Mike'sHorseBarn 2,999 #1 Posted January 30 Did cole hersee quit making the 95521 switch that is used in place of the 7263 switch? I'm having a hard time locating one that isn't almost $100. Most places don't even have them in stock. I don't really want to add a solenoid if I don't have to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,853 #3 Posted January 30 David Brown @new2horses has them too ... about 40 last I got one. Get ahold of him better over on FB. or I have his #. I have a couple but they have a M terminal for grounding the Mag terminal to kill so for magneto only. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the end, the 103990 switch (low amperage) plus a solenoid cost a bit less than the 7263-style switch. I’m also hoping that setup with lighter gauge wires attached to the switch will last longer than the Stens 7263 switch I bought 3 seasons ago (it broke internally with the key rotating past start and jamming--thankfully with no electrical connections made). I did spend a bit more for new 6ga cabling and fuses but I would have done that either way. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,853 #8 Posted January 31 15 hours ago, Handy Don said: lighter gauge wires attached to the switch will last longer One of pains of the original setups is finagling heavy gauge wires to the switch & getting proper ends soldered on and connections tight. The heavy wire can put some stress on the switch terminals. But they did it at the factory sooo... I use trolling motor wire which has many fine strands and is quite flexible. It also allows use of 8 gauge wire which I have done a few times with no issues on an easy starting motor. Motors with no ACR get 6 gauge. Plan the wire routing carefully.

Yea and I need to get some of those wires too. This tractor has literally nothing electrical on it so I'll have to do some measuring and order some cables.

This tractor has literally nothing electrical on it so I'll have to do some measuring and order some cables. My recent experience with the fine-stranded 6ga cables was very good and I can recommend it for flexibility. Jungle site had 3’ of red and 3’ of black as a package and I got six solder-on, closed-end terminators with heat shrink with the right size bolt holes. I did NOT crimp the terminators before soldering, fearing that I might sever some of those fine wires. To make sure the wire would be firmly in place and to insulate the terminator from the vise jaws, I used a couple pieces of scrap plywood with one tall enough to clamp the wire vertically during the soldering operation. The 6ga stuff conducts really fast, so I needed my propane torch to get enough heat to fully fill the terminator with solder (and char the plywood--fire extinguisher close at hand just in case). If I do this again, I’ll use some flashing as a flame guard. Edited January 31 by Handy Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get ones that are pretty flexible and cheap to cannibalize for battery cables! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much all of my soldering done with one of those cheap but handy butane micro torches. Wow 3200 strands @Handy Don did I read that right? Must be the same stuff @Achto gets from work we use for battery cables... super flexible. 3 hours ago, Mike'sHorseBarn said: Yea and I need to get some of those wires too.

Maybe some craft person can suggest a good use? @WHX?? handed me a big bag of scotch locks when I was at his place once and said "Here I saved these for you" . I thanked him and then threw the hole bag in his nice toasty wood stove. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
