When I was looking, $70 was on the high side but even $50 for a switch is a ridiculous amount. It's a rugged device. Pull it apart carefully and watch the springs! If one flies, like happened with me, Lowes carries a good replacement. Polish the contacts and she'll work well for you. No grease - just get it good and clean.

Glad to hear you have it running again.  A lot of times it's just a simple thing like that!

      I have restored a C-101. 10 HP Kohler - 8 speed - cast iron transmission with 36" deck.
      Any ideas what I could sell it for.  Thanks.  Located in  Imperial, MO.

      My daughter didn't know I was watching her

      Jada decided she wants do drive the wheelhorses because her battery on the simplicity was dead.  She can just reach the clutch pedals and I kept both the 502 and C-101 in low range so no matter what gear she selected it was still slow enough.  I've created another monster!

      Picked up a C-101 this morning!
      By Pullstart
      So my mom gave us kids cash for Christmas and told us to go find something for ourselves, I took a little 50 some mile road trip this morning and picked up a steel fender C-101.  Overall, it seems to be well taken care of and in great shape!  Except for the connecting rod issue that I knew about before heading to get it.  I have a spare 10 horse that had the carb and starter bits robbed from it before I picked up my 8 speed donor for the 502 so I should be able to use the left overs to get this back running.  Came with a RD deck and a big folder full of service records and receipts.  All in all, this will be a worker and should give me the ability to refresh my 502 without the worry of  downtime!

      LH gear case 3 speed vs 8 speed
      By Pullstart
      I just replaced the 3 speed transmission from my 502 with an 8 speed from a C-101.  the brake band location is different and the 8 speed brake bearing is loose, making me want to tear it apart.  Is there any confirmation that the only difference of these two cases is that tab?  could I put my 3 speed LH case on the 8 speed transmission, or is there more bosses in the hi/low case?  it would help prevent leaking oil and help to keep the brakes all set up right.

      thanks!
