Wikket Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Hello ALl, I'm new to the Simplicity Lawn and Garden Tractors. I am cuurently looking at a 7112h, good shape, mower deck in excellent shape, motor turns but need some electrical work from the ignition. The guy wanted $225 for it. Do you guys think I should get even it needed some electrical work? Need some advise on
Simplicity85 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Welcome aboard, I think the price sound's fair.
johnmonkey Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I paid $900.00 for one with a mower deck and a rear lift and a heavy duty snow plow (the style you can tilt from the tractor seat), it was running great and has been a great tractor. jh
4xbill Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Welcome Wikket! If it is in good shape like you say, I think it is a fair price. Plenty of info and help here. You should spend the 10 bucks for full membership. It'll be the best investment you make in the tractor.
goatfarmer Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Sounds OK to me. I bought the AC equivalent a few years ago, for $300.00 Ran, needed carb work. Find out what they mean by "electrical work". That might be as simple as a set of points, or as complicated as a wiring harness.
Zach Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Like goatfarmer said you may luck out and have it be a set of points but if it needs to be rewired that wouldn't be that bad, it would also be a great learning experience:D. I would go for itdOd
Wikket Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks for the advice, I will go pick it up on Saturday morning. I will take some pictures and post it up when i get it.
johnmonkey Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Hello (again)Wikket, and welcome aboard, in order to post pictures, you need to be a member, the cheapest $10.00 you will ever spend. jh
Wikket Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Hello All, Well, I pick up the tractor. Looks good, brought it to the shop. Oh yeah, also pick up another set of rear wheels from the guy. (dullies) Battery dead. Jump start, turn the ignition nothing, no sound or anything. Now, trying it the dirty way, 12 volts to the starter. Engine crank, glad to here that thing crank. My question is, where can I get a wiring schematic for the 7112? Please help.. thanks for everybody input.
OrangeMetalGuy Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 [url]http://www.simpletractors.com/[/url] On the left column there's a place to enter your tractor's model #. Hit the search, then you'll get a list of .PDF files you can download. In my experience, you'll find maybe multiple manuals for the same tractor, but some end up having more info than others... so download 'em all and read them and delete the least-informative ones.
Chris727 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I believe your tractor has battery ignition. If the battery is dead and you're jumping to the starter it will not fire. You can't have spark without battery power.
Wikket Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 exactly, I also jump from the battery and nothing, I think the wiring is wire wrong. I am looking for the ignition wire diagram and color scheme, I can't seem to find this anywhere.
Brettw Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Check all of the safety switches, one at the lever for the hydro, one at the lever for the PTO. Either one is disconnected or bad, it won't even give you the time of day when turning the key.
Wikket Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Brettw, Did that already, I shorted both safety switch, still nothing. hmm, still trying to find the wire color scheme. Thanks,
cojo92 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 HeY there Wikket! Welcome aboard! Im Mike! Heres the parts manual for the 7100 series. look at page 40 for electrical diagram.

HubbardRA Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I bought a 7116H in pieces that did not run. Paid $250 for it.
