Just bought a D17 that was my FIL's - first Allis I've ever owned. Son drove it off the trailer and "tried" to turn the lights on as we got home at 9:00. Absolutely nothing turned on and he shut off the switch (simple push pull switch). This afternoon we had to move it again and turned the key and hit the starter - and nothing. Put battery charger on for a couple hours and it fired up. This thing had been sitting in a shed and started occasionally and never had a battery issue (until I owned it naturally). I am assuming the light switch may be the culprit. Can I remove the fuse in the dash to keep power from the lights and other items that might drain the battery?
I know I need to break out the manual and its on order.
