If you have a #1 IH tiller set at 26" (4 sets of tines) you should be able to HOG just about anything with a 12hp that is in at least 70% condition. #1 tillers usually give up in virgin or hard ground before the engine runs out of power (just too much bouncing and jumping around).

Tune up the 12hp and try again, making sure to "hold back" the tiller with the tractor's hydro. Make sure it's running at 3600 rpm and that it's tuned right.

If you really must have more power, consider a 14hp K-series with a small bearing plate and flywheel, It's a drop in. Even a good fresh 12hp would probably suprise you....you just don't realize mow much power you loose on a worn out engine over time, tiny bits along the way, BUT throw a fresh motor in and WATCH OUT!!!!

Digger: Thanks, I will check the ground wire. Is that the battery ground wire or the wire on the right front going from the frame to a bolt on the generator/starter mounting bracket?

 

[digger]

Bryan!
DUH!!!!!!!! I guess I better read more huh!

 

[digger]

Joe R,
Sorry buddy, Here ya go. They just slip straight up and then the lever is installed.

 

[digger]

Gene,
I'd start with the frame ground, then the battery connections and see what ya got.

Gene, the oil is to help keep the windings in the coil from overheating.

Kraig,
I'll email you the pics. They aren't real hi res.
They are just scanned from film pics. And I
didn't have a flash so I used a floodlight. Do you want them all? I have a few more than what I
posted.

[thoffman]

Im sure it's more than luck. I'll bet you back hurts from turning over and looking behind all those rocks.

I just ran across a Cub with a Briggs engine and a Peerless rear-end -- it's called a 1100 -- can anyone give me some info. on this model?
Some of you may remember that I embarked upon the redoing of a 129 from the ground up. If you would like to see some pics. of the finished product painted in International red and off-white, just send me an email. And may I also thank all of you who answered my many queries -- your expert advice helped mightily in the completion of the project!

Gene Preston,
On the hard starting problem. Make sure all your krimp connectors are tight. Best to solder them. I chased a problem for months and found that the large krimp connector at the + terminal of the battery was not tight.

Thanks for bringing your tractors for us to see in IA recently! And thanks for letting us know about 510.

on 510, Does the engine still have the tag? What do the numbers say?
