clueless 3,392 #1 Posted 4 hours ago My 704 (little red) is getting to the point where it takes several pulls to start. I know it sounds like not a problem but both my wife, she uses it more than me, both have arthritis in our shoulder, among other place. I have K181, a M8 and a K161 starter generator, will any of the work with out much fabrication. I know I'll have to do some wiring for it but that what I've got you guys for.

ri702bill 11,944 #3 Posted 2 hours ago If you go with the M8, the wiring gets simpler - both are magneto ignition, yes?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 20,344 #4 Posted 1 hour ago I happen to really like S/G so the K161 S/G would be my choice, Either M8 or k181 you will have battery clearance issues and for some reason the smaller motorcycle batteries are expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 46,216 #5 Posted 17 minutes ago Give me the tractor back and I'll fix it! ( someday) Seriously since that tractor sits a lot and that damp (cough cough) environment, I would look at giving the points a cleaning. I had to put a set on it shortly after I got it as it was a Bear to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
