9 years later your video helps someone yet again. Only video that helped and I looked at all kinds of videos for the last two days trying different stuff and dumping into parts. Crazy enough my cubcadet 1320 hydro prehistoric mower with sentimental value I can still reverse drive forward my blades actually don't engage until I move my pulley lever luckily as applying pressure makes the belt spin. I followed you killswitch didn't work for me but.... the throttle did so thanks a lot I appreciate the video brother.
Of all the videos I have watched on riding lawnmowers, you are the first to explain the coil kill switch is used to ground the coil and kill the engine. Thank you very much! I had a fairly extensive electronics background on old IBM card equipment, but I didn’t know how small engines, electronics were supposed to work. This makes safety switches current usage understandable. Thanks again.
Same here he's good 💯 I just doing a wizard mower with a 20 HP motor that I put in so now with this video I know how thank you brother for the video God bless you 😅
Thanks for your help
I know this vid is old but thanks to you I was able to bypass everything on a old garden tractor I picked up for $20. It has no deck but had all the safety stuff still on it. And all the wiring was hacked up and wires wrong. You were able to show me how to rewire and have the motor crank over after being off for 20yrs. Thanks!!!
Excellent
Finally! This is what I've been looking for! You cut all the crap out and showed me what is essential to make that thing go! It makes total sense to me. I just got a decent mower for free, but somebody has mangled up all the factory wiring and I can't figure out what is what. Now that I know the essentials, I can skip the spaghetti mess that came with the mower! And without buying a new wiring harness for $80.
I am going to use it for mowing, so I might put a safety switch in here and there. Whatever is necessary to make sure nobody dies on it.
Did it work . Can I get some feedback from you
@@MikeTyson2 yes, turns out I didn't have to do much. This video helped me understand what I was looking at, and realizing that it wasn't as bad as I thought. Just some loose connections. Though, I don't think I'm getting a good charge to the battery yet. I need to chase that problem down, but it's not a big deal. I get 30 to 40 starts out of one charge from my charger.
Same here, this was the best video yet thanks
thank you so much, i never would be able to fix my own mower without your excellent tutorial..... Kudos
IM STOKED! Just about giving up on finding the information.
And there this video is renewing my hope.
(Four nights in a row I burnt the midnight oil, because it's too hot to work during the day here in Mississippi) out of money and most resources but I do have these simple items you suggest. I'm going to leave you a rave review if this works and share it everywhere. THANKS SO MUCH SIR..
FROM NORTH MISSISSIPPI
GREAT video sir, I just rewired my old Cub Cadet Hydro 1320 i put a bigger pulley on the engine and it runs real good, it's best to remove all the safety switches, weld up a better exhaust, jet the carby.
I run LED lights 2 upfront 2 under the footrests 1 at the back and a 12V- 90amp truck battery up behind the seat, lights up well at night.
Finally somebody that shows how to wire the stater for charging. Everybody else seemed to have white an red wires but mine was black an purple like yours. I did the same wiring job on my murray because the dam safety switch's "idiot helpers" wouldn't let me start it.
Best precise info out there man , I've struggled so much with mower tractors cause issues like these , you are the man . Bowed to you .
This is exactly what I needed...making this old Craftsman tractor last one more year...or so. Thanks!!
Excellent demo. Thanks for the quick run through of the wiring... very useful tutorial!
Thanks. I have a second riding mower that I am turning into something to ride on my property. I was happy to find when I used the first url you provided, I was able to print it out. This will be a great help.
You really do crack the method to the madness, Great Job and easily understood.
Got a Lawn mower for free. Someone messed up all the wiring. Would not run so I followed the video and it is running well now. It is now my new yard cart puller.
Greetings from Rocket City!!! Thank you for taking time to enlighten me! Love it!
didn't go as far as rewiring but you video got me over the hump for troubleshooting why it wouldn't start .next thing on list is adjusting throttle .
Thanks a lot. Very well done and that diagram helped a lot too.
So glad to find your channel. I have several mowers and other projects small engines and ,
Omg thank you for making this video was trying to rewire my mower myself and it just wasnt gunna happen until i found this video
Great job dude been needing to know this for awhile
Super helpful! This is gold. Thanks so much!
Hi Mate , I live In Sydney Australia Thanks so much for your clip
I saved like $80 Aus , I done it my self , because no one wants to work here , lol
I am going to pimp out my mower
thanks again
Steve
Lol " Down under pimping " sounds scary , but Australians know how to do it .
Greetings from Rhode Island 🇺🇸
great easy to follow video. Job well done.! Ontario Canada
Thanks man the only video on you tube that heaped me with wiring my mower
Great video man. Very well explained.
nice vid very helpful! restoring the same mower right now a Montgomery Ward made by MTD.
Does a snapper zero turn 33" has a fuse that goes to the battery?? I bought one and I was told it has to have one. I'm asking because it keeps killing my battery. When I buy a new one it takes like 2 weeks till it goes dead all the way or could it be the solinoid??
I subbed & hit like...you are straight to the point brother!
I got my mower set up for pull start so I don't need a battery or starter. so what would I need to do with the 2 stator wires?
WOW!! awesome .. sooooooooo helpful . and practical .. yep .. I subscribed to your channel .. thank you for making EASY .. I really appreciate this !!!
You are awesome, saved me a lot of headache👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey thanks alot !!
I got the right same tractor and I needs some details about wiring and you reply right and simple about my ask 😀
Brilliant. Thanks. Worked a treat. I have a carb solenoid and I found on another video you can remove fuel solenoid and grind off the spring pin in the centre. This will mean your fuel won’t cut off at shut down but I’m not racing or puddle jumping.
I’m wondering if the alternator/generators on mowers give trouble
Me too
Thank you for simplifying this mess! I just need this crapped out old Murray to last a little longer till I get a new one. Just the info I was looking for!
Great job!! Very helpful.
Thank you. Very good video
ok well i have two questions my positive wire on my stator does not have a diode in it can i still hook it up with out one and n the bottom of my carb there are two wires coming off the bottom of wich i think is an electric chock how do i hook it up or by pass it. its a 14.5 ohv Briggs and Straton. and the engine come off another lawn mower so the wires on this one are not the same
ty I fixed it your site helped
what is that little sqare thing which is situated beside the place where the solenoid should be? the one with 2 pins. is it the v.regulator?
do you need the ground wire going from motor to frame ?
two small wires conennecting solenoid, which side does the red wire connect too?
Just defeated 2 safety switches on an old Toro Wheelhorse. All I did was find the switch and ran the wires together creating a loop. The one for the clutch safety were 2 red and one green wire. I tried a loop first with the 2 red wires. That didn't work. Next I tried using the green for a ground. Still nothing. Ended up by simply twisting all three together. The pto switch was just two wires, again just twisted them together. If you have small kids or grandkids, obviously don't do this and when you sell make sure the new owner is aware of what the situation is with the mower. If it works its a heck of a lot easier than this way, at least to me.
And of course you try this at your own risk.
perfect video helped me a lot!!!!!!!😁👍
very detailed! thank you!
Great information video.
Love your video
I will try it. I pulled a 20hp kohler off my ranchking (trashed steering gears) and put it on my Lt 1000. The kohler is supposedly fuel injected. I will figure it out. Good video bro. Peace
I respectfully suggest IF you need or want a BETTER quality solenoid switch that you get a automotive one, I used a automotive solenoid that's used on a 1965 Ford F100 truck. Many do not know these little mower solenoids are not truly waterproof, many are damaged by folks washing off their mowers etc. Compare YOUR ROOM where the lawn mower one fits to the Ford switch, the actual mount holes of my Ford switch MATCHED the hole pattern of the mower one, all I had to do is adapt wires to the switch, the cable terminals of the auto switch is larger.
i have 2 wires comeing from under flywheel red black black goes to ground red wire goes to a conater a wire goes to key switch other red wire goes to the bottom of solenloid have another wire goes from big post of solleniod to a fuse to key switch is this right ?
you can get a wiring diagram on the net if you know your model # a lot of brands are wired alike craftsman has a very good diagram it explains every wire on it good info.
Please supply the link Frank
This is a very good tutorial for me, thank you, My Craftsman shut-down on me. I tested the 4 Pole Solenoid, i got power from the Battery, power to the White wire when the key is turned, but not power on the out wire the the starter. I bought a 3 pole and Cowboyd the original ground. When i turn the key a get a Clunk sound on the chassis, think its the Solenoid. I have have found 2 Safety Switches. Though my Solenoid test should tell me the Safe switch's are good.
Would you happen to know if I could wire my fuel shut off solenoid into that extra connector on my solenoid
Thanks for your help!
Does the solenoid need to have a clean ground or does it need to have paint on it?
I have a 1999 Murray which has the red wire with diode and black AC output wire on motor side of connector. But on the harness side of connector, I have 3 wires, a white AC wire on one pin, a red DC wire and a gray wire connected together on the another pin. These wires separate with the gray wire feeding into another connector on the motor side thats runs to the carburetor solenoid. I know the red wire runs to the battery side of the solenoid, but what do I do with the white AC wire and the gray wire that would run to the carb? I read on the comments where you said to run one to the lights and if so, which one and what do I do with the 3rd one? Gray and white?
Very useful video, thank you. I've been searching for this kind of information for too long and nobody, not even manufacturers, seem to want to provide it.
I still have a question you might have some insight on: What about a rectifier/regulator in the charging circuit? Does the solenoid also provide this function (AC to DC/voltage control)?
I recently acquired a B&S Powerbuilt 12.5hp elec start engine with charging system that came out of an unknown lawn tractor and am trying to figure out the proper way to wire up the charging system.
AlwaysFreeAmerica manufacturer are not going to tell you anything.
This saved my butt. Glad I can throw out most of the wires on my mower
thanks helped big time
My dynamark makes spark when I push the button down I got the red connected to the push button and the black connected to the push button any ideas why it sparks won't turn over at all
Mate your a legend . helped me out bigtime
i like showing what i know how to do in a way most wont i like simple thanks bud
I was jump starting it to get it to run.chasing dodgy safety switches so I saw your video and thought fuck it I'm gonna rewire it.it still gets used to cut grass tho.but that risk is on me.
yep but i think that insted of the bolt that holds it to the frame one of the connectors goes to ground ive got one like you describe and ended up swapping it for the style i have in the vid because i did not know that it needed to be grounded
Thanks you so much this helps me out so much
Happy to help
The solenoid I had in my DR Mower was a 3-post. The starter switch, I think, went to the 3/8" battery post, I think, since it has a 3/8" ring terminal on it. I put a 4-post solenoid because I replaced my old b&s 12.5 hp motor with a 17.5 hp B&S motor with an alternator (regulated system) since the old one is unregulated. I'm not hearing any click at all. My battery is over 11V. Any ideas on what to check short of taking the solenoid back out and bench testing it?
You say you changed to a 4 post solenoid have you earthed it correctly. One of the two small posts should be live when you turn the key to start and the other has to be grounded to the chassis or battery for the solenoid to work.
thanks i have a lt1000 to wire this weekend.
So what do you do with the other wire from the stator that normally runs to the lights?
Some have that wire some dont if you run it to your lights one side of the bulb will go to ground the other to that wire if not just tape it up and ignore it
When u grab the 2 red wires one goes to the switch and the other one goes to the charger wire what about the solenoid wire where does it run to
Thank you a million times over!
What I do
The card solenoid how do you fix that problem when rewiring? Rats ate my wiring over the winter
+jesse hureta, my friend, check to see if the magneto (altenator) is pluged up, its 2 wires mostly red and black, some times white /yellow and black, thr red one should have a diode ( tiny little barrell looking thingy, that is what runs your lights and recharges ur bat, if its not that, you have a grounding prob draining your bat goodluck and i hope its a simple fix for u cause i hate working on the elect
Great video thanks
I have a tec 8hp electronic ignition on my big old Murray widebody ;)
What wire gauge do you recommend
The throttle adjustment on these things is a pain in the ass!
what if you have a craftsman with a 4 pole solenoid 2 spade connectors and your 2 round ones with a carburetor solenoid? help
How do i match the wiring from a craftman motor to a Husqvarna riding mower
nice job!
How can I tell if I have a bad stator was starting with key and now key don't work gotta cross over the selenoid and headlights were working and now they dont... do you know what may be the problem
Stater is what charges the battery if you don't need to charge it it's not the stator it's a switch or wireing if your able to jump. It with the solenoid I would look at the key switch
Thank you so much!
great how tos!. have you posted the video on how to rewire the fuel shut off solenoid?
Explained we'll thanks.👍
Ok so where did you get the solenoid from in the video
Thanks so much God bless.
The 2 wires coming from stator I have 1 with diode ran to selenoid side with battery wire... Where do I run the other wire... I have no wires at all and if I clip the plunger on the fuel selenoid I don't need to hook power to it... am I correct
The one side on the stater is a for automatic on headlights you don't need to hook it to anything unless you want lights and Yea clip the plunger off becarful with with the seals when you remove it so you won't need new ones and you can just ignore it that way
When did you do the video where you rewired the other mower? Did it have the saftey switches on it? Went from a 3 post solenoid to a 4. Do I have to have anything on the 4th post? And where would it come from?
if it is not marked + or - it does not matter it is just a coil to activate the magnet that closes the contacts. the only time it matters is if it has a diode preinstalled to cut down on chatter. if it does, the prongs will be marked OR the diode will be visible 1 side will go to chassis and the other the the switch
What about the inline fuse from the solenoid ?
Hey podna need to see how to hook up carb and pto with this system you built.
I’m melting wires.
I have a question can I use a on off switch to for the starter like the kill switch
yeaaaa but you will have to flip it back once its started a button is better
Hello, my solenoid has 2 spade commenters at the bottom and, in this video yours only has one at the bottom and 2 at top. Can I do this same exact wiring with my variation of a solenoid. Once again my solenoid has the 2 bolts at the top and has 2 spade commenters at bottom
Thanks dude for some no BS information,you need to make more videos.i would definitely share and like them.if you know how to do the same thing to a vtwin Honda gx620 let me know .
Two 😎
Again To Cool I forgot to say thank you I hope I am able to save this video. Thanks again. ME.
great video i understand now
did you make make the other video that parallels this one? The one for wiring a riding mower with electric wired cards? i need some pointers. i liked this video. you are a good teacher and easy to follow along with.
nice i got a 18 horse briggs will it be same ???
Hello, I tore or cut out all wiring. There was at least four wires running to top of motor under shroud. I cut them off, attached new selenoid, starter and battery, along with new push button gadget. I push the button and NOTHING! Don't know what to do now, other than buy a meter and check to see where there is no power or whatnot. HELP!
I replaced my solenoid, go to start it, nothing happens, but my battery wires get hot. any ideas?
Yea good info now I know why my starter was smoking ×)
Where does the black wire on the battery charging system go I know where the red one goes I don't know where the black one goes?
Hi mate, what is the most basic wiring system for my mower to run? Im going to use a key start as my kill switch and i have pull start and no fuel solenoid on carby
you only need the 1 wire from the coil to a switch to ground everything else hooked up is for charging or starting
Right on.
IBDALOVELY1 what ignition wires can i cut off... I dont want to change my key start. I just wanna remove the safetys
13:47 So you have 2 red wires going from the push button to the solenoid???
where does wires from stater hook took?
AWESOME!
