I used the parts list on the S650g website to buy belts for our tractor. The new belts are wider than the originals. (originals are just under 3/8 and new are over 3/8, even though the sleeve calls them 3/8.) With the added width, the top layer of the belt rides above the pulley edges. (old...

I apologize, I was under the impression these forums were for everyone, especially DIY. I'm just trying to learn and revive this tractor that I inherited. Or at least figure out how much repair it needs before sinking a ton of money into it.

So after sitting overnight, the tractor healed itself and will turn over again. What on earth could cause it to do that?

Is there supposed to be spark at the points or is that what burns them up? I was getting a pretty big spark.

Well I killed it completely somehow. I took off the distributor cap and the shaft was turned to where the points were closed. I read on another post here that you can turn the key to start with the cap off to check for position. I did it twice and the position still wasn't right. The next time I...

Sorry this is a total learning experience. I've been reading up on points since I had no idea how they work and that is what I planned to check next. What I can answer is the spark jumping...the gap had to be very small, almost touching, before I got any spark, and it's very weak. This was...

My Satoh S650g hasn't been started in years and it won't start now. It turns over good but not firing up. I am getting very weak spark, you have to look close to see it, and it's yellow/white. I have been trying to test the coil. It's getting battery voltage when key is on. Across the 2 outer...

I've read the pb100 is 24hp. My sticker says 27hp. Anybody know if hp was changed at some point? Also in the manual it shows fuel level gauge is on side of fuel tank. I don't see a gauge there. Anybody that can share a picture of what I'm looking for?

I know this is an old post, but I have the same question and the linked post is no longer there. Anyone that can answer or point me to that post?

I found a 24L one-year battery for 1/2 the price as a 22NF. Since I have no idea what is wrong with the tractor, an inexpensive battery would be nice just for testing. For that matter, I guess I could borrow the battery out of my Toyota , as long as I can safely secure it somehow? (The tractor...

The tractor is a project I'd like to start working on, but first I need a battery. The parts manual says battery size is N40L, 40AH. The local parts stores can't find any such thing. When I Google it, I get a lot of batteries that appear to be for kids cars, and foreign websites. Can somebody...
