If it has an ammeter check that and the connections to it. Everything goes thru that first.

I'm guessing, perhaps, there is a fuse that blew. I had mine blow unexpectedly the other day. Had absolutely nothing in the way of power to anything. Replaced and it's been fine since.

First take a look at the wiring diagram in this download; then clean and tighten all cable connections.

I know this much... The Kohlers have to have a charged battery to run. If the battery goes dead, so does the motor.

My guess is the motor isn't charging the battery while it's running, so look for a bad connection somewhere. Or maybe you have a bad regulator...

 

To double check, recharge the battery and see if the motor runs again....

Over their production cycle Electros, Chargers and Raiders seemed to have used all three ignition systems that Kohler had.  Battery/coil, Breakerless and Magneto/Points. The last two will run just fine with out a battery (assuming you can get them started...) The first one will not.

 

How old is your battery?   If  you get the battery recharged and get her started check the battery voltage while the tractor is running you should get 13.6 to about 14 volts,  if not then there is a problem in the charging system.

That is a Kohler engine with battery ignition. The large white canister is the ignition coil and the small canister on the same bracket is the condenser. Points are on the other side down low and under a small tin cover.

 

If you get down and look up to the flat panel in front of the shifter and below the dash housing there should be an ID plate with the model number and serial number on it.

It started with the battery being charged up??? If it started and ran then you need to see if the charging system is working.  Otherwise the battery will go dead again and she will stop running. Do you have a multimeter??? (Voltage meter??)

 

Looking at the non factory mounting of the ignition coil and condenser i will go out on a limb and propose this engine was a originally a breakerless type but when some part failed a previous owner converted it to battery coil points system (the Breakerless ignition parts hugely expensive).

 

On the engine shroud below the white coil look for a Kohler data plate Find the Specification (Spec) number

      My cheap-o walmart U1 battery is starting to bite the dust again (barely able to crank it over fully charged, and ozzing everywhere) after 3 years on my 68' Raider and I am looking into a new battery for winter as I now have a plow setup. I was thinking of either getting the original 22NF battery that came with it or running a mazda mita battery which is a U1 size. Is the AGM worth the extra money over the 22nF even in the smaller size? I think the vibrations keep killing the cheapo batteries and I am trying to make sure I can leave it out in the cold and not have a problem starting in the winter. It does get down to 0F or below zero every once in a while. I don't think I want to go all the way to a 22nF AGM as it is $200. 
       
      Thoughts?

      I am picking away at the k series on the raider10. Basically the Piston blew through at the ring grooves as it appears the rings may have had too large a gap. I can feel a slight erosion of the bore where the ring gaps All lined up, but not even close to catching a finger nail.
      I am hoping just hoping out the bore will get it back to round close enough that a ring job will do .
      In any case I can measure the bore and report back. Discipline demands that I do not tear this engine down right now as too many things are taking up my time.
      Just hoping the gurus can offer a bit of guidance

      Just recently had a 10 pinion differential axle gears lose their teeth as shown in this picture from a post in 2014.  
      Was wondering if others have had this happen and if they determined the root cause and corrective actions.
      I am considering replacing the two axle gears and five pinions that were destroyed but did not want the same thing to happen again.
      I assume the failure was due to a worn cylindrical spring that I also plan to replace.

      Been looking at a lot or Raiders and Chargers lately and was wondering if they all have LSD? I know most of them did but I was wondering if some of the later models might have had the Uni drives instead ? 
       
       
       
      Thanks, Robbie.
