I think i messed up my red horse

[lotus 0]

I had to replace the blade on my 108 model. So i tipped it up on the side, and kinda left it there for a day or so, when i got back to it, the acid from the battery had run out and eroded the key ignition switch.

I managed to clean up the ignition, but unfortunately i dont know what wire goes where.

So can anyone with a Wheel Horse 108 please tell me what wire goes where.

I can see on the ignition that the pins are labeled A, M, 3 and so forth, there are 5 pins, and i can read all of them on the switch.

And i think i screwed up my starter engine too

So how do i get a new one of those?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a Wheel Horse 108?

:wh:

The 100's were the late 80's rear engine riders. 32 inch single blade deck I think. I checked the toro site and there were no manuals for it.

I know this is an older thread, and you have a couple of others going on, but for future reference....

I have a dealer brochure for the 1986 riding mowers, which includes the 100-series mowers. For this year at least, your 108-3 would have had rear-end stand-up storage bars to allow you to clean the mower deck, sharpen the blade and grease the fittings, and to save space while it was in storage. It also would have had a pivoting battery so you wouldn't have to remove it for the winter.

Sounds like a good alternative to tipping it on its side.

I can scan a couple of pages for you if you want to take a look, just let me know.

Duke, starting in 1968 Wheel Horse started giving tractors model numbers and model names. For example, in 1969 Model # 2-1641 was called an R-26. Other models had names like Commando 8 and also had model numbers. It seems you may be confusing the two. :woohoo:

Strikes me, and I hope nobody minds me saying, that a post entered in the Most useful posts section detailing how to ID your tractor, from the laypersons point of view would be worthwhile.

I look at picture of say a .....312-8, and if asked what model it was I'd say it's a 312-8,.... I imagine 90% of the members would. So from a novices point of view, an explanation of the tractor ID tag, common places to find it on the machine and how to interpret it might help out the "Newbie".

In the future questioners could have a link offered...just a thought.

If this has already been done, apologies... and ignore. :D
