starter button. Ok first off thanks for the advice about the pto shaft got a new one went right in worked great. Now what happened was after I got the fluids pto shaft back in I went out to mow the pasture about half way thru it the positive side of the battery caught fire. The problem was I think about 8 months ago I had a guy tune it up and put in a new gauge starter button and kill switch, and solenoid, the problem was when you shut the tractor down with the kill switch the electric gauge still said electric was going thru the tractor. I had one of those screw off positive connections so to kill it I just undid the connection. Now I am not sure what to do here because there isn't anybody willing to come out and work on it and I do not have a trailer large enough to haul it anyplace.
How the man hooked it up was like this, from the starter and solenoid he has a battery type cable hooked to the starter then to the solenoid, from solenoid is one red wire on top going to the starter button switch and on the other side of the solenoid one yellow and one white and the battery positive cable. The white wire goes to the starter switch and the yellow goes to the kill switch, on the gauge there is one red that goes to the starter switch and a yellow that goes to the generator plug and on that plug is a red wire that hooks to a screw on the generator. Then there is a wire going to the I assume the armature from the kill switch
With all this according to the owners manual there seems to be more wires than needed and I have called the man that did this but he has ignored me but he did not charge me for what he did. He told me then that he put the starter button where the key slot use to be because the original button was going bad but I never had a problem with it. So if anybody knows how this should be wired please let me know I am not sure if its better to try and get this right or to just buy an original type key which I assume becomes the kill switch and a new floor button.
Thanks!
