Wristpin 400 #1 Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) A friend has two aged Wheelhorses , one with an Onan engine with a charging regulator rectifier of a type that I’ve not seen before. Instead of the usual three separate terminals - one for each end of the stator winding and the centre one for the output to the battery, it has the centre one bonded to one of the outers. Can anyone explain this. ? Not having much joy with attaching an image. Says that I’ve used up all my attachment space but don’t seem to be able to clear any off.

Anglo Traction 1,016 #2 Posted April 30, 2023 Afraid I can't. There were many versions of Onans used in Wheel Horses. Mid - late 70s BF type engines were used in some 'D' series models. Mid -Late 80s in 'D' and '400' series. Early 90s 'E' version engines used in 200 series tractors Also 'P' version engines used in 600 series and others. If you can narrow the field with quoting an engine spec etc and even the tractor info it is fitted to, an engine service manual for it may hold the key to solving the issue.

Wristpin 400 #3 Posted April 30, 2023 Thank you. I will ask my friend ( who is 20+ miles away) for any engine info that he has. Meanwhile he’s bought an Etesia with a Briggs Vanguard lump and I’ve got all the manuals for that. I tried to post an image of the Onan rectifier/regulator but I seem to be lacking the ology to navigate this site. Going to “ insert other media” is met with a message that I’ve used up my allowance but with no obvious way of clearing my attachments to previous posts going back several years.

Wristpin 400 #6 Posted May 6, 2023 Membership. Quite possibly as the last time I tried to renew, the site wouldn't accept payment and Nylon ? Said that he would sort it. That was the last I heard. Not too bothered as my interests mainly lie elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
