Every day they were in the 8 range which is rather low. Well I have learned another lesson along with the entire medical staff at the rehabilitation center. I requested the information sheets on the prescriptions I was taking; BINGO Two medications that were being administered at the same time as the iron were making it ineffective. The other two meds were moved to the evening rather than the morning and my hemoglobin went from 8.4 to 9.6 on the first day. 13 +/- is normal so I should be headed home by Friday. I know we all hate to read every word in the instructions but in this case it was well worth doing. Internet sites didn't reveal any negative interaction but reading the precautions and determining how the could impact others like the iron pill proved to be an eye opener. -
Built a box to hold all the parts of our Destination Imagination team’s entry in Saturday’s competition for safe transport and to be sealed into between registration “weigh-in” and the timed performance. Adults must be “hands off” on the entry itself, but can do collateral jobs!

Test the diodes with an ohm setting on the multi-meter as others suggested--often labeled with the Ω symbol. If the diode: 1. has the same reading in both directions (i.e. switching ends either the test prob), it has failed. 2. has no resistance in one direction and lots in the other, it is probably good. For a tested good diode, put the end which had the black (negative or common) test probe during the test having “no resistance” reading toward the battery -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
WHX?? replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
They do work good for that if you can get the height just right. Too low they'll rip the roots right out. In this sand anyway. -

yes I don't think this is the way it is wired up. I am going by the schematic I have posted in above post and believe that's the way it is wired up at the moment but had to quit before I really got to check everything good before I left. I was under the assumption that both diodes charged battery, but I am by no means an authority. The battery cable did spark when I unhooked indicating going to ground so IDK what I've got yet . -
Answered this in your other thread. The hazard of putting the same post in two places.

@AlexR regularly try something just to see if it will react , pete

Ok. I’m assuming you were able to start the engine using the battery. Once the engine is turning, the two wires from the stator start having AC voltage/current. They go to the diode bridge/rectifier which converts the AC to DC. The output flows to the battery “+” to commence re-charging the battery. The diodes in the bridge are supposed to be more than strong enough to do two things without damage: 1) block current from flowing in the wrong direction (i.e. allowing the battery to discharge instead of charge), and 2) allow the charging current through. If BOTH diodes were “reversed", they would drain the battery as the engine turned instead of charging it. If only ONE diode is reversed, however, charging current from the stator is blocked. In no normal situation will starting or running the engine cause a diode to “burn out" -
Bigger question is how did you bust the cam?!?!?

Smokem if ya got em ... Read trough them with a multi meter. Usually they go in only one way because of the notch. Notch end or cathode up feeding the fuse and the battery.
