cojo92 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 i have had so many ###### off momentsC with this little guy. the 8hp repower that was in it i got running and use for some grass duty in the summer but then this winter it didnt like to start and I got mad and broke the recoil string clean off trying to pull start it.(gave me big blisers in my hand) so i put this big boy motor in it but needed some front grill modification. painted it after too. This is the 8hp that was in it... swaped the pulleys on the motors. having trouble wireing it up. can anyone help. Thanks and enjoy the pictures :D Mike
Zach Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Does the 12 horse have an alternator on it? Look for a plug with 2 pins sticking out from under the flywheel.
FastPaul Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 BIGGER IS ALLLLLLLL-WAYSSSSSSSS BEEEEETTTEEEERRRRR Nice work !!!!!!!! :D:D:D
cojo92 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 thanks guys! and yes paul bigger is def. better! :D and Zach it might ill post a better pic of the motor 2morrow.
B-16_IC Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Only thing I would advise doing,,,,, is cover up that decal!!&:) LOL! Looks like a nice snug fit, should pep it up a bit.dOd
cojo92 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 yeah i no lol. but hey its a briggs motor so it kinda cancels out the decal hahaa. and yeah im going to make a few more modifications and then twire it up and test it then ill paint the motor.
MowerMechanic Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 i put that same motor on my boys 717, i just used a wireing harness from an old craftsman. worked like a charm. his 12hp even says crapsman on it lol
bud119195 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I also wired mine with a different wire harness including different switch,and solenoid.
cojo92 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 bud, Is that the same motor as mine in your broadmoor????
bud119195 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Its a 12 hp out of a white lawn tractor which is basicly the same thing.
cojo92 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 can you send me a few pictures of ur wiring?? thanks.
bud119195 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Do you have wire harness from the tractor that you got motor from? If I took a picture of mine you would not see any thing all the extra wires from the donor harness are all balled upand its a taped together mess under the gas tank.But if you can find a wire harness .Im sure we can get you up and running
