    Retrofit a voltage regulator Husqvarna YTH 18542

    Ok. So it looks like the yellow wire connects to the diode and the red goes to the battery side. I haven't cut anything yet. Wanted to be clear where this regulator should wire in. Your diagrams are helping but I'm not too up on the electrical symbols shown (except the ground symbol). It...

    Retrofit a voltage regulator Husqvarna YTH 18542

    I have the same mower with the same problem. Would you be able to post up the part number and related info like vendor name? And maybe a picture of how you connected the wiring? (Just did a search on google for the part number Star tech listed and came up with this...

    Battery overcharging

    Full code off the valve cover: MODEL: 33R777 TYPE: 0003 G1 CODE: 181102ZD Thanks for the manual Rivets. Also, it has climbed above 16v but I've shut it down when it does that because I didn't want to see how high it would get. Fear of blowing up battery or at least cooking it. But...

    Battery overcharging

    I put in a new battery this morning, replacing the 5 year old original battery. It started acting up a couple weeks ago where it wouldn't start so I jumped it from my battery charger and mowed. Had to do that the last three times I mowed even though I kept the battery on a trickle charger...

    Starting a Power Washer after a 10 year storage, what to do?

    Here's a video describing how to safely store a pressure washer. I know that's not what you're asking about but it does give a good explanation on the pump itself and what to expect when restarting after storage. So I guess what you're trying to determine is what steps, if any, were taken...

    No speed in forward Transmission issue

    Here's another video to check out: Debris under the mower can limit travel of belt idler pulleys and effect the pedal travel, limiting movement in forward motion.

    No speed in forward Transmission issue

    It was certainly a learning experience for me. There's less expensive fluid you can use instead of the Tuff Torq branded stuff. I used some Stens from Amazon after it was recommended by a guy who does rebuilds for a living...

    No speed in forward Transmission issue

    There's quite a few videos on Youtube that show how the transmission works and how to diagnose the problems. Here's the one I used to rebuild my K46. I've never done one before but after watching several different videos I decided to do it (same as yours). I only paid $25 for the mower so...

    Husqvarna Transaxle 532448354

    I did a google search for that trans part number and it comes up in a bunch of places, including amazon. Most claim they're in stock. Why not rebuild yours? I did mine and I'd never done one before and it works great now. Lots of Youtube videos on how to.

    Update on $25 YTH22v46 riding mower project

    Got the parts back and reassembled the trans about three weeks ago. Works great. Pulls up inclines just fine. Finished refurbing the mower deck with new rustoleum paint on both top and bottom. Installed new blades and new drive and mower deck belts. Adjusted the deck height and greased...

    Best way to polish Husqvarna orange?

    Maybe some inexpensive Turtle Wax on the metal parts. I just bought some and am going to try it out. Google "Husqvarna orange spray paint". I've run across it before. Maybe try "Back to Black" on the plastic parts? Decals are available from Husqvarna. Not sure which models are still available.

    Update on $25 YTH22v46 riding mower project

    Wanted to update on this mower project. This is about a riding mower I bought recently as a project. (Original post on another thread about poor B&S design) It's not a 3 year old model but rather a 2015 YTH22v46 twin cylinder 22hp B&S Husqvarna with 328 hours on it. Got it from a guy for...
