Team I thought you had a spare engine off of a used mower at your finger tips.......... I didn't know you ordered one.....

I wish I would have known..... I could have got you a better price and the same engine for your mower.........

Plus Tard Mon Ami ~!~!

Oof.

Wish I would have known that. These things aren't exactly cheap on Amazon...

Thanks anyway!

Getting the patient ready...

By the way, if you're anywhere near NW Ohio, avoid the following shysters like the plague:

Black Swamp 4 Cycle and Custom
5625 Angola Rd. Toledo, Ohio
419-377-8880


They swore this mower was "fixed and ready to mow."

1 loose blade. 1 bent blade. Both were dull, nicked-up junk. All belts were bad.

And, of course, it blew up on the first real mow, despite having oil. Notice the orange gasket material from their "fix."

They will do NOTHING AT ALL to help remedy the situation. Pricks.

Caveat emptor and all that, but I guess I'm still foolish enough to expect a shred of honesty or decency from people.

Yep, if I'm in, I'm ALL in. :laughing:

Hope the brand new belts survive their light oil bath and this sucker bolts right up.

I could really use a win; they've been sparse lately.

Okay... she's here!

I've swapped over my ugly old front muffler, but looking at the wiring is giving me an ulcer.

Some pics:

Old motor with harness:

What the new motor has for wiring:

Wiring I scavenged from the old motor:

Old motor: 31C707
New motor: 31R907

Any guidance would be VERY MUCH appreciated. I can probably get better pictures if needed.

Thanks!

More pics...

This is the wiring from the old motor - red and orange wires going to a connector, gray(white?) and black wires going to their own connectors, with what looks like a ground wire coming from the gray wire connector.

I'm pretty clueless as to how to proceed, and I cannot afford to fry this thing.
