- John Deere Model 40
I have a John Deere Model 40 that hasn't been started for over 30 years. I have replaced all distrb components and rebuilt carb. I connected the battery and when I turn the ignition switch to start the charge gauge pins instantly to dicharge and the fuse blows. I have taken the switch out and taken it apart and there is no obvious problem. I took the cover off the regulator and saw no obvious problem there either. I cleaned both and tried again with the same result. I bought a new regulator and the same thing. I am baffled why this is happening. I'm hoping someone can help or suggest a next step. The harness look ok and the only other thing I haven't checked is there is a low level oil switch, at least I think that is what it is.
Thanks for any help.
