Electrical

All the electrical problems I've ever had in my tractor came from mice.

Those dirty rats.

It is funny but worth considering. Look for frayed and gnawed on wires.

Hmm,,, maybe wire manufacturers could add a delectable dose of warfarin to the recipe?

That or stop using soy (food) based insulation.

That or stop using soy (food) based insulation.

Is that really what the insulation is made from? I don't have the slightest idea myself but am curious how you know.

I was aware they used soy oil in the machines that add the insulation to lube things. I was not aware the insulation was a soy based material.

"Shotgunning" will eventually fix the problem. Sooner or later you will stumble over the actual problem, in your quest to replace your tractor, one part at a time.

That's what the "technicians" at my local Chev dealership do. They just keep throwing parts at it until it's fixed. And OH by-the-way, they leave the parts in that didn't fix it and charge me for it.

Oh for the days when there were real mechanics instead of part replacers.

uh.....OK. I was buying it until I came to the end and found that "article" is actually an advertisement for undercoatings. And that their source was their manufacturing association news blurb.
Sheesh,

Its a good idea to first check your wiring
connections before buying parts.
You should always check your manual
in the problem section if you have one is
the first place to start because most of
the time all answers are there for what
you should check or where to start first!
