B&S 8HP Unknown Part

[donens]

I have a Briggs and Stratton 8hp engine that I'm using to repower John Deere 68 riding mower. The model information is 193702 0215 01 90100830
and the part as per attached pic. As shown, it is attached to the rewind housing, on the carb side. It doesn't show on the IPL list downloaded from Briggs and Stratton. Anyone know what it is and what the function would be or where it is wired to?

Kind of looks like a voltage regulator, but I have never seen anything like it on briggs.

Close IL, it is a solid start rectifier. Have not see one in many years. Took awhile for me to find it in this manual. Used on the first series of "alternators" Briggs put out. You can check it out on page 58-59 of this manual.

Thanks! Can't seem to get the document link to work. It opens a new blank page. Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to PM doc?

Hi donens,
What model Ingersoll machine do you have?

 

[donens]

I have Case/Ingersoll 220, 224 and 444. All powered by Kohler. Have mowers and tillers for 224 and 444, Lawnsweeper which I'm trying to rebuild but have problem in finding replacement brushes that aren't super expensive.

Model 68 John Deere electric start was a option. If you bought the electric start accessory it came with a small battery charger which you plugged in the wall over night when you were done mowing. You shouldn't need it unless you plan the add the electric start. That old John Deere model 68 was a nice mower but it didn't turn very sharp and they don't make parts for it anymore. They also made a two blade 34in. mower deck to fit that model.

Thanks! Probably rewire the JD 68 completely with more modern components. The only safety features are the neutral switch on the transmission and the brake switch at the front. Also, no lights on machine. I just need to put ignition switch with starter position to solenoid, and the solenoid. The repowering engine has already has alternator, starter, flywheel with ring gear and alt. magnets.

I know it would be the way I would go. I changed one over to electric start but instead of using a key switch I used a starter button, but never added a charging system. Seeing you have all the parts to do so add a charging system for sure.
