If you wanted to try it out sooner, you could always take the tractor out and get it stuck in the snow. Granted, snow's not as sticky as mud, but it's still give you an opportunity to test the new winch.

Fearless, I installed one of these on a buddy's ATV, all I did was wrap the hell out of that circuit breaker block with electrical tape. Simple and easy to replace if it blows, and also helps protect the terminals from corrosion. The only complaint he has about it is the duty cycle, but it works great. I've actually been going to harbor freight a little bit more often, they're cheap tools but they have some good warranties and the quality is better.

if your winch don't work here is a tip when you the cover of the winch ,(if you had the winch outside in the rain or whatever it might be rusty) put some wd-40 rust speaclist on the brush and the coil for overnight and dry it over night again, then you put some gasket sealer on the cap of the winch to be waterproof and the winch will work again(unless you burn the brush up) it work great for my 2500 and 3500 pound winches.try this if the winch fail 90% sure it should work :)

Like the install, very clean and you wasn't kidding on how tight it fits. Also liked the clear tubing on the power wire, I got to remember that one. Here's an idea for your dash wiring, solinoids and switches. The clear tubing made me think of it. I had to run new wiring for my jeep so when I got to the fuse box I made a pexiglass fuse box which was 1/4 thick clear pexiglass. Very easy to use and design with this stuff.

Fearlessfront i would be more concerned about the charging system. i am familiar enough with motorcycle and ATV systems to know that too many accessories can really put a drain on the basic systems they come with...i can't imagine what the power generation components on a lawn mower could handle. especially if you put a big draw on it from a high-amperage device like a winch. i don't know if i would trust the stock alt on my B&S opposed twin.
@Fearlessfront10 жыл бұрын
rtabish well, if it did kill the battery, it still has a pull start to start it up, so I wouldn't be stranded. And I bet after 10-15 mins of mid to high idle driving, the battery would recover. The charging system on this motor was a little better than a briggs, this one has a voltage regulator built in, and the whole stator is dedicated to charging, unlike a briggs, which has half dedicated to the headlights. At least most I've seen are that way. It's not gonna keep up with the winch, but neither would an atv charging system.

I fixed the body problems, now im into the hard work pulleys, belt tension and what not. But before I go any farther I want to see if the motor will go, guy just rebuilt the motor. I need to know how to hook up the throttle, choke, and gov all together i think i might be missed springs or something. This tractor been missing alot of parts. Hope you got an old mower you can do a video on.

Your best bet would be to find a similar motor to check how everything assembles, or at least a picture of the governor linkages. That's not something you want to take a chance on. I can't tell you how it all goes together, there are too many different configurations depending on the manufacture.

That would be cool, but as it is right now, the tires are pretty close to the motor, or the winch depending how it's flexed/turned. Bigger tires might rub. I may try something like that sometime, just gotta put some limiters in so it wouldn't rub. Good idea though!
