A few years ago my brother in law bought my sister a TT75A primarily as a raking tractor. She has liked it so well that this year he bought a Workmaster 75 for their tedder. The Workmaster has not been as reliable as the TT75A and is now down. My sister was driving it between fields and as there was traffic she used the turn signals when she was ready to turn. Instant shut down. She was able to coast off the road. Their mechanic was finally able to get it started and drove it home but that was it. He doesn't know what he did to get it to start. All fuses are okay. He has checked electrical and by pulling fuses he has checked voltage and he finds 12+ volts terminal to ground from both fuse terminals. That is odd - one side of the fuse socket should be powered up with the key on and the other should go on to complete the circuit - starter relay, light, fuel pump solenoid, etc.) and then go to ground so he should have no voltage on that side, or should he? I was over there for a birthday party today and checked the wiring quickly. I am not very impressed because there are a lot of wiring harnesses dangling meaning something easy to snag with your foot, a branch, etc., but I couldn't find any glaring problem. I found some harnesses had been pinched (see note above about dangling harnesses) but the wires were intact. Has anybody run into anything like this? Yes, it is under warranty, but the dealer is 150 miles away and there is the sticker stating to be aware warranty covers repairs and not transportation.
