Re: (ET) Power Disconnect for an E12M

["MR23=Christopher Meier \(Mtka, MN, USA\)" <mr23 worldspy net>]

I received my new #OP134 power disconnect switch.
It has a phenolic board attached to the switch contact
bolts, with a third stud not connected to the switch, but
has a fusible link connecting it to a switch contact.
I haven't looked at a wiring diagram to see what is
supposed to be connected to what.  My electraks'
disconnect switch was bypassed long ago, so it may
not be clear by just looking at the tractor to find what
goes where.

Any hints?  I'm too tired tonight to look at the circuit
diagram in my service manual, it'd be nice to have
someone's input as a head start for when I install
it this weekend.

Thanks.
