I can't find a wiring schematic online for a JD316. Has Onan engine B43E (1986). All 3 terminals on the regulator show 12v with ign turned off. From what I could decipher by tracing wires is that the B+ lead from the back of the ign switch is always hot. It's spliced from the ign connector...

I will be using a 12" drill and going into sandy gravel type of soil. Probably about 42" deep. I never used a PHD before and have been told to run it slow. Any particular rpm's to use other then idle speed?

From reading some past posts I see many others have had foggin complaints on the i/p lens. I took mine to the dealer last week and they installed the latest anti-fog lens. Now it is much worse then my original lens was. The dealer says there are no other fixes and he would call John Deere and...

I'm in the process of trying to scoop up about 30 yds of stone from around my filled-in (Dirt) swimming pool. Looks like the previous owner had laid down some fine pea gravel first (about 4-5" thick) then laid regular sized stone over that about 6-8" thick. I've made a few passes with my box...
