That is correct KP. The starter button grounds out the solenoid operating it. The the other end of the solenoid coil is internally connected to 12v positive large post. You do have to have the 12v from the battery on the correct large post. I forget if they are labeled or not. If not one way to tell is read through the small post to one of the large posts. You should see the resistance of the coil on one of the large posts. That's the large post that gets connected to the battery. Should be open on the other large post. I have no idea why went this route. It's been said this same solenoid was used on some truck sno plow set ups.

Already did that and tested my grounds. Yep. I'm a proponent of ground jumpers. But... this 701 wiring diagram has some issues. The starter switch for one, goes from ground to the starter tab on the solenoid. Ground start? Also I do not have a working amp meter. Both of the ones I had set aside are open. Can I take my wire from the "GEN" middle tab directly to the positive on the battery?
-
Mine already looks like that because every wire except the 6 gauge positive battery cables are black

If it has the correct engine for '60 it would be a K91. Only real difference between a K90 and a K91 is the governor setting. 3600 RPMs for a K90 - 4000Rpms for a K91.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
WHX?? replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
These were really cheap ones too. Two for like $80. I was plowing a furrow for planting more asparagus roots for this one. Second pic is a Wild Game camera at the end of the field. -
I have fuel and spark with a new battery. The starter is a no go. I took it apart and it was pretty cracked and broken. I'm considering looking for a recoil. I also bought a used ignition that I've confirmed works.

A friend has an old wheel horse that is supposedly a 1960 model with a 4 hp kohler. K90? The tags are missing so assuming it's 1960, what spark plug should he run in that kohler?

Pan stand was out for paint. This is the only place on a 520 for it.

I must say I don't even have any play in my steering wheel. I'm very happy with this. But just like the 400 series I had. I'm back on the hook for wheel horses. My wife is like hmm savings account hasn't gotten any bigger. And I'm over here thinking welp it's not any smaller. We doing good baby

This actually sounds perfect. Thanks!! I’ll be in touch !

Hooked up the plow blade with the solid link and did some cleanup of the old pool area. Was just getting the hang of it when I stopped to add gas - BOOM! Damned aftermarket starter took a crap on me

Plowing snow! My neighbor and I were both plowing our drives. Me on a C-120 Auto and him on a B-100 8 Speed. I out-plowed him 2 to 1. Consequently he promptly added a Charger 12 Automatic to his collection and loves it for plowing snow. His 8-Speed is definitely better for tilling the gardens.

First model with an 8 speed transmission
wh315-8 replied to Adam Bish's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Just found this link, I have a 657 with the 8 speed that was factory. I know mine was special ordered with the new 6 speed and a sickle bar. My serial # is 268672. It’s already recorded. Just found it interesting that other 607/657s also came with the new 6 speed. -
I prefer manuals...
-
It is per task the manual is probably more versatile because it can do everything. But the hydro has its place it does well for mowing, putting around, and pulling trailers for yard work. It probably does well at snowblowing as well, I haven't tried it though. For ground engagement attachments the king is the 8 speed manuals.

I believe the 73-77 C series tractors were the pinicle of engineering and simplicity in the Wheelhorse lineup for a lot of the reasons stated above. They have the updated front mount mule drive which was much more simple and easier to use. The PTO clutch with the throw lever is a really good system as well. Wiring was simple unlike a lot of the later models. And didn't have the starter generator of the earlier models not that there is necessarily anything wrong with them. The transmissions are just as strong as the later models, with a few exceptions in the hydros. They are probably the easiest Wheelhorse's to work on. The hard parts are the hubs, hitch pin and steering wheel, and those are problems with almost all the wheelhorse models/years.

You mean like the fact that the Central Pacific Rail Road Company made their rout longer than necessary because 20 square miles of land were given to the railroad for every mile of track they put down and the fact that their route meandered from one natural water source to the next so the free land would be more valuable.

Ahhh yes. My seat switch was cut. Thank you, yet another blonde moment

@SylvanLakeWH Is that before or after getting the Diablo sandwich and the Dr. Pepper? he’s in a hurry. 😁 -
Could you ask this in the form of a question. You haven't told us what you are looking for.
