TR250driver 3 #1 Posted February 16, 2019 Hi Guys, Newbie to the Forum. Restoring a 75 B-80 I have owned since new. I am into the wiring which is not my specialty and I have forgotten what wires go to the rectifier. Three prongs and the diagram has a single orange wire that is present but I also have a double white wire that has no home. It comes from the motor. Could it be extra or part of the safety seat switch which has been removed long ago? I believe I have some no n standard wiring going on here from previous repairs. Thanks in advance for any help, Darrell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TR250driver 3 #2 Posted February 16, 2019 Searched the forum and ran across some generic diagrams and the double white wires I have must be going to the Kohler 8hp stator. This motor is not original to the machine and was a replacement 30 years ago. The wires were spliced and in bad shape I may have crossed them when I rewired them. Hope that doesn't matter. You would think the white wires need to go to the rectifier. Seems like the orange one should go there as well. Dang, I took pictures of everything else. Woe is me! Any electrics wizards out there? Darrell again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,031 #3 Posted February 16, 2019 Welcome to the forum. The 2 white wires are not labelled in the diagram but are the AC (Alternating current) leads from the flywheel stator. It does not matter which AC terminals on the regulator they go to. The orange wire is on the diagram and goes to the DC+ terminal on the regulator. The operator manual has a diagram. Click on the picture Click on the picture again and on the next page. Two of the photos of regulators have the terminals identified. Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,042 #5 Posted February 17, 2019 You mentioned that the engine is not original to your B-80. If it is a Kohler engine this should not be a problem. Bob's wiring diagram is very good and should help you through this. Glad you found us and feel free to ask any questions you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TR250driver 3 #9 Posted February 17, 2019 Yes I am a Wheel Horse type guy so I looked you guys up a while back. Nice forum you have here. In addition to the B-80 I have a late model Toro/Wheel Horse Classic GT. I believe it is one of the last of the Horses. It is in nice original condition with out a lot of hours on it.
