I removed it to do some other work and discovered that the top pivot was excessively worn after a short time. Keep an eye on that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually have to wiggle the harness around behind the ignition. I replaced all that circuit, was a nightmare from prior owner! Have to run that ground next thing!

peter lena 8,976 #6 Posted August 29, 2023 @Manicmacanic yes that insured grounding , from the battery ground bolt , really wakes up that amp gauge , came to that with typical erratic amperage readings . you can try it first with an alligator clip connection , made up a couple of heavier eye bolt to wire end connection , did it on test tractor , then ran it on my other 2 horses . thats how I do all of my experiments , tractors are all set up the same , so if improve an area , its east to duplicate to the others. did a similar experiment on mower deck bearings , basically lubrication failure . opened up every related bearing , re pack with a 550 degree polyurea grease , no whyining noise , smooth / quiet . did the same to the other 2 horses. pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
