Hello all,
I have recently been given a JD111. It had a bad 10 horse BS motor, standard shift trans, and an electric clutch. The wiring harness has been hacked to pieces. I transplanted (shoe horned) in a really good running 18.5 horse BS twin cylinder motor. I have started the motor by using jumper cables and started the blades with a 12 volt power supply hooked straight to the clutch. I was able to drive it around the yard, it drives great, the trans works good, and I think I am going to proceed with the resto-mod. I am going to have to make the wiring harness.
Now for my question: There are two wires coming from the stator, one black and one red. I clipped the red one and ran it to the clutch, the other clutch wire I grounded.....Nuttin. Will I have to have a battery hooked up and the wiring harness finished before there is enough voltage to engage the clutch or should the stator be able to do it on it's own? The two stator wires.....am I correct to believe the red is 12V and the black is the ground?
Sorry this post is so long, I just figured the more info the better.
Thanks guys.
