I got the EZ VAC system working today. Nice tool. I picked up all my leaves no sweat! Love this thing. The 314 is working great now. It has a charging issue though. I've ordered a new voltage regulator. I hope that's the problem and it's not the alternator.

How big is that engine on the fan? Maybe 5 HP? I have a fan housing and impeller that came from an old Jacobson mower set up I believe. I've been dreaming of doing something with it. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

'not charging' could also be 'bad' ammeter( some leak charge to ground) or a 'bad' ignition switch , again power 'leaks' off to ground due to corrosion.... seems nothing last 30-40 years any more ! ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Charlie, You are correct--5 hp B&S. If you want pics of the set up, let me know. I'd be glad to get them for you. Steve ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

Ain't that the fact! Thanks for the tips. The ammeter dives when I hit the lights and moves back to 0 after they are off. So I "think" it is okay. I pulled the ignition switch and it checks out properly. I'm hoping it's only the VR. I really don't want to pull the engine for the alternator. ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

Dave, Good to know I can still find the tubing. I was surprised that the original set I got is still quite pliant and not at all brittle. It really picked up the leaves and made a good mulch for my compost piles.

I used to have one of those throw away Ranch Kings. It had a heck of a pick up and sling for a cheap stamped deck, so I bought the attachment for the deck and the hose. Then put a bank board on my home made yard cart and went to blowin silage  .If the grass got ahead of me,I would mow it one day pick up the next. I usually don't mess with leaves cause they will blow into the field. Sometimes I mulch em to keep them from choking out what grass I have. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
