So many things I do once in a while that reminds me of times I swore never to do it again! BTW the Harbor Freight tire changer is the best $30 I ever spent. Takes a couple tires to get the hang of it, but it's worth it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like those blades, especially the diamond-edged offset cutter. I have the Fuel model of that M12 Hackzall and it's a worker, for sure and these are going on my list!

Wheelhorse616 4 #44 Posted December 26, 2021 My wheelhorse 312-8 has been restored and my starter solenoid that is new only has power to the positive side. It won’t start but when I put a wrench across the two terminals it will start. Not the best with electrical so does the negative side of the starter have to be grounded. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine has 2 large posts, 1 to 12v battery and 1 to starter. The 1 small post should have 12v only when the key is turned and the clutch, and pto safety switches are activated. If you have power at the small terminal but nothing out of the solenoid which is grounded at its base, then you have a bad solenoid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
