Solenoids are not polarity sensitive, either way is fine. We just went through a very similar problem with anot5her member here. I am giving you a link to that thread as well ad the wiring manual for your 310-8, take a close look at the START page (7-70) as yours doesn't have the idiot lights and extra wires that the 314 has.

My son asked me what it's like to be married so I told him to leave me alone and when he did I asked him why he was ignoring me.

3110k801 w-h 13508 0109 Original owner Arnold That's all I have there. I did find something hokie with fuses. New ones are on the way. 25Amp. I might have the solenoid tabs bass ackwards. Is that possable? No markings on solenoid.

Needed is the key word on this one.... Not sure if it had the longer hood or not. While repairing the original hood on my 854, I ran a shorter K161 air cleaner and 702 hood, still using the K181...

Not all wheel Horses are wired alike and they don't all use the same ignition switch. What is the model number of your 310? Once we have the model number we can pull up the correct information for you. Thee model number is on a tag located under the seat on the left side.

It was nuts the first few years here. Our first summer a guy lost a brand new walk behind tiller off of his pick up when a tire hit the hole for the water main cover, Then there was the stolen car that went through our bushes and hit the fire hydrant. The gang war 2 nights straight between the neighbor kid and some city hooligans. The other neighbor kids. 1 set his house on fire. The other one broke into the old lady's house out back. She was in the hospital at the time and he was looking for pain killers. He ended up pressing her life alert and called the cops on himself! THAT WAS A HOOT! Then the semi tire that flew off and hit our front porch. Then a drunk that hit the hydrant across the street and snapped off the utility pole

Do any of you do house calls? LOL I can start it by jumping solenoid to bat. Can not start with key. I tried. New after market ignition switch and solenoid. And coil (mice chew). Jumping clutch safety switch two of three prongs. (2 wires to switch). Jumping seat switch. Jumping amp gauge. Cleaning grounds. Reversing spade connectors on solenoid. I have not yet messed with. Fuse block. PTO safety switch. Oil safety switch. Any switches I missed? A pic of proper solenoid setup? Any thoughts appreciated. Just because that's how it was don't make it right.

speaking of gas -- i have read there is advantage to occasionally putting a splash or more of the 50-1 or 40-1 fuel from the premixed cans into the tractor tank ? Yes/no ??? Any thoughts

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that's Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones from the Outlaws. Yeah, they're good.

I notice the side hills along the freeway that get mowed - on angles that I wouldn't even consider trying. -

Remember back years ago when the state would mow with 800 series Ford tractors with side mounted sickle bar mowers. If the road bank got to steep they would mow side by side to keep the upper tractor from sliding down and possibly turning over. -
Our friend that does truck fabrication has said they'll no longer fix a spring in most cases. If the bushings are gone there's likely a crack too... but these are heavier rigs. The labor to cut burn chop press and all in reverse is more than just buying all new springs shackles hangers etc and torch cutting the whole thing off at the frame.

I mean no real testing of STABIL I have no science lab here. My elimination of problems is to replace the part properly. No farmer fixes. No mickey mousing. No hack jobs. Repair. Replace. Maintenance. Lubrication. Good quality parts. All add up to a winning combination.

I have 2 tractors that are only used in the winter, other than that they sit. I add nothing to the non-ethanol fuel and never have a problem starting them. I do put a maintainer on them every couple of months to keep them charged but that is usually only for a day, at most. They crank a bit at start up because I always shut of the fuel at the tank and run them until they run out of gas.

With the K161 having the 3-inch long air cleaner shell (versus 4” on the K181), it would not have needed the one-inch-longer 854 hood, right?

I took a look at the belt application chart and here is what I came up with, you be the judge as far as how much longer or shorter belt may work, to me we aren't launching Artemis 3 to the moon, just driving a Wheel Horxse.

Leg swing over the steering wheel (lower the implement lift arm to make it easier) and engine off for mount & dismount are my habits as well. Exception only for yank-start!

My washer came cheap, too. $50 for an engine from a washer that the owner left in freezing garage without antifrreeze in the pump (got the cart, hose, wand, and nozzles too!) $25 for a pump whose owner blew the engine (yep, low oil strikes again and “no thanks” on the accessories) Northern Tool has replacement pumps. Cam style with return springs is common and adequate for light use. Crank style is heavier duty.

I changed out my seriously compromised spring shackles .This is what was left of them . Only a bit of metal holding the truck bed under tension. An amazing amount of completely Bluetooth metal was in left . I had to grind out the bottom of the shackle to get to the rubber to burn it out so the base of the shackle could be cut and separated from the bushing. The bushing around the bolt was split so I flipped it over and ground away the other side to free the bolt. Knowing what I know now It would only be maybe two hours or less to do it all. At least the replacement shackles are powder coated

Personally I wouldn’t let anyone near me when I was brush hogging after an experience years ago. I was cutting some light brush and had a guy with a weed wacker with a blade on it doing around the trees. All of a sudden it started shaking really bad, my first thought was that I sucked up a cable or wire rope. So I shut it down and lifted it up to inspect. As I was walking around I noticed a 8” gash that looked like a mouth opened up in the side of the unit. When I looked under it I noticed that one of the blades was missing! That explained the opening in the side of the deck. I quickly realized that could have severely injured or even killed the guy with the weed wacker. I looked everywhere for the blade, but couldn’t find it anywhere. I figured it probably buried itself somewhere in the underbrush. At that point I was done until I got new blades. Here’s where it gets crazy. A few months later I ran into the guy who owns the neighboring property. He said hey was that you that cut the underbrush on my neighbors property a while ago? I said yes, why do you ask? He said he found a brush hog blade stuck IN THE ROOF of his house!! His house was maybe a hundred feet away from where I was working but the blade was in the second story roof. It didn’t damage it, somehow it got stuck between the layers of shingles. When he noticed it he went up there and just pulled it out. He told me the blade was broken right at the mounting hole. I got really lucky that nobody got hurt or killed. Ever since then I would not allow anyone anywhere near me when I was cutting brush. I can’t imagine the energy that piece of steel had to punch through the deck and still travel that far and high?! -
@rjg854I have the original seat. Has a nice Wheel Horse logo imprinted on the seat.
