B-60

Recommended Posts

Hi I am looking for info on b-60 interlocking system. If anybody has this model with experience do you really need those interlocking switches? I’ve had this for a couple months, but I never really took a look at it to see if the switches are actually there. It’s pretty dirty so I clean this over the winter time.There is no engine on it know. The tranny has blown out seals. So that will be first. then disassemble the rest. Hang frame a clean every inch. That way I can see what is there.  I found a switch for it but no key. Thanks for any help.

You didn't mention what year but they are likely the same. It couldn't get much more basic other than an older model with nothing. Here's the wiring for a 76 B.

  Never seen a real B-60 in person. So you have to press the clutch pedal while pull starting it?
  Interesting, hopefully you have good balance and she fires up in a pull or two.

Imagine yanking it without pushing in the clutch and it's in 3rd with a wide open throttle and it fires up! 

 

That would be a hoot!

I will try setting it up from the seated position Mike. And yes you have seen one before at Zagray. Tony Toro had one there twice.

The early Wheel Horses didn't have any safety switches. Ya either clutched it or made sure it was in neutral.:)

Bob thanks to Brian Badman has every thing to get this little tractor up and running. I am not good with electrical do you think you could draw a diagram? I know one wire has to be grounded. And the other must go to the engine somewhere or to a safety switch I have one switch with wire plugs on the clutch side. The other side I do not thinks there is one there. I felt around could not fell one.
