Help identifying this?

[Ben N 2]

Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to Red Square and this is my first post so bear with me here. Can someone help me identify this electrical componenet? The guy I bought this C-85 from jacked up the wiring and I rewired the entire thing but I still have no clue what this is. Its located just to the right of the steering colum behind the battery. Thank you!

Welcome to the forum.

 

I will guess it is a Briggs & Stratton voltage regulator or rectifier.

What circuits do the wires connect to?

What engine does it have? Numbers?

Model and serial numbers for the tractor?

@gwest_ca Wow that would be strange. It had a Kohler K341aqs that the guy jerry rigged on there. The original engine is a Kohler 8 horse K181 that I have reinstalled. I'm not sure the serial number at the moment, I might be able to get it later but I'm assuming its something the guy installed aftermarket. I already hooked up a correct kohler voltage regulator so if that is what it is I wouldn't need it either way. Thank you so much!

Wheel Horse did use a 2-wire regulator 1982-1984 but have never seen one.

It will be interesting to see the model numbers you have.

I was thinking it looked like a transistor/diode wooby-dooby thingy.

Garry, now that you send that it does look exactly like that. There was a three way plug exact to that one on the stator wires but I thought it was something the guy rigged up so i cut it off haha oops. I'll send the serial i do beleive its an 83 so that would check out.

It is a 1982 model.

Build date 1981 1346 December 12 Saturday

Oh man thank you. I'm sure that it's a two wire voltage regulator then. Thats something huh? I wasnt even aware they made those. You don't happen to have any wiring diagrams for that voltage regulator lying around do you?

[gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,033]

i found out by accident that a regular 3-wire regulator will work with 2 wires if one of the AC leads is connected to the DC+ terminal. One of the AC terminals is connected to the DC+ inside the regulator so that is the one that can be eliminated by connecting an AC lead to the DC+.

 

You can see the jumper (loop) in the illustration from the parts list.

No wiring diagram so don't know which lead on the regulator is the DC+ but other members with one of these will know.

All right thank you so much I appreciate the edvice!

There is a NOS one listed on ebay right now as a Toro Wheel Horse Rectifier for $100, so I hope you don't have to replace yours.

Looks like the top single cavity has the DC+ red wire with one of the AC yellow connected to it.
