Recommended Posts

Still learning about my WH 312-8. Where do i start looking to figure out how to get headlights to work without buying new lights right away?

   First, check the fuse...if good..  with the headlight switch on,  jump across the headlight switch. if they don't work, then ohm the headlights themselves..if you get a dead short it is time to check out the wiring...:twocents-02cents:

What is the model number of you 312-8 (Should be on a sticker under the seat.  Some 312-8s had head lights that ran off the AC stator on the engine not the battery,  Those lights would only work when the engine was running.

WHX??

:text-yeahthat:some of my newer verticals are like that. Get us your model and we'll see about getting you a manual/wiring diagram.

While your at the fuses check the socket. often times they get corroded. If you have a multimeter or even a simple tester check for power at the light and work backwards down the wiring to you find 12 volts. If you don't have a simple tester get one.  Handy for other automotive stuff too.

@DerrickH  while I  agree with others on ideas , mine is to move wire connections , like dielectric  grease  to enhance connections , enhance grounding , don,t count on original ground areas , typically rusty / paint / corrosion . like alligator wire clip test wires , to jump over  areas . connected most of my grounding directly to battery ground bolt / cable point . test / check as you go . pete

      I am selling a 1970 Wheel Horse Electro 12. It is in *working condition*.
      It has AG tires and a mid-mount blade from wheel horse. 
      It also has a front mounted generator that currently doesnt put out power. It has been in the barn quite a while, so it may be a corroded connection,  not sure. Although there's not too much that goes wrong with them. 
      The tractor has been a great one for me. The last 6ish 7ish years that I've had it where I lived it brought the gravel back up my driveway for me every time it rained. In the last few months, it would run for 20-30min then die.
      I was moving at the time so just didn't have the time to look at it. And it seems I still don't. Where I am currently I don't have a place for it. I don't want it setting out and deteriorating. So here we are.
      Please contact me by text or email. 
      Thanks for looking!

      i know that there is ebb and flow with market conditions, but I have been seeing bargain 520 and c-160 prices more common. I recently saw a c-160 like model on a place other than here that was close by, but i did not get a chance to see it as I was still on a medical tether getting care. i say c-i60 like model because it was a series of numbers like 4455 or somesuch .Tractor had the k series engine clearly a sixteen HP and came with a decent looking deck and pusher blade. i called my buddy Jay and told him for the $250 ask , he better hustle after it. i really do not know if he did.
        I also have been seeing 520s and such lower than I can remember as well as the D series..My theory is that people experiencing paycheck to paycheck living are increasing in number.
      You even are seeing a lot more older trucks like square bodies and especially big blocks than you did before. we used to see this a lot in new trucks when fuel prices hit records.
      i am not claiming expert status on this, but it seems to be trending this way one county next to indiana and 90 miles North of the Ohio River.
       Tell me what you are seeing out there and what you think. 
           Edit:  Jay and I ran up to buy Bob Ellison's tractor in MI.  Bob was very nice to deal with and included his "last seat"   I got super lucky buying my first C-160 that did not start and another one shortly dropped in to keep it company. The tractor described above was listed for only two days and was gone
