I was driving along a few years back and didn't notice that lever vibrated rearward. Next thing I knew the tractor was 10 feet in front of me and pulling away! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the picture… do you happen to have a link for that beautiful chrome lighter that matches? You got that dash decal from redoyourhorse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,534 #6 Posted April 19 @FLtractor , the cig lighter is original, also works too. The decal I got from redoyourhorse, there are a lot of decals on there, very good quality as I’ve ordered a few times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the battery and starter wires to igntion correct? 6 ga wire for those only Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 6,690 #12 Posted April 22 (edited) Yes one on the positive side to the of the key switch to the positive side of the battery. Then one from the ground to the star generator the rest is just normal wire. Find you tractor in the manual section being at 856 will be there towards the front of the manual. It’ll have the wiring diagram. I think there’s only four wires if I remember correctly. Edited April 22 by Retired Wrencher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
