Thank you. I am going to need all the luck I can get plus a whole lot more. Checked out the head lights and they don't work either. I was going to try to take the cowling off to see if I could find a pinched wire or something but the steering wheel has to come off first. For some reason, I didn't notice it had metal running underneath the steering column until after I had all the bolts and nuts and what not off of all the stuff that's hooked to the cowling on the rear side. I don't know how the horn cap comes off. I think they just pry off but I don't want to wreck anything trying to get it off. There is an 8 pin plug in under the hood which was unplugged from the other half. I thought maybe that's the reason the headlights don't work. So I plugged it in and noticed a little trail of smoke starting to come up from somewhere underneath that plug in so I unplugged it real fast. So as I said, I'm going to need a lot of luck and probably some money to throw at it before it's in any kind of good shape. I've been adding 80 weight oil to the transmission as the hydraulics aren't working very good. I've added a half gallon and it's still not showing on the dipstick yet. I will have to go and get some more. There is one other thing I haven't mentioned which may or may not be an issue and that's the plate which tells which model number the tractor is and has the serial number too, is gone. The out line for it is still there as are the holes where it was mounted but the plate is gone. There is another plate on the back of the tractor right behind the seat but it's either covered up by something someone put on there to hold what looks like it was one of those triangles or something else was attached to. I haven't looked yet for another plate which is supposed to be on the motor but that's the next thing I'll try to find. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe this thing was stolen at one time and someone took that identification plate off of there to keep the tractor's identity unknown. I've emailed the son of the previous owner who sold it for his dad, to ask him if the tractor was like that when he bought it. I inadvertently bought a stolen four wheeler one time and was able to get a duplicate title for it but since the titles hadn't been put into the computer system at that time, there was no way to track it. They caught up to it after I'd owned the wheeler for 3 years and to make a long story short, the wheeler was taken from me and given back to it's rightful owner. I sued the guy I bought it from but he was involved in a marijuana growing operation so I lost out to the Feds. They took everything he had so I got nothing. I don't want that to happen again. I'm not too smart about those kinds of things or maybe I'm just too trusting of a person. I like to believe people are honest but there are way too many out there who are not and just want to make a quick and easy buck. But I guess that's life whether we like it or not.
