I got it done. Not sure which safety switch it was and I am not going to take time to figure that out. I have them ordered. My ignition system is in better shape now and it was worth the effort. That is a well made little tractor. Jumping each safety switch early on allowed me to exclude the...

So the 15$ part is not worth anymore of my time and since the mower is old replacing the part is a good idea for myself. Before installing the new solenoid, I tested it just like I did the new key switch. You never know and that test will save time should it be a dud. So to test the new...

Oh that's a shame. Cut and paste means that you tell everybody the same thing and you haven't even proofread what you told me. Lots of your advice was useless and confusing because it was useless. I believe you told me that I needed to be careful and be clear when you weren't careful you didn't...

Rivets instructions feel like a cut and paste. Can anyone else offer me any help. I have been doing a good job of making myself clear. So since I have jumped the safety switches and tested my key switch and have heard my starter function it is either the wiring or the solenoid I can not tell...

i not sure how to respond? were you reading my post while doing something else? how does no reading turn into 12v? no reading=0 not 12v. I covered the run position and the start position in my post

That should complete the test instructions

#4 I took my meter and clamped it to the solenoid post that does not have the positive battery wire attached then I took the negative wire and hooked it to the negative side of the battery I put meter on DC volts and went to my key switch on the lawn mower and put it in crank position and I got...

I hooked my test light alligator clip to the battery. Touched the bottom round post with the probe on the test light and it kicked the starter. I was attempting step #3

This is what I see. removed

Thanks for that. Yes sir that covered the hole ball of wax. All those that follow can perform this task with those instructions. I took it to the dealer he kept it over night, and jumped me ahead of everyone else because it was just tightening that bolt. I had the torque correct. I kept...

HR214SMA. GXV120 on plate HR214-AF on tag H4000030 A parts guide does not provide the information I asked for. But thanks for the thought.

Hello I need some help. I tried using some videos to guide me but it seems this detail was left out or I missed it. so it is the old HR214 self propelled push mower. Symptom it started squealing after starting it, at idle. Engage it, it went away. I figured there was a bearing that had went...

Thanks I have done that. The center cap pops out but no fasteners are below it. The gas tank has no visible fasteners under, behind or beside it. I looked closely at all angles that is why I asked for help. The only fasteners are mentioned in my post. The parts diagram is not detailed enough to...

Hi Can anyone recall how to make repairs to the controls. I just need to figure out how to replace the key switch. This one has a plastic plate over the top of the tower and the steering wheel and some kinda level is at the center. It has a tuff piece of accordion plastic that surrounds the...

no deck just tractor

I am like you i could not find the model so I tried to get close on the tractor. The engine i have the exact IPL. see my numbers below

For a while a lot and then never. I will fix it.

You hit the nail on the head. I assume I need to replace the diode in the 6 pin harness or replace the dual stator. Either way would I do that by removing the red top on the engine and work down. In the attachments it appears the short harness has two bare wires, either I solder the new one on...

Thanks fellas I have enough to help myself now. I did check the battery for AC and got none, it does have headlights. I will look at the wire and look for a bump and check for 12v to the lights. I never looked to see if the lights worked. I will report back sometime this weekend after I get a...
