520H.... Finally got one

[BPEisenhower 560]

Hello Horse fans. It's a good day but bad problem.... Got a 520 H and can't be happier but, it's got issues (why it was cheap). Wiring hacked, constantly draining a new battery after a day. Gauges not working but the safety lights on the dash do illuminate. Can hear a relay click but that's all. Got all hub caps, snow thrower and new belts, pulleys, every book to tear it down including hydraulics. Bill of sale, warranty paperwork. Everything. Love the looks with the 60 inch deck. Is there a wiring harness available or is it something I get to make on my own?  I was told for the last two years it's been started with a jump pack and glad it doesn't have electric PTO!  Don't see a stater solenoid so jumping terminal won't work so there's that. Overall, I'm glad I grabbed it but wiring is not my stronghold. LoL. Any help is appreciated! Will get books out and throw up more pictures

Well you may not be an electrical expert now....and maybe a 520 is not the best place to start ...but you will I guess become an electrical expert.

The 9-pin connector and the fuse block has been attacked by the usual klutz.  I doubt that you need an entire wiring harness, just clean up the mess caused by the klutz.  I doubt that you can find a harness anywhere.

 

The solenoid is part of the starter.
