I have a neighbors max 6x6 and it has a couple problems. First off it runs, seems to run fine, but it wont shut off.. im assuming maybe the ground lead is staying grounded to keep it running? Ive put a new switch in it and also tried putting both coils on it. Second problem.. The transmission.. It goes in to Reverse with no problem, but, trying to go in foreward it used to work ok when i first got it in my shop but now it wont engage it just tries to grind and not go in. Any help would be appreciated

not shutting down,,,,, 1st-- recheck the grounds. do a check to make sure there are no shorts in the line. the problem is not that its staying ground but that it is not grounded. transmission grinding, not shifting in forward gear,,,,, 1st-- check the rpm's, if the rpm's are too high, there will be grinding and will be hard to shift. 2nd-- readjust the transmission bands,,, poor driving and normal wear and tear will wear down the bands. I will start there. easy to do and don't cost a thing to do. Other members on the site will have more detail info just incase my advise doesn't help you. Hope you figure it all out!!

For not shutting off, if it is a Briggs motor, you may have diodes that are bad/fried. They are located near the ignition coils. Each coil has a small black wire coming from it and it contains the diodes soldered inline. You should be able to unplug that wire and examine the diodes to check. One or both could be fried.

Originally posted by Hogneck View PostWhat are the reason for the diodes Mike? So as not to burn up coils when grounding out to kill spark? Could a person just connect a kill switch to ground with out diodes on these Briggs?1983 Hustler 945-HK 627cc Vanguard

yea fred we have learned about grounds a time or two huh? But back to the T-20 shift problem, if it is going in one gear fine and not the other, there could be dirt,grim, or something in the way of the shifter. Remove the shifters from both side and clean(replace O-Ring too since you have it out), next make sure the nipple that sits in the slot inside the T-20 isn't grinded down. Last Oct at Busco I saw that dirt can get down in those shifters and clog them up to the point they jam up and won't move.Hold My B..R and Watch This!!!
