That is not like any factory set up I have ever seen. Maybe someone else has seen it and can help.
I agree with PJ on how it works, but he only has one AC output from the stator, according to his posts and pictures. That is what does not make sense to me.
Well I finally solved the problem. It was the diodes that the stator wire goes into. I got one from John Deere and that fixed the problem and my neighbor is a "happy mower" again.
Thanks to everyone who responded.
