I use Anderson connectors on all my tractors. Lets me quickly swap batteries if needed and also completely disconnect when not in use. No parasitic drain, and no problems working on stuff.

856: factory drop in plastic gas tank?
FLtractor replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Ahhh that makes sense now… so solution is to just keep bolted down S/G… and be mindful of tank when moving working around it … also solution : unbolt the negative battery terminal and or bolt so battery terminal on regulator is no longer hot? -

Must be nice having a family that functions. -
I have had several incidents where I was working with the tank, or the generator, and in the process of moving one of them the tank came into contact with the terminals of the voltage regulator. If the tank is unbolted and moved forward, like during removal, or if the S/G belt is off and the generator bolts are loose and it is allowed to pivot rearward, the terminals can contact the tank One of the terminals on the regulator is battery power, it's always hot. The metal tank sits on the metal body of the tractor, making the tank itself a ground. If that hot terminal hits the tank you have a short to ground through your fuel tank.

I like the Big Show, and Portage, WI. I can’t make Portage this year due to a family function. Uncle Jim I’ll count yours if you count mine -
856: factory drop in plastic gas tank?
FLtractor replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Thank you for the info … Can you please help me better understand.. What do you mean the voltage regulator can come back… if the fuel tank is on the pan.. and there’s … half a foot? Of space between there and the voltage regulator.. how can it contact the tank if all are bolted down and the only connection is the one wire from the voltage regulator either directly to the positive terminal or the ignition battery terminal? -
What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse

We’re rapidly moving into summer now. The multi day 70+ degree days mixed with rain seem to be expediting the season change and the explosive grass growth. -

I only go to the Big Show. I could go to William Grove, it's even closer to me that Biglerville, heck I drive right past their show ground almost every day. I just don't want to. -
I decided to start out with a new AGM battery for a base. I went with the "Too much is just right" line of thought and dropped in a car battery. I donated the old battery to my Lowe's rider. The plastic tray under the battery just touches the hyro control linkage rod. I had some nice battery clamps laying around from another project and they worked perfect with the D's battery cable terminal ends. After running for an hour a full throttle it showed 14.5+ volts. I still have a bunch of stuff to check out on the electrical side and now the Onan seems to have developed a lean condition as it only likes to run with the choke on. Fuel pump, filter, intake, carb all need a look. I don't know much about these Onan's. I took a service school on them many years ago but I've slept since then.

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse

I mowed the neighborhood volunteer fire departments lawn with the 312. I also weedwacked around the building, poles and other lawn ornaments. It was mowed a few days ago but it needed another pass. No photo’s as I had my nephews 8th grade graduation to go to immediately after so I was hustling. Here’s a pic of the 312 which was the setup for the FD lawn mowing. -
My experience has been that the ignition switch side is not where you have to worry about electrical contact with the tank. The petcock usually won't let it go back far enough to contact the ignition switch. The voltage regulator on the other hand, can 100% come back and contact the tank on the front side if you are working with the S/G unit. I have a few strip of Coroplast fiber tape on the front of my tank to prevent electrical contact in that area.

Red Square Twentieth Anniversary Group Photo
MainelyWheelhorse replied to 953 nut's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
We ought to do a group photo for the 20th anniversary at @JCM’s gathering in the fall. It could be for the people who didn’t make it to the Big Show photo. -

I think I will take your idea here!! Possibly add additional rubber shield such as bicycle tube next to the fuel tank. Thank you - Yesterday

I'm curious as to what this attachment does. Obviously something else attaches to this but I'm stumped....
