    "I have a 1450 that I am building back up, and it had a Mallory coil on it. Will any automotive coil work on these, and/or is there any one brand that works better than others?" Not unless you get the proper resistor to drop the voltage to spec. I tried an aftermarket coil and it ran like...

    Edward, follow the service manual. I had a hard time getting things right on the gap with my 1650. Set the basic point gap, locate the timing mark(s) and highlight them with paint or whatever to make them visible. Them time the rig per the manual with a timing light. Timing mine made all the...

    Michael, it sounds like you have one of two possible things happening. 1 - The solenoid is bad. There are three terminals on the solenoid, two large and one small. Find the one large terminal that is hot. Jump from that larger terminal to the small terminal. If this causes the starter to...

    Tom, I had all sorts of intermittent problems with the starting system on my 1650. It turned out to be a bad PTO switch that worked sometimes but not others. Process of elimination and it was nearly the last piece. It look like you may need more in depth suggestions on the actual wiring...

    Donald, on the 'V', I am assuming in the spindle gusset? I only had to notch one of them for some reason. I think one of my spindles had been replaced at some point because the camber is slightly different than the other.

    Kraig, do you have the parts diagram for the cylinders on the Johnson loader? I could use that as I want to rebuild the cylinders. They are not held in with a snap ring like others. I am not sure how they come apart, but if I had part numbers I might be able to find out more. If you want...

    On the spindles, I went with this upgrade. Well worth the time and investment. The standard bearing are just not heavy enough, IMHO. ;) http://www.p.f.engineering.50megs.com/photo.html

    Here is a shot of my pump mounting and the skid shield I made for it.

    Kraig and Matt, I have a Johnson loader on my 1650. I had to add a forward brace from the top of the loader towers to the front of the frame (as you see on most loaders). One of my towers was bent forward and once I had that straightened out, I added the braces to prevent the bending in the...

    Ccote, on the topic of hydraulic cylinders; I have a loader that seems to bleed down after it gets warm. I have been told that the fix would be to rebuild the cylinders. Are those o-rings what would be the cause of this? i am also daunted, but want to give it a try. I rebuilt the hydraulic...

    On the topic of the fuel filter; I have been using the in line filter for an old Volkswagen Beetle and have no problems. They are stepped so that they work on 1/4" and 5/16" line. You have to tell the 'parts' person this or they will give you a blank stare. ;)

    "John W. It will hold for a while, but when you heat that plastic, it gets brittle and the vibration will crack it again. Personally, I wouldn't trust it. It could really pop and cause a fire before you knew it." That is hat I am afraid of. It is holding for now, but I agree about a sudden...

    My fuel tank on my 1650 developed a crack in it yesterday. It is a plastic tank. Is there a way to repair the crack? It is in the side of the tank, near the hold down clamps. Would heat from a hot iron melt it back together? Thanks, John

    We really need to add this gem to the FAQ's on adjusting for neutral! It worked like a charm. Heck, I have gotten so good and making that adjustment, with nothing happening, that this fix didn't take long at all. I had to make the shims out of shim stock, but it wasn't very hard to do. I...

    "Jim/John- Have either of you shimmed part #1 in this diagram? It usually wears on the trunion shaft and gets really loose. Lately, my hydro linkage problems on most of my hydros, 1450 and 1650 included, have been this, and not a worn trunion slot. Get some 5/8" ID by .010" thick shims, and...

    "John, could be wear in the linkages. A little bit of wear over several link ends adds up." There is a little (very little)play at each link, but nothing outlandish. Heck the new tie rod ends I bought for the steering had more play than the old worn out ones! The one place that seems to...

    I am having the same problem as Jim, only mine is a 1650. I have welded up the worn trunion and re-adjusted it for neutral several times. All is well until I take it out for a spin and then I have to put it about 1/2 way into reverse to stop it and keep it from creeping forward. Could it...
