Re: (ET) E12M won't go + ghost voltage?

[tb <tbamc gbta net>]

Jack, 

Almost all my wiring looks original—with the exception of the 2 wires to 
the brake switch.  Only see one wire just cut off.  

I did find CB-1 in the manual, but don’t remember where it is on the 
tractor.  Figured someone could  save me some hunting.  :-)

Thanks

Thon
