I got the 1600 all together minus the seat and the center portion of the platform. I want to start it up to check it out a little before I put the rest on, and the battery is dead. Not too dead, but dead enough I only get a click. I worked with the headlights on for a good 30-45 minutes the other night, so I must have ran it down enough to not have enough left to start.Has a new pos. cable to the starter (I switched it to neg. ground when I rebuilt it) and the ground cable looks good. I cleaned the terminals and cable ends. Still no crank.
Left the battery charger on set for desulfate (newer computerized charger) and hope it'll start tomorrow.
On another note, our 1755 will be getting loaded up to go down the road tomorrow. Had Bob Kramer from Fond Du Lac (located on hwy 23) up last weekend and he'll be coming up with his brother tomorrow morning. I've always wanted to fix it up, but between how long it's sat, that it didn't have any tires on it anymore (big $$$ to replace if rebuilding the tractor) and that we need a newer chopper more, we decided it's time to go. It'll be nice to not have to look at it every day too.
