this is what happens when we get bored. Or i try to get to work. lol.
Ive decided to go ahead and make that allis manifold. I just want to see if i can. I think it would be really awesome to see if it'll work :-)
I have to Thank everyone who commented, and offered to help me. You guys are the best :-)
So anyway.... I got out the steel.... started working on it.... and hear something outside.
The kids from down the road stopped by....
We decided we were going to something lawn mower realated. They saw that MTD out there and asked if it was anything i wanted.... Remembering someone saying it might be worth money i said yes...
"OK... What about that thing"??
"Umm well....."
This little wheelhorse needed some attention. They had an 18 horse V twin briggs that they diddnt want... so we got to work.
It was in this later-model bolens. Take the kubota down there... start it up and find out the transmission doesnt work. Stick back wheels in bucket and drive home.... first gear... idle.... in reverse....
Took forever but we made it. We were very careful with the wires, and just un-did everything to carry over to the wheelhorse.
Got everything un-bolted then bolted and stuck a battery in and poured some gas in.
The wheelhorse doesnt have holes for gauges, so we stuck the whole "dashboard" from the bolens to the top of the wheelhorse with some bungee cords.
We diddnt un-do a single connection other then the battery. or so we thought.
Turned the key and nothing happens. The light on the bolens dash come on indicating it was getting power.
"Dangit"
I took some jumper cables and touched the terminal to the stater. Sparks flew everywhere but it turned.
Seeing as this was between the battery and the gas tank, i decided that sending sparks everywhere was probabally a bad idea.
so it looks like rewire time. This engine has a ton of wires for things like a deck (electronic pto), clutch switch, seat switch....
My wheelhorse has nothing. Absolutially nothing. The seven horse engine that was in it ran off a magneto. That was the whole electrical system.
So i guess its time to rewire it. Theres allready some wires hanging off the side of this creation.
Im looking for a wireing diagram for something like this. Its a newer V-twin engine. It has to be wired to run itself, thats IT. nothing else. It needs its starting system. Theres not even lights on this wheelhorse. Well, that work or that were gonna use that is.
If anyone has a diagram, i sure would appriciate it.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
