thanks ted. yes everything works, even the dash lights. but the gauges are dead. i'll check for the fusable link you mentioned. thanks for the tip.

i had one of those days when nothing seemed to work. my lawnmower died, then i had to jump off my tractor, then the gauges wouldn't work. i knew the tractor was low on fuel so i dared not run it long.
