pgenesta 13 #1 Posted March 10, 2019 Good morning to all on a snowy day. My problem is one that I've never hear about or seen posted about, so it might not familiar to most. I turn the key and NOTHING! LOL So, that's my sense of humor. History, 1979 (Kohler K181S, PF30700D), restored by me and has been fine staring and now, nothing I have reached out to the RS community in the past and your help has been tremendous. A few of you have asked me to post pictures but unfortunately all were lost due to the Blue Screen of Death Syndrome on that computer. I will take any suggestions on what to check.

BOB ELLISON 2,976 #4 Posted March 10, 2019 As the others have said ammeter and seat or pto switch. If you know that the battery is good bypass the ammeter and switchs with a jumper . Here is the electrical diagram in the manual. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/file/3442-tractor-1979-c-series-late-om-wiringpdf/?do=download 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
