    Tach for White 2-155

    All, I'm looking for a White 4-position tach for a 2-155 tractor. They are the same between the 2-135 and 2-155 and one or two other models. They look like the attached image. There isn't a tractor boneyard within 200 miles that has one. Naturally, they haven't been made in years and inventory...

    Need source for 50-75 AMP batteries

    All, Admittedly this is my forklift, but anyone with the ancient 12v (possibly converted) put-put tractors has to have the same issue. After only getting one year out of a starter rebuild, it is time to heed the warning from my starter repair shop and find a 12 volt batter of no more than...

    Need source for 50-75 AMP batteries

    That would be wonderful. I wish there were such a beast. This is a Continental F-140 with the 96-tooth ring gear and it requires a 9-tooth bendix. It's also a 2-bolt mount.

    Need source for 50-75 AMP batteries

    Thanks! I may have to do this. I think someone else suggested 10Guage as well. As a last resort I have reached out to HGM Liftparts. I never get a good deal there, but they are the only place that has parts for this era. Given that fact, I guess it is a good deal. Going to see if there is a...

    Need source for 50-75 AMP batteries

    650 shredded the bendix You are going by modern starter standards. The Towmotor part number for the battery direct from the Towmotor manuals is 49885. Some parts sites have recycled that part number for a gasket of some kind. The Towmotor part number for the original Prestolite starter is 50340...

    Need source for 50-75 AMP batteries

    The problem with that is most lawn tractor batteries are now at least 250CCA. Many are over 300CCA. With a modern starter, one that uses forks to push the bendix out, you can run any CCA you want because the force at which the bendix hits the flywheel is controlled. 1940s and 1950s era starters...

    Need source for 50-75 AMP batteries

    No. I meant 75AMP. This has an ancient Prestolite starter which relies on inertia to throw the bendix into the flywheel. Anything over that throws so hard it shreds the bendix. I'm into my second $170 rebuild in two years because I stuck a higher amp battery in there.
