Some charging systems are not strong enough to run anything but the electric pto (blades) and headlights without running the battery down after some time. If you ever go with a deck, you could experience this since you also have an electric cooling fan. If the fan is more than one speed, you could run it at a lower speed. And, LED bulbs on the headlights would draw much less current, as well. I suppose you could run it around for awhile with the PTO engaged to see if it's going to be an issue. Moving air around the transaxle from your cooling fan is a nice side benefit to have. You've done a nice job.
@BobWilson844 жыл бұрын
Hey Rob, great point about the amperage draw. Thankfully the alternator (stator) on the Briggs can put out around 20 amps continuous. I actually installed a deck and ran it for about 1 hour with no voltage drop on the battery so it seems like the fan + pto + headlight combo isn't too much. Thanks!

@BobWilson844 жыл бұрын
Hi Henry. I used generic cables. The throttle and choke can both be mounted in 2 orientations. If you study the linkage, make sure the high throttle position of the cable means you are pulling the gov. spring tighter. The choke is “on” when the lever is back towards the rear of the tractor. Hope that helps.

@kennethwestervelt28437 ай бұрын
I’m years late but I’m curious what you use the tractor for as you said in the video you were not using a mower deck and I note your fan or mount for it makes the 3-point impossible. I’d seriously consider this for my 420 but I would need a different radiator/fan solution as I couldn’t imagine not having a 3-point on these machines. I like the smoothness of the vanguard but darn I love the Onan sound enough that the sound alone may keep me using Onan engines.
@BobWilson847 ай бұрын
It was built just to tow stuff around with the simple hit hitch, or blow snow. The guy who bought it mows with it and has a snow blower. The 3 pt attachments for these tractors are sorta too clumsy for my liking. What 3 point attachment do you use on the 420?
@kennethwestervelt28437 ай бұрын
@@BobWilson84 my 420 is a restoration project but the 3-point lives on my 316 Onan for now. I have a 3-point receiver adapter that also holds 6 suitecase weights. It gets used to move trailers or with a modest hitch/plate setup as a tow tractor to more other machines. I’ve also got a 3-point yo sleeve hitch conversion and it covers my sleeve hitch plow, disc, harrow, etc. lastly I have a set of 3-point pallet forks as the rear 3-point can lift about 800 pounds making it quite handy. I have a mower deck for that 316 but I use the 3-point do much that I mow with an older 214 just to keep the 316 as a dedicated work mule.

I don't know what Deere was thinking... It's a ugly design in my opinion. I guess with the new bushings and gasket maker it should last another 10-15 years. Ethanol in the new fuel probably makes things worse too. Thankfully there's a gas station with ethanol-free nearby. Have a good one - excellent username sir.

My guess is having the fuel lines coming out the bottom of the tank would interfere with a rear PTO shaft if you had one on the tractor. It would be risky trying to route both fuel lines away from the rear PTO shaft.

Yep, Honda’s a better engine. It was also another $1000 to spend on a tractor that is worth $3,000 (or less) it comes down to dollars and cents. Is there something specific to the Briggs that makes it a lesser engine? The new owner of this tractor uses it for fun, and it would probably take 20 years to get to 1,000 hours. The likelihood of ever wearing out the Briggs is pretty slim. Please, let me know what to look for in the Vangards... in your experience what is the weak link? Overall build quality?
