Got this in the other day with the wiring ALL messed up. Seriously, I've never seen anything like this mess. The man had the + battery wire going to one post on the solenoid. On the same solenoid post, was the starter wire. The other post, was a ground wire going to the negative side of the battery. And a few other things.
I got most of everything straightened out. Burnt wires replaced. But I have two wires that I'm still not sure about.
The ground wire from the key switch
At the back, there's a single yellow wire, that has a connection that would fit a safety switch. The two that go to the seat switch are connected. They don't look like they've been disconnected ever. The PTO safety switch is connected also. I'm pretty sure it went somewhere, because it had the same jumbled mess of a tape job as the rest of the messed up wires.
Now the deck. The brake on the left side (drivers side) is metal to metal with the spindle pulley. The other side is at least 1 inch from toughing it's pulley. And honestly, it looks like it's been that way from the start. Looks almost new. The spring that pulls that brake tight is in tact.
P.S. Just an idea, has anyone ever tried using an old fat belt, cut about 1.5 inches long, to use as a pulley brake?
