New Parts Topic

Forgot yesterday's additions. There are already separate posts done in this section for each one of these.

Yesterday was the slot hitch pin, and the G9 6 and 10 piece lug kits.

Just added the Wheel Horse 111757, 110142, 106454 Edging to the store.

It has tons of uses other than it's original anti hood rattle and wire protecting uses and comes by the foot.

The Wheel Horse 1234, 83-2830 Seal went in the store a few days ago. It is the seal used in the input and brake seal used on the 3 piece transmissions.

The axle seals are proving very hard to find, Toro still has them for $26 each (ouch). I have some of those NOS and contacted NOK Japan, NOK is who made the original seal. They connected me with NOK Singapore where the seal was actually made, they have 4 factories worldwide that make seals. After sending them pics and talking to them we found that the tooling was obsolete for that seal. That seal is on hold for now but I may eventually find out who makes it for Toro, or have it made in the future.

Getting back into the wiring pigtails this week. I'm going to try to finish more of them up.

The 9 pin Molex assy is looking good, it has been upgraded to all 14 gauge wires and has a black with a white stripe in one of the locator sections of the connector for a reference.

The 2 different regulator pigtails are in the works, and the safety switch pigtail is as well.

There are 4 more new pigtails in process, the micro switch, 1 other used in a several places, and the 2 most popular regulator pigtails. Still waiting on quotes but will know more soon. Sketch is attached of the basic connector layouts coming soon.

The 9 pin wired molex connector should be in the store in a few weeks.

I've been playing around with the WH #4937 bushing spacer this morning and it's looking good. They will be done this week, I have someone that needs them. That's what gets me going sometimes you know lol.

I'll put more details in a separate post for it after lunch. The new lathe is making things very easy and quick.

9 Pin pigtail assy is in the store, will make a separate post on it as well.

It is here - Onan 9 Pin Pigtail

I'm on to the safety switches and parts that we don't have yet, most of the micros we already have. The small machine screws and nylocks will be here in a few days for the safety switches that are micros. They are all stainless so they won't rust and break when you try to remove them like all the originals did.

Some switches showed up today that I've been looking for on and off for a long time and has been discontinued for years. It's the clutch interlock switch # 110970. Time to break out a good cigar and celebrate lol.

The micro switch screws came in today. Longer ones are regular stainless and work for the double stacked switches, the black shorter ones are for a single switch and are stainless steel with a black oxide finish so they don't stand out, some of these are mounted where you can see them and the originals were black. The nyloks are regular stainless.

They will be in the store soon for a little less than the Toro versions even with the Stainless Steel and black oxide over stainless upgrades. I use the shorter ones the most so there are 500 of them here now, there may still be some still here after I'm gone too lol.

On to some very exciting things, for me anyway lol.

The clutch/PTO switch was the first, and I've found a solution for the discontinued trans temp switch that is discontinued from Toro, they've been recommending a pipe plug for years... I'm working on a 520 now that needs one so I had to find one, that's how a lot of things get done around here... I have some samples of them here and more on the way, one is already in the tractor I needed one for and works great, I just need to get pics of them and get them set up in the store.

Now I'm waiting on samples of the rubber hood latches for the blackhood and up models. I've found the actual manufacturer that made them for WH/Toro and they can still make them but there is 6-8 week lead time involved from the time I place the order. That's ok, at least it will be the same factory part and Made in USA.

Just because I go silent for days at a time doesn't mean things aren't happening, this stuff just takes time.
