2284
 

Back when Diesel Doctor brought my 1572 back south, he also brought with him Dirty Steve’s 2284. It has been my main grass killer up until last week. Steve had trouble with it running bad, missing. I think it is the left side coil. I am in the process of converting the ignition from the ASam spark advance to regular ingnition, like is on a 1863/1864. Anyone ever done this to a 2284 or an engine with this system?

IIRC I think the flywheel needs to be replaced unless you have the DSAM module. Maybe the Cyclops master will tune in.:biggrin2:

Yes indeed, I have the kit with the flywheel and 2 coils. It even comes with the kill wire harness. I just wish I would have ordered a seal. This one has been seeping. :bash2:

Steve gave me the link to the parts that the master gave him.

Dos this seal look like it is in too far?

Looks OK to me. :beerchug:

Thanks Sam, for the picture. Seal should be here by the end of the work week.

I don't know if that kits comes with a wiring diagram but be sure you don't hook up the power feed for the SAM to the new mags or you will let the smoke out of the wires. The SAM should have a Red a White and a ground. You will need to use the white for your kill and remove the Red power feed. Here is the 2284 wiring diagram.

oh goodie,
more magic smoke potential!!!:Explode:
so pretty on independence weekend.:biggrin2:

They sell replacement smoke. Not sure if the Lucas is compatible with Kohler? :biggrin2:

Just as a FYI, you are giving up 2 hp with the conversion.

Yes sir, Mr Bedell supplied me with a schematic. Once I got the SAM box out of the way it was clear on what needs to be connected.

I figured that but right now it only has one cylinder so the conversion is an improvement.

Been busy, finally getting this tractor going again.

Does anyone know what this tab is for? It is rubbing on the the grass screen. Thinking about cutting it off.

Its a brush cutter for anything that gets stuck in the screen. I would leave it in place.
