Riding Mower Volt Meter Install

Installed on my john deere l130, fairly easy to be honest, this gauge was kicking around the tool box for a while and finally used it on this.

Find myself coming back to rewatch and find other helpful videos on my L130, so here, have a sub, thanks

[@hanksgarage_]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

looks plenty easy to work on! i've never even had a volt meter in any car besides my Rx7s but damn are they handy to notice drops or dying batteries. Good work buddy!

[@hanksgarage_]

yea its not bad

[@im-that-guy-pal]

That's some nice looking random cattage

[@zibi1988pl]

I wired it same then my tractor stalled and meeter died. Wondering if starter current some how went through the meter.

[@alssmallengines]

good job man, been wanting to put one in my L108. mine doesn't have an hour meter so I was thinking I could take the delete plate out & put it there.

[@hanksgarage_]

thx its worth it, I want to put a tach on it too but have yet to find one for 2 cyl motors lol

i went digital, new school baby!

[@DaCoder]

That mower actually has an alternator?

[@hanksgarage_]

+Sean Slater its similar to a motorcycle but yes. It is not like a belt driven one from a car obviously.

[@DaCoder]

Yeah, from working at batteries plus, many customers having no alternator on their riding lawn mowers would run the battery until it was

[@hanksgarage_]

Makes sense, however both this one and the craftsman mower I had seem to charge the batteries just fine, must be on the cheaper models that dont really charge the battery, regardless its best to keep a trickle on them if stored outside or for long periods of time, I do that off season or when I dont plan on using for a while.

[@mowerman7629]

why don't you put a inner tube in it

[@hanksgarage_]

+ed the mower man I may. But being that I have a running list of things to get done that are more pressing it's just easier to keep putting air in it for now.

[@swanktaylor6326]

Would a lawnmower start without any amp or volte meters

[@hanksgarage_]

Yes this is just an add on..

[@swanktaylor6326]

[@hanksgarage_]
