312-8

Recommended Posts

I have a test switch that I need help with. It has three black wires and I think one goes to the red from the battery, one going to a grey wire that goes to the pcb board. Can someone tell me where the third wire goes. It is a 31-12K804.

Thanks

Take a look in the manuals section for the specific electrical diagram for your tractor.  There are several different models of the 312 depending on when it was made.  (serial number/model are under the seat).  If not readable, which engine do you have?  Magnum, or K type?  They have different electrics, but for this part should not matter.  Ignition and other parts are different.

1992 312-8 operator manual has a wiring diagram

No black wire at the test switch.

Usually black is for ground wires so see if you can follow it to the other end. First check for voltage in the black wire and if there is none it is safe to connect an ohmmeter and see if it has continuity with the chassis metal.

So the switch has three wires. I said they all looked black , I could be wrong. One of the wires was not connected and I see no signs where it might have gone. I do have one going to the red and one to the grey in the switch.

Can anyone help with the wiring of the switch. All drawings do not show how to wire the three wire switch.

      Hello gentleman, 
       
      Problem: will not crank on its own, will crank with jump box—but still not fire
       
      Recent things I did prior to this issue: cleaned fuel filter, replaced battery cables, replaced cable from ignition to starter
       
      I have my test light out and am probing around. 
       
      There is no power at ignition/magneto wire or the ignition/starter wire
       
      There is power everywhere else

      Need some help. My 800 Special has an electric PTO. It is not working. Checked Ohms - nothing. My questions are 1) how does the PTO come off and 2) can they be rebuilt? I took the bolt out that I thought holds it on but no luck. Must be something more?

      hello all I'm a new owner of a 312-8 tractor, have starting problems, came across a very small, what I believe is a relay between the battery and the dash,its about 2/3rd size of a cube of sugar silver on the outside blue on top with a hole bout the size of a pea, theres 6 pins with wires connected to it on the bottom do not know what this is any thoughts? I cannot determine the exact year of this machine for there is no tag anywhere only tag on engine kohler magnum md #m12s   ser# 170370459  spec#  471527  I figure its mid to late 80s to early 90s. of all the wiring diagrams ive looked at it does not show any thing like what I just described also can that little circuit board be removed that's like a test point for idiot lights? any help would be appreciated  jeff
