Fill/drain plug
Bought as a "good deal" a '68 Gilson/Ward 12 HP tractor. Had to elevate to get the engine drain plug out, someone had really forced the plug in. When elevated oil was running out the transaxle, someone had left the plug out! WOW, This is really turning out to be a good deal! Found plug to fit...- Fred Swick

Fill/drain plug
The transaxle drain/fill plug is missing on older '68 - '75 Gilson Wards tractor. Does anyone know the plug size? Have some plugs but none fit.- Fred Swick

Solenoid
The plus side is OK. The other wire goes to the regulator. Do to the cramped and barely accessible area I have decided to forget the problem. It must be working OK as the battery is stays charged. My hands in places are bruised red and one would think I was on blood thinner. Thanks for all your...- Fred Swick

Solenoid
Grounded the 2nd small terminal engine starts. Amp gauge still doesn't work. It tests as being OK. One wire is connected to the battery positive side. The other amp wire must be the problem and I do not know how to bypass or what to connect this to. Any suggestions? Thanks Fred- Fred Swick

Solenoid
It is a 4 pole solenoid. I believe it is wired OK but will recheck. One small terminal on the bottom is free. Not sure what the extra terminal is for. Fred- Fred Swick

No Start
There are 4 terminals, two at top and two at bottom. The old solenoid had one on the bottom. Battery start. It went dead when I replaced the old solenoid with a new one. Did not put fiber washer back. One washer for two mounting holes didn't make sense. The top terminals are for starter and battery.- Fred Swick
