Thank you, Dave. It is a bit frustrating, I trusted he knew his stuff having been a diesel mechanic and machinist for so many years. And I paid him $400 for the machine (originally was to be $1000 for the working mower).

Know anybody that wants a 12' wide, 7-gang reel mower?

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
