Hey guys, had another thread called "m59 won't drive". Thought we had the problem traced down to a corroded switch on the turtle-rabbit lever on the steering column. Well, backed the machine off the trailer at no site this morning and it died again. Much easier fix this time. The key stop fuse was blown and replaced that and got it working. However I did get the same mechanic involved to try and trace down the problem. He deduced that it must be moisture in the solenoid electrical connection causing our problem. He unplugged it and sprayed some kind of oil on it to combat the moisture and we believe this will take care of it. Just real glad to have a working machine. Figured it let y'all know about what happened.
