> I am steve in Middle Tennessee.  I just recently drug my grandmother's

> batts, 1 tire and tinkered and off she went!  Tractor is an E16 "RA"
> model which Bill Gunn tells me means it was rebadged from a 15 to a 16
> by GE at some point.  She had a mower deck and a tiller.  Both are

> Couple of questions:

> 1. The "fuel level" meter showed practically no charge no matter what so
> I changed it out with one I got from a golf cart shop on the web...new
> one reads dead on (well you know what I mean).  The load meters is still
> running pegged to the right in even light mowing.   Is it likelt that
> meter too is off or is it more likely that its related to the fact I've
> not changed out the motor bearings yet? (I have them...just have not
> done it yet).

> 2. I keep blowing fuses on the lights.  Can someone advise me where the
> light wire goes relative to the "00" cable?

> 3. On the hunt for a Haben sickle bar mower.  I need it like a hole in
> the head but...well...you know!
