Hi Guys- I picked up an old Bolens 1050 the other day (freebie!!!!! ) They are a pretty solidly build tractor – I like the adjustable posi-traction rear set up. Anyway Im going to spruce it up and use if for field mowing around the farm unitl I have time for a complete tear down to restore her.. It has a Wisconsin model TRA 100 engine that the prior owner said ran “ok”. The starter solenoid is shot (broken) and the regulator is also snapped off its mounting. Don’t know if the starter/generator works yet. Same goes for the coil. As Im looking it over I see that this particular model Wisconsin has a slot on the flywheel shroud that would allow one to use a rope to pull start the engine if you take the belt from the starter/generator off. I gave if a few pulls and she turns over fine and has compression (no spark was visible on the tester I installed between the plug and coil). So my question: Is it possible to bypass the “battery starter system” so that I can just pull start her to see if it will run? If so how do you do it? Any insight is appreciated. dave

You can pull start them and they run without using the starter. If you have battery ignition, you'll need a battery supply that. They'll run quite a while before the battery is dead, just don't use the headlights, that drains it faster.

If you have magento ignition, you don't need the battery at all.
I used to pull start my 1254 all the time until I got the starter rebuilt. Mine has electronic ignition.
