Information on 1512

[TheSaturnV]

Absolutely PeterJ, hope it is helpful.

I was a bit unsure about the clearance myself, but it really is enough. No way to turn the starter over, due to the shape. I don't think the motor can move enough against its mounts to cause a short. I would definitely do the ground wire update. If yours is still original, you probably just have a single wire running to the air cleaner bracket, which is insulated somewhat by rubber mounts. It's a really poor ground.

Here are the numbers on that starter from my comments section:

The part numbers for this starter: 2-2658-ND & 18400NN

I have seen references on ebay auctions to: 2658 &18400N

I paid $86 + shipping. You will not find compatibility numbers for the 882, 782D or 1512. Also, one last word on this: Ground wires are everything. Before you undertake this, first make sure your engine block is fully grounded. A CC service bulletin suggests adding a 2nd ground of larger gauge wire.

SaturnV, are those Kubota #s?

I requested a copy of the service bulletin from another member on here. Also, I briefly looked at my 1512 (1986 model?) tonight with a flashlight and my motor mount bracket is heavier than yours. I have one motor mount bracket that connects to all four motor mounts. Drilling a BIG hole shouldn't be a problem. It will be nice to go back to the original battery location.

I dig working on dirt bikes but am kinda getting hooked on updating the old Cub. I wish I could find a better deck, leaf bagger, power steering, a three point hitch.........

Saturn V,

Is it possible that the starter you put on is also a generator? Is that what the other wire is for?

Saturn V,

Is yours like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-S...Q5fAccessories

Does the drive gear stay engaged while the engine is running?

Yep, that ebay link is the one.

Not a generator, just a starter.

If I understand correctly, the white simply provides a continuous current during cranking, for instance the glow plug circuit (not direct power, mind you).

Interesting info on the motor mount. I was under the impression the 782D, 882 and 1512 were one in the same, save the paint job and stickers.

I'm on the hunt for the rest of my 3-point hitch as well.

Saturn V,
I think I was mistaken in stating my engine mount is different. Is yours like this?

That link puts up a blank page with the word "undefined."

Here's a drawing of the motor mount from Parts Tree. As you can see, the mounts are made of of several pieces. Part #4 is the left hand mount, and the right (not shown) is what I removed to cut the hole in. There are a number of holes already punched out of these mounts, so you have to be careful adding another. The lower section of the mount, #1, does not need modification. Bolt #5 is the reason the engine must be raised up to get the mounts off. It sits below #1 when assembled.

Saturn V,

The picture you posted is what was on the link I posted. As far as I can tell, that is what mine looks like. Thanks again for all of your help. Sorry about all of the confusion.

Not at all. Check back in when you get yours done, or if you need any more assistance. I'll periodically check back on this thread.
