Well today I finally got working on a 446 that I picked up this spring. I knew it had the wrong ignition switch and solenoid on it and I had ordered new ones. Also saw the harness had gotten awful hot, probably due to no fuse anywhere and the cigarette lighter that was installed. Well I then found out the amp gauge was just sitting in the hole and not connected, upon further investigation I couldn't see any wires to connect it to. So I drained the oil and removed the reservoir, never did this before so it was quit a learning experience. Well got the tank out and discovered that the PO had cut the wire from the netrual start switch and the PTO safety switch was broken and had no wiring going to it. I was lucky and had one from a parts tractor. Installed a voltage meter, (I am not a restorer) I got the electrical done and then fought with tank, worse part was trying to position the clamps so you could get a wrench on them .
My questions are:
1) Does everybody have as much fun as I did, removing and installing the tank?
2) Is what the PO did a criminal offense?
:facepalm: :headscratcher: :sidelaugh:
