Ok. Thanks for the info. Yes you are correct, the belts are for the lawn deck.

I am need of a proper voltage regular and how it is mounted. Pictures is a plus.

It mounts on the bracket that the wrong one is mounted to.... only it fits.

Here is the parts book. If you don't like CCC's price, a local auto part store can get you a replacement. You can use this site to look up your own part numbers. Go to the line marked "assembly" and click the drop down menu to look at different assembly groups. Bookmark the page so you can find it.

While you are at it, download the chassis and engine manuals from the tech section on this site. They should answer most of your repair questions. If not, then feel free to ask. If you can't find the manuals, say so and we can point you to them.

Thanks Jonathon.

What is this switch for?

Here's the only pic I could find of my 147's VR before teardown (plus a couple others I found on the interwebs). The correct one should mount with the hardware in the vertical, on that angled bracket. Don't fool around with this mounting, and make sure to secure it top and bottom. In a careless moment I test drove my tractor with just one of the VR bolts in. Vibration caused it to swing down, ground out and almost instantly set the wiring harness on fire.

Headlights. Mine was really frozen up until I got some graphite worked in.

I was thinking that but, wasn’t sure. Thanks for your help.

Also, I was wanting to replace my carburetor. Would you recommend this:

Rebuild the old one. Unless the throttle shaft bore is shot, I'd rebuild it.

How would I know if the throttle shaft bore is shot? I am assuming it is not.
