(ET) tiller plug and cord.

["goodguyforsure" <goodguyforsure hotmail com>]

Tilling today and tiller quit. I thought maybe the overload shut it down.
This surprized me since I had been careful to keep power use down in 
yellow.
I went to check to see if mower would run. Tiller plug was hot! Took it
apart and one of the screws was stripped making a loose connection.  Now 
the
question. The cord says standard stove cord, 2-#6 and 1#3. The #3 wire is
the stripped one, of course.  Is this the proper cord and can I swap the #6
for the number 3? The blades in the plug are interchangeable, so since I
only need to wires, any problem here?
Thanks
John Briese
btw, am picking up a complete new deck from Bill Gunn on tuesday. Can't
wait.
