I just purchased a barn find lowboy with a belly mower from Craigslist. I figured for $500.00, not running but complete, with good tires that I couldn't go wrong. The engine is free, but wouldn't crank over when I used a jumper battery. I took off the covers and found that it uses a starter/generator. I am not at all familiar with that setup. I know that I am going to need to at the very least rewire the tractor. I tried a jumper battery to the terminal on the gen from solenoid. It did crank over, but seemed to crank slow. Does anyone have any words of wisdom on this system? I have another cub that I use daily, but it is a 62 that uses a starter and has been converted over to 12v and a one wire alt. Thanks, Ted
