Re: (ET) Power Disconnect for an E12M

    My E15's switch did fail.  I then removed two different switches from
non running tractors, and they were both bad.  I started swapping parts to
build one good one, and none of the parts were good enough.  Bill gunn's 
new
style was the right choice.  I'll replace any old style leftovers with the
new style from now on.
