I've mounted hour meters on the dash of the 149 and side of the tower on the 123. I much prefer it on the dash. "If you measure time in tenths of an hour -- you just might be a redneck".

frank snerd,
Sounds more like a carb or fuel issue to me. What if you try swapping the carbs between the 2 tractors? You mentioned you've tried everything and the valve is the only thing left. I looked back into the archives and didnt find anything.

I emailed Norm B. CC Service Bulletin 194. It's printed on blue stock and very difficult to read even in the original...

Andrew,
There was a guy online making and selling wiring harness a while back. I bought one and was quite happy with it. I don't know if he is still selling them though. I sent him an email a few minutes ago. I'll let you know what he says when and if he gets back to me.

FRANK SNEARD,
I think everyone has just got cases of cabin fever.LOL I'd try what TERRY B. mentioned. Also if your grill shell is on the 129,you might take a long bar and lever against the shell & PTO enough to see if it works.

BEST of LUCK!

Andrew-

If you have tools, making your own is not difficult and cheaper than buying one if you shop around for the materials. When I restored a 100 a couple years ago, I made my own harness, and I had enough materials left over to build a couple more. My total cost for all of those materials was less than half the cost of a new harness.

Myron,

Thanks again for the CC194. The last copy you sent read great.

Frank S. and everyone else.
When it comes to trying to have everyone else figure out what your problem might be, there's an EASY solution that would make things much easier for everyone.

The thing I like the most is the "molded in" connectors on purchased harnesses. In making your own, is there a good way to seal them?

The sponsors have remade harnesses
