Superior Quality, High Velocity 12 Volt Auxiliary Engine Cooling Fan. Use an electric fan to cool a competition garden tractor pulling engine with a steel flywheel and no cooling fins. Unlike fan blades that's fastened to the flywheel, an electric fan will not produce drag and rob power from the engine. Install fan with motor forward of blades (for maximum velocity) aimed toward exhaust area of engine. Fasten fan housing on a sturdy angle steel support brace with 1/4" bolts, flat washers, lock washers and nuts, in front of engine or behind grille in a garden tractor. See photos to the right and below. No need to mount fan housing on rubber grommets; these will serve no purpose whatsoever. Fan motor is 100% secured and reinforced to plastic housing to withstand severe engine vibration to prevent fan motor from loosening and become inoperable when pulling. Distinctive feature by A-1 Miller's. Draws 2.6 amps, produces 145 CFM. Measures 3" diameter and 5" length. IMPORTANT: It's recommended that the fan not be run while pulling because due to normal engine vibration, the brush holders inside motor could break.

  Grounding-Type Safety Break-Away / Kill Switch with Pull-Pin.
Use for competition pulling only; mount on rear of tractor. When the pin
pulled, it grounds the ignition coil from producing spark. If using with
a self-energizing magneto or electronic/solid state ignition systems: Connect
one wire to the chassis ground, and connect the other wire to the
points/condenser wire or to the kill terminal on the solid state ignition
coil/module. If using with a battery-powered ignition system: Connect one
wire to the chassis ground, and connect the other wire to the coil negative
(–) terminal. NOTE: With battery-powered ignition, as soon as pin
is pulled (engine will die), manually shut off ignition switch right away
to prevent possible damage to the ignition coil and electronic ignition module
if equipped with crank trigger ignition. This type of switch does not
disable power to the
electric fuel pump on a pulling tractor. It must be
shut-off manually by the ignition switch or an OFF-ON toggle switch.

 High Torque
Gear Starter Motors. Fits Kohler engine models K141, K161 and K181. 12 volt
negative ground. All starter motors are high torque nowadays. They have 20%
more wire windings than the early OEM Kohler starter, giving it 20% more
cranking power. Draws less amps; a smaller size battery can be used. Cranks
engine about twice as fast and draws less amps than an ordinary starter.
But with a
broken compression release, a direct-drive high torque starter may not be
able to crank the engine. It'll be best to adjust the valve clearances, repair
the compression release mechanism or replace the cam with a working compression
release. FYI - The aftermarket starter motors I
sell are the same as OEM Kohler starters. Kohler just place a big markup
on theirs because it comes in a Kohler brand box and the starter has the
Kohler name stamped on it. Kohler part # 41 098 08-S.

  10 and 13 Tooth Upper Mount High Torque Gear Starter Motors.
(Mounting bolts are below starter motor.) Each fits Kohler K-series engine
models K241, K301, K321, K341 and K361. The only difference between the 10
tooth and 13 tooth starters are, on the 10 tooth, the welded mounting bracket
is straight, and on the 13 tooth, the bracket is slightly bent outward so
the starter gear can properly engage with the flywheel gear. 12 volt negative
ground. All new starter motors are high torque nowadays. These have 20% more
wire windings than the early OEM Kohler starter, giving them 20% more cranking
power. Cranks engine about twice as fast and draws less amps than an ordinary
old-style starter. It'll crank the engine with less effort. Therefore, a
smaller battery can be used. The 10 tooth starter provides 13% more cranking
torque than the 13 tooth starter, and the 13 tooth starter cranks the engine
30% faster than the 10 tooth starter. The 13 tooth starter is best to be
used with a working compression release. But with
a broken compression release, a direct-drive high torque starter may not
be able to crank over the engine past the compression stroke. Therefore,
it'll be best to adjust the valve clearances, repair the compression release
mechanism, replace the cam with a working compression release or use the
gear reduction (Toyota) starter. FYI - The aftermarket starters
offered here are the same quality as the OEM Kohler starters. Kohler just
place a big markup on theirs because it comes in a box with the Kohler name
on it and the starter has the Kohler name stamped on it. NOTE: To
install the upper mount starter on an early K241 and K301 engine, the block
must have the curved (inward) indentation above the two bolt holes on the
right side (when facing the flywheel). Otherwise, a starter/generator will
need to be installed.

 Analog 15 Amp
Voltage Regulator for 12 Volt Starter/Generators. If the charging system
continues to charge with no gradual moving back of the needle to zero on
an analog ammeter/amp gauge (if installed) while the
engine is running, this will put too much voltage throughout the entire
electrical system, which could eventually burn up the ignition coil, battery,
burn out light bulbs, burn up the electric PTO clutch, burn up the electronic
ignition control module (crank trigger ignition)
and burn up the any other electrical components. With the terminals facing
you, they read: L = Lights | Bat = Battery | F = Field, A = Armature (on
the bottom). L connects to the Lights (if equipped); Bat connects to the
ignition switch, which connects to the battery positive (+) post; F connects
to the Field terminal on the starter/generator; and A connects to the Armature
terminal on the starter/generator. The frame of the regulator must be securely
grounded to the engine, tractor or equipment through the mounting bolts,
which connects to the battery negative (–) post. NOTE: Cannot be
substituted for use with the alternator/stator charging system.
|
|
   Two Wire Rectifier
Diodes. The 3- and 4-amp diodes can be used in a 12 volt non-regulated small
engine alternator/stator charging system to convert alternating current (AC)
to direct current (DC) to recharge the battery and/or power low-amperage
DC electrical accessories, such as LED lights, small electric motors, etc.
A diode is not required for
filament light bulbs, fluorescent and/or an electric PTO
clutch. The 1 amp diode can be used on an engine with a small charging coil
next to the magneto ignition coil on the stator to energize the field windings
in a direct-drive 120/240 volt AC portable generator powered by a small engine
or for a belt-driven
automotive alternator that's powered by a small engine so the
alternator/generator will produce electricity as soon as the engine starts.
IMPORTANT - Install the diode with the silver stripe toward the generator's
field windings. And do not overload the amperage of the diode or it may burn
up.
FYI - Briggs & Stratton engines have either one or two OEM alternator stators and they are joined together in two half circles under the flywheel. Some engines only come with one half stator. Each half produce 3 amps of power & 14 volts @ 3,600 RPM. If an engine comes with two stators joined together, one half produces AC, which is used to power the lights and electric PTO clutch. And the other half also produce AC, but is connected to a minimum 3 amp/14 volt diode, which is used to only recharge the battery. Under normal yard use, 3 amps is not enough to overcharge and burn up the battery. If both stator halves are wired together from the factory (as they are on certain engines), they will produce 6 amps of AC power and a 6 amp electronic/solid state voltage rectifier/regulator is used to power the lights, electric PTO clutch and recharge the battery. |
|
 Electronic/Solid
State Voltage Rectifier/Regulator for Old Style 10 Amp Output 12 Volt Alternator
Charging Stators (listed below). If the charging system continues to generate
full charge with no gradual moving back of the needle to zero on an analog
ammeter/amp gauge (if installed) while the engine
is running, the excessive overcharging may eventually burn out the primary
windings in the ignition coil, burn up the electronic ignition control module
(crank trigger), burn up the battery, burn
out light bulbs, electric PTO clutch, and any other electrical accessories.
These will also work with virtually any 15 or 20 amp small engine
alternator/stator charging system. Orientation of terminals are "three in
a row" (AC | BAT+ | AC). NOTE: Cannot be substituted for use with the
starter/generator charging system. FYI: After many years of use and
for reasons unknown (even to me), the old-style 10 amp charging system is
notorious for generating very few amps, about 3 amps more or less maximum
at full governed engine speed, and I have no idea why. I believe this is
why the 10 amp stator was a short-lived item that was discontinued from Kohler
and replaced with the more reliable 15 or 20 amp stator charging system,
which works much better and is still in use on many makes and models of small
engines today. So if your engine has the 10 amp charging system and it only
generates a few amps, it may need to be upgraded with the new-style 15 or
20 charging system.

an analog ammeter/amp gauge (if installed) while the

electrical system, which could eventually burn up the ignition coil, battery,
burn out light bulbs, burn up the electric PTO clutch, burn up the electronic
ignition control module (crank trigger ignition)
and burn up the any other electrical components. Each listed below work the
same. These voltage rectifier/regulators are small, compact and have the
same mounting hole spacing, and fit many 8 thru 24hp Kohler engine models
with a 15 or 20 amp alternator/stator charging stator under the flywheel.
For various makes and models of small engines with a 30 amp stator, instead
of using a 30 amp NOS (and high dollar) replacement voltage rectifier/regulator
(discontinued Kohler part # 277063-S), two 15/20 amp voltage
rectifiers/regulators wired in parallel can be used. Each listed below mounts
in the rectangular hole in the Kohler flywheel shroud with ribs facing the
flywheel for better cooling of the unit. If it's mounted elsewhere with no
cool air blowing over it, it could overheat and prematurely burn up. These
can be substituted for use on virtually any 15 or 20 amp garden tractor,
motorcycle, etc., alternator/stator charging system. Orientation of terminals
are "three in a row" (AC - BAT+ - AC). NOTE: These cannot be substituted
for use with the starter/generator charging system.

Available Soon - Detailed Illustrated Plans on How to Construct a Professional Pull-Back Garden Tractor Pulling Sled and a Self-Propelled Garden Tractor/Small Wheel Mini Rod Pulling Sled (Weight Transfer Machines) - (Updated 7/16/24) [Top of Page]
FYI - I'm getting closer to
completing my sled plans. But being I have lots of work to do in my shop,
I work on designing my sled plans in my spare time. As soon as my plans with
an inventory list of parts to use and with illustrations are perfected, I'll
post the announcement in my websites. And as for prices of the pull-back
sled and self-propelled sled plans, I'm not sure yet. Make me an offer and
I'll consider it. And remember - Perfection takes time. If it's worth having,
it's worth waiting for. It'll be money well spent. - Brian Miller
If interested, please contact me below.
Quality-Built and Nice-Appearing Garden Tractor & Mini Rod Self-Propelled Tractor Pulling Sleds (Weight Transfer Machines) For Sale - (Updated 8/17/24) [Top of Page]
Sleds will be built as orders are placed. A minimum 50% deposit
is required for all sled purchases. Buyer/purchaser can test sled with their
pulling tractors or vehicles on our 200 ft. dirt track, and then can tow
it on the road (like a trailer) or haul it on a large, sturdy trailer. Sleds
are designed with style and made beautiful to admire, and painted metallic
or color of your choice. Also, sleds are designed to start easy, pull smoothly
and sure to stop with grouser bar. They will also have a safety release lever
up front so when the weight box tops out and trips it, it will automatically
disengage the clutch to prevent major damage to the drive mechanism for the
weight box. And it will have another safety release lever at the rear in
case the clutch (for the weight box) is engaged when backing up the sled.
The self-propelled sleds will have a variable speed mechanical drive system
with hydraulics to lower the two front steering wheels/tires, and the bigger
sled will use hydraulics to bring the weight box back to its starting position.
By the way - the self-propelled garden tractor pulling sled that I built
in 1995 (and sold in 2021) is such an excellent design, I realized later
that I made something very special when other people copied it. It's still
in use today; click or tap photo of it to the right for a larger view.
Small size, pull-back
(non-motorized) sled with open cabin, comfortable swivel seat and controls
within easy reach for operator. For use with 1,050 lb. garden pulling tractors
and up to 1,500 lb. small wheel (26-12.00x12 tires) mini rod pulling tractors.
Length of sled: 12 ft. Total weight of sled fully loaded with weights:
approximately 4,000 lb. $6,000.00 each.

High Quality Digital
Tachometer/Proximity Sensor Kits. A tachometer is required in setting
the correct engine RPM, which is normally 3,200 or 3,600 RPM (depending on
type of carburetor), to prevent from over-revving and possible damage to
the engine or dangerous flywheel explosion. Choice of a
RED or
BLUE numeric display. Will work with
most small engines or multi-cylinder automotive engines, gas or diesel. Very
accurate, vibration-proof and weatherproof construction. The great thing
about this type of tachometer is that it needs no setup or programming. Displays
accurate RPM as soon as the engine cranks over to start. Displays up to 9,999
RPM. Tachometer returns to zero [0000] when engine is shut down. Can be used
for lawn & garden equipment or competition pulling engines. Designed
to be permanently mounted to monitor engine RPM at all times. Tachometer
can be in-dash or panel-mounted. This precision digital tachometer operates
with external power and on the same principle as my

Used 9-1/2" flywheel w/ring
gear. ($125.00)
Complete Alternator
Charging System Conversion Kit for Kohler engine models K241, K301, K321
or K341 with a fastened down, stationary 12 volt battery. Requires flywheel
with glued-in or riveted-in ceramic magnets for the 5-1/2" diameter 15 or
20 amp output stator. This kit can be used for the above, or can be used
to convert the old-style and dysfunctional 10 amp output charging system
with replacement of a flywheel that have the charging magnets embedded in
an aluminum ring, which is commonly found on certain early model John Deere
garden tractors.
Most quality-made starter motors are designed to last the life of the engine.
Therefore, if a good starter burns up prematurely, then this means that it
has cranked the engine for too long at one time. All starters are actually
6 volt motors operating on 12 volts. This is what gives them so much torque
to crank the engine so fast and with ease. So if a starter motor is spun
too long (longer than 2 minutes), the excess voltage will burn up the wire
windings in the starter. The longer it's spun, the hotter it will get, which
causes the windings to get very hot, which causes the insulating/separating
varnish coating on the windings to melt. When the coating melts, the windings
make contact with each other and become shorted out, and you have a burned
up starter on your hands. That's why most owner's and repair manuals say
to never crank an engine longer than 2 minutes at a time without allowing
adequate time for the starter to cool before cranking it again. (If an engine
won't start within 2 minutes of cranking, then it obviously needs a major
tune-up or repair!)
Stator to Engine Block Mounting
Screws with star lock washer. Screw size: 10-24 UNC size x 3/4" length.
Do not touch the
two wire terminals or the energizing coils wire on the stator with your bare
hands while the engine is running! Electrical shock or electrocution could
result!
