Re: (ET) My First Mow Job

[Garry & Terry Freese <gtlight vol com>]

I hard wire a heavy duty plastic twist type fuse holder to the wires that 
normally hold the fuse, and put the appropriate amp fuse in it. The control 
fuse seems to be the main problem, but I do all 3 fuse holders.
The other weak spot is the Main power switch on your left side. Bill sells 
a much heavier version and worth every penny.
I still have a lot of extra parts and tractors, Need the room.
