Re: (ET) Re: pack not isolated from frame??
The I-5 is a GE tractor not a Wheel-Horse.
Yes the horn is button is mounted on the right, but your PTO is in
a very strange location (to me). The I-5 plugs were located very
similar to the large frame E Series tractors.
I think we need pics.
Stay Charged!
