Today I checked the gas tank and confirmed the gas line is about 1 and 1/2 inches below the fluid line but there is only about 3 inches of fluid in the gas tank. Then I pulled the gas line off the receiver plastic piece where is enters the tractor casing that houses the carborator. I then...

Friends, Thank you for you patience in waiting for me look into this again! I followed the six steps that Rivets suggested with the exception of cleaning the selenoid connection down to bear metal. Today I was able to get the engine to fire for two reasons. My son, after reviewing the...

After putting the tractor blower cover back together, I found one of two battery related fuses is broken based on physical examination (See pictures). No Corrosion on battery connections (see pictures). Battery is putting out 12.5 Volts. Chassis ground is clean. Used chassis ground for all...

Rivets, That makes sense that I can't test for spark until I can get the engine to crank. I have re-read all the posts and I have now completed the assignment of pulling the blow cover and fowarding pictures of the two Magnetos. Before I hook everything back up again, I need to know what to...

I appreciate your comments and understand we may run into some wonki wiring problems here based on what you said, however, this tractor ran like a champ all winter and I am hoping the problems getting this running were purely caused by my trying to bypass the switch based on a youtube...

Thank you. I will re-read all the posts and make sure I have answered all the questions with as much specificity as possible and I will try to get you pictures that we need to solve this project. I am blown away by the patience you have with somebody that only has a couple hours a day to work...

Thank you so much!! that should be fine to remove the two threads. thanks for explaining the transition from points to modules. one question, I understand removing the kill wire from the coil, but, this kohler has no pull cord and the switch doesn't work, so how would I test for spark?

I am currently in the process of removing the blower cover so I am distinguish whether I have a SAM or a Magneto coil but it sounds like you have already determined it is magneto and I have fried both. Is it possible to test the magnetos once I pull them. If not, I will start looking for a pair...

I did wire my new kitchen, but the 9 circuits were all new and youtube instructed me on how to successfully hooked up a four way switch, but I have no experience with tractor wiring. I would appreciate your help. Unfortunately I work 9 hours a day m - f. I can only work in the evenings and on...

Yes, the switch on the left is the key switch. I do have a red wire servicing an add on wench on the tractor, Maybe that is part of what is requiring more crazy wiring.

Thank you so much for finding this wiring diagram!! I am working on getting the blower cover off so I can distinguish between SAM and Magneto. This is really encouraging!!

Thank you for your reply. I reconnected the starter switch as you suggested and found a tag with the model number but it was hard to read. I checked under the seat and all around the rear left tire, but, found this tag on the perpendicular side of the rear trailer hitch. Hopefully this...

Thank you so much for you timely response. Let me answer your questions using your numbers: 1. Its a Scotts 20 hp made by John Deer S-2048 2. Its a Kohler command 20 #2408301 3. yes, absolutely nothing happens 4. I use a multi-meter to test circuits and I just replaced the 12 volt battery and...

Thank you so much! Do you suggest I order this JD-AM38227? Thank you so much for researching this part that I gave you little or not enough information on.

My Kohler command 20 Hp with a John deer 430-110 switch will not turn over even though it worked just fine as recent as two months ago. It had sat for over a year before I started it up last winter. Here are the steps I took to get it to turn over again. I replaced a bad 12 volt battery with...

Hi, My neighbor passed away and told his girl friend to give me his kohler command 20hp rider to me because I was the only neighbor who was friendly to this immigrant from Cambodia. He kept his rider in get condition and I was able to run it several times last winter. Then after sitting around...
