Greetings! While tracing down the clutch wire yesterday to put in the new key switch I found that the wire had been mashed between the clutch pedal and a bolt. It was in two pieces. Aha, thought I. This must be the elusive short. But after repairing the wire the same fuse blowing persisted. The wire probably broke since the short started and went unnoticed since I was jumping the connections at the starter to fire up the engine.
I hoked up the new starter switch and the dash worked, but the starter would not turn. Got out the multimeter and the only hot wire was the purple/green so I put that on Hot, the red on Run 1, the green on Heat and the pink on start. It got dark about this time, but when I left it the tractor started repeatedly without blowing any fuses. I think greg_g was right all along about the cheesy key switch. Thanks Greg!
Another question: Since last June when I tore into this there has been a light gauge red wire hanging loose. The connection at the end of the wire and its location make it look like it might go to the key switch. Everything seems to be working fine without it for now so I have it taped off to prevent shorts. I could proably provide more info on it whn I get a chance to look at it again. Any idea what it may be? Is there a sixth wire to the key switch? Thanks again!
