ricky115 4 #1 Posted October 6, 2010 I picked up a a-80-r is there any wiring diagrams available? this one looks like the engine has been changed, its a briggs rather than a techy.. There is a push, pull switch on the dash, no idea what its for, no lights on the tractor, battery charged, power to the ignition switch, power to the starter, power to this switch on the dash not even a growl...any ideas..thanks ..rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz 502 #2 Posted October 6, 2010 We don't have one in the Wheelhorsemanuals groups and there is none available for download from Toro either. Hopefully a member has one to share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricky115 4 #3 Posted October 6, 2010 thanks buzz..going to replace the selinoid...an wait to see if anyone has one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Save Old Iron 1,566 #4 Posted October 6, 2010 a few pics of key areas on the engine and back side of the dash may help us help you. getting the engine to crank should not be too much of a chore. starter solenoids are usually very interchangeable once you know how they function. I'll be happy to keep an eye open for your updates. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Save Old Iron 1,566 #6 Posted October 7, 2010 connect battery charger directly to the starter ground and 12 volt terminals. does it crank now ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricky115 4 #7 Posted October 8, 2010 chuck...thanks for sending me down the right road...dont know much about the electrical end of these, but im learning, when i hooked up the jump starter, it sparked but nothing, started taking things aprart to get to the starter, gas tank etc, and noticed the starter drive gear jammed against the flywheel, got it free, took it off and put it in a vise, and put the electric to it again, it dos'nt throw the drive...bad starter?...taking it to be tested....thanks rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricky115 4 #8 Posted October 10, 2010 starter was junk..got a rebuilt one about to put it back together..will keep ya posted...thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Save Old Iron 1,566 #9 Posted October 10, 2010 Rick, your doing great so far. Placing the charger leads directly on the starter terminals bypassed everything that may have kept power from getting to the starter ( wires, connections, solenoids, safety switches). Keep us updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
