I’m going to try to keep it as original looking as possible to start with . If not I’ll look at that set up . I’m useless with wiring . Making the looms not too bad as I have the old one to copy 😂
Ahhh you can b that bad! Mine doesn’t look to bad. For a switch contact Brian, on bolenspartsandsupplies.com
Hi, mine was done with a on off switch for ignition, and a push switch to start. Would only start when the switch was on. I’m alright with wiring, and if your any good at wiring, you could do my setup
I have one of them. One the same, exact same I can’t remebre the engine. I have one that’s a ransomed from about 1950 something. A bsa powered one, a jap engine one and one the same as that
Got the voltage regulator and solenoid off I’m trying to work out how to test them and hoping they are fine . Any tips on testing ?
Id say buy new ones, they have been exposed for years, and if working will not work for long, solenoid should make a click noise when the key it turned to The one position
This is one big job. Get that wiring sorted. Go to bolenspartsandsupplies.com he’s a site sponsor over at gttalk. You probably need a new key switch, new solenoid, new wiring, new ammeter. Get that rust cleaned off and see if any bad damage. See how your pulley is doing, don’t look to pretty. You could go onto ebay and get a whole shopping list off used parts, just search “bolens” under all categories and then cross reference the part numbers you see to the part manual for your 850. Also try tubeframes.com and bolenspartsandsupplies.com and see all the parts you could possibly use
And does your pro go into gear? You probably need a new coil as you said it wasn’t sparking, your clutch is probably frozen too. So it’ll need dismantled
And I don’t think you’ll get any spark without a working voltage regulator, but send bolens 1000 a pm on gttalk, he’s the owner of bolens parts and supplies
I think it will always stay a little bit of a mystery as I don’t know the full history of the tractor . I’m going to leave it as it is rather than plate it up and try to run with what I have . It looks like the bonnet and exhaust are least of my troubles it looks like the hi-lo and pto mechanisms are seized up and that may be why I can’t start it up ?
I'll be going after this Sam and won't be splitting it however there are plans and instructions on another site we use that would enable you to get it made.
