805 wiring help needed!
 

I had a hot wire that was caught under a car battery from the person I bought it off of. Did not know until it was too late. Melted my harnes. I am trying to rewire it and I have cut out all of the kill switches on it. My problem is, I do not know what wires go where on the ignition? I was trying to refer to the wires from a 1220 hydro. However they were different enough that it did not work out. LOL. I got the motor started easily enough, but it would not sht off and the starter stayed engaged! So I tried to start completly from scratch. I am trying to go by the ireing diagram, but on the switch picture, it is too undetailed for me to know wich way is wich. If someone could help me out here it would be greatly appreciated as I love this tractor with its fender shifter! Thanks. Jody

Check your E-Mail. It was sent to the one listed in your profile.

How did your wiring pan out? These 80's cubs are pretty much model spacific, I found out that an ignition switch is not all the same. I took one from a 1720 and plugged it into a 1610 and boy did we have a mess. Best thing I did with these were to get a service manual, best money you can spend.

Yes, I h it up accordingly, even though my pig tail was colored differently. ve found that out! Actually, someone forwarded me a specific wireing diagram for that tractor and wired it accordingly even though my pig tail was colored differently. Wired it up best I could according to the color of the pig tail. Nothing. Tried to just wire the starter to a switch(push button) to the battery and battery to ground and it started(but kept running(starter)). So I started from there. However I could not figure out how to get the starter to stop running. So I have broken down and am buying a new wiring harness from sam here.Hopefully that will get me back into shape. Atherwise I have a great looking lawn ornament! Not a pleasant thought! LOL.

The wiring diagram for my 1110 is a little differant than what is actually on the tractor, why? The diagram for my 1610 is differant, why? The 1720 and 1330 and their diagram are the same as the tractor, why? I think they do this to keep us thinking all the time:bigthink:
To me theres nothing worst than wiring, I also found out as I'm restoring my 1110 that those safty switches are also a pain to work around. Unless it's just me. I wrapped up all the switches and tucked them away nice and neat, put everything together, rear fenders back on, with the seat. Put the pto on and it wouldn't stay engaged, I would have to hold it to keep it engaged. That turned out to be a safty switch that had to be closed to work, so a soldring job and a zip tie took care of that problem.
I've leared alot from my local dealer here on what will, and won't work before I've tried, but some things I just had to learn the hard way, and that's not all bad either.
