Went to the barn this morning to start the 4040 and feed, look what I found. Cord to the block heater.
Grabbed the cord and sparks flew. Thing that bothers me is why didn't the breaker trip when the cord fried.
From the looks of things she flashed pretty good. Called my JD dealer to see if they had a new block heater, nope. Can you believe that, not a block heater for a 4040. I couldn't believe it.
They did however have a new cord. I went and got it and got it on. Will go back later to see if its working.
Think I will have an electrician check out my breakers. Seems to me that it should have throwed it. $20 for a new cord.
Posting this thinking you guys might want to check yours. Might save you from losing equipment and a shed or barn from a fire.
