Hi Bob I'd personally start with looking at it properly like The op did in the end for a proper diagnosis if i got chance to see it. As we both know there are many parts get thrown at projects from comments made by guys on this very forum,and some others to in the world that want a cheap fix without paying for a mechanic. I know a guy had a charge issue with a tractor.

The town parts guy told him change the alternator, he did that and still nothing. next they changed 2 battery's guess what!. I happened to know this guy as a customer from a few years before. But he didn't want to pay me or anybody to fix it, trying to be cheap so he never called anyone other than the parts guy that was wildly way off guessing with no diagnosis.

I was in town for parts and listening to the guy and this problem. I just said yeah thats a black wire in a 4 pin plug in the dash melted and thats whats wrong.I called there on the way home went right to the plug, rejoined the bad wire. guess what it fired up and charged!. the guy spent $500 on stuff he never needed.

He asked what that fix cost I said nothing you're already $500 in a hole you didn't need to dig, just call me next time you are thinking about chucking parts at a job, it might be cheaper in the end. I have been out there at least twice more for problems he spent money on and didn't fix himself. I just smile now when I print his bill out, say thank you when he pays it,and shake my head on the way to the bank.
Regards Robert

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
