You are a very patient and determined man! I don't think I could have stayed with it like you did for all this time. I learned a bunch just reading this and will know what to do when mine (and they will sooner or later) starts doing the same thing.  Thank you!     :handgestures-thumbupright: :handgestures-thumbupright:

Thank you,
Being the original owner of this tractor and the 30 +  years of use I hated to give up on it ! Like part of the family. This was one of the few things I moved with me when I relocated here to MO  from NY almost 20 years ago . I had a 3 acre lawn around my home there and it always did a great job and now I mow around 6 acres , but I break it up between my 3 Wheel Horses and other machines. Fun thing to do when retired . It has been a learning experience ! I was happy to have found this sight and the members to help me through this process .

Hi Jess, I did not get a chance to try out the Ignition rotor because the battery was dead and won't hold a charge, so I bought a new battery at Tractor Supply this afternoon, haven't installed it yet. However, the old ring was indeed a black one, and the magnets were weak, one of them was so weak that it wouldn't even hold a paper clip !!! The new gray ring magnets were plenty strong. Hopefully I will riding the range once again next week. Have a great weekend everyone, and Happy Father's Day to all dad's out there in Wheel Horse land.

Yea my battery was week also from messing with this dyeing problem for so long , so I put a new one in a couple of weeks few weeks ago when I started again this year . I know my original Black trigger ring / Rotor had 1 week magnet . I used my 518H today off and on for several hour again  in 90% heat and never missed a beat !  Still a great running machine ! 
 Happy Fathers Day to you and the team as well !
