Out on a Magnum this morning. First thing it took five minutes to figure out I had to push that rubber plug to open the hood. I had forgotten the trick. Starter would try but could not turn engine. Put load tester on and had plenty of capacity to the starter. Hooked volt meter between starter frame and tractor frame. Meter read 6 volts when trying the starter. Hooked a jumper cable between starter frame and tractor frame, starts right up.

Stupid place to put a ground strap where you cannot readily access it.

I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
