Jim, where did your power meter show when the tiller was running and NOT 
IN THE GROUND?  It should be at the bottom of the green.  I'm getting 
suspicious.  In addition, Bill told me (and since you are seeing him, you 
can ask) that the tiller should be about the same load as the deck.

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.
