I was trying to figure out how to operate the plow using the hydraulic deck control when the 1440 hooks the plow up to the lever.
On the 1864 there's this thing which I thought was plastic and only there to show the deck height.
I flipped it around and realized it's steel and could be used for plow actuation. I'll have to figure the rest out later. Must do engine work first.
Something I noticed about the Kohler; The engine mount bolts are larger and in a different location from the Briggs. Kohler shown below.
Briggs bolts on the 1440.
So The whole mounting plate had to be removed to get the front bolts out. Ugh, more oily mess.
The Vanguard engine needs a diode on each coil kill wire so they can't interfere with each other. I had to remake my harness. The original harness was completely busted.
Much better. I'm trying to sort out any wiring issues before everything goes back together. It's much easier to access stuff when the engine is out of the tractor.
