HOW TO WIRE REWIRE HARDWIRE A LAWN TRACTOR IGNITION SWITCH STARTER SOLENOID MAGNETO BATTERY GROUND

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

My Murray 14.5hp 42" widebody LT select lawn tractor would not shut off from the ignition switch. The problem was that the previous owner who had replaced the starter solenoid had miswired the ground to the wrong terminal and did not allow the magneto to work properly.
This video will help you learn how to wire up your ignition switch to the components necessary for your lawn tractor to start, rinse, shut off and headlights to be hooked up.
For a lawn tractor to operate an engine properly, you need simply 4 connections, starter solenoid, battery, ground, magneto connections and if available headlights.
The stator wire goes directly to a positive ground connection, ground goes to the frame, solenoid wire goes to the trigger terminal for positive current to the starter from the ignition switch energizer.
While my tractor had a difficult time starting and while running, was difficult to shut off, a simple solid ground wire fixed everything.

    This is why I hate going back and diagnosing what other people fuck up because they think they know what they're doing. I had to do this to my girlfriends electric. The light switch in the bedroom turned off the outlet in the bathroom. It was all messed up. Brand new GFCI outlet that I wired into the main power so it's always on and the light switch actually turns off the fan light. Great job at figuring this out Henry. Keep up the good work.

    Enjoyed the video.. not because of what you did, but how you did. Comical! We'd get along great! I bought a used cub cadet z42 in zero turn, that someone tried by passing all the safety switches, but still has the B, M, S, G, L1, L2. Battery would drain. Now, I'm a network security guy.. so, the concept is the same, as far as "weak links".. It all has to flow. I started with learning the testers, looking over the diagrams. Am creating a diagram of my cub itself so I can visually compare it. I also have the three post solenoid and I think thats is my error.. its also a twin v, and the grounding to them, something off there also... I HATE electrical. But, watching folks like you and others am learning a lot of tricks.

    @@MowersNBlowers I can’t understand for the life of me why they placed the trigger wire and the ground wire together. As you would probably agree Henry, It really pays dividends to keep a good selection of electrical repair connectors and such around. At the DOT facility where I retired from, Our guys used the double wall adhesive heat shrink tubing and seamless butt connectors for wiring . This combination made for a very good watertight connection and was very strong once the connector was crimped by a set of crimping pliers and the heat shrink tubing was shrunk by usually either a butane torch or a heat gun. The salt trucks that come to our facility for repair were subjected to a salt and calcium chloride spray that with a opening or tear within the wire insulation would allow the copper wire to be totally destroyed by the corrosion traveling along the copper wire. This would be very similar to the corrosion of the wires within the immediate vicinity of a battery box in the wire insulation is opened by people hooking up accessories thinking everything is good until the wiring falls apart. Oh, The stories that I could tell.

    25:04 WARNING NOT KNOWN to many, Even though a replacement switch MAY FIT THE FACTORY PLUG the switch may actually BURN UP your wiring when activated OR the mower won't start OR you blow something else. NOTE: The Labels ON the PRONGS of your ORIGINAL FACTORY switch MUST MATCH the labels on the replacement switch, I personally screwed up a wiring harness thinking I could just switch out a key switch BECAUSE IT WOULD FIT the factory plug
