I was working the tractor hard this morning using the PTO chipper. Shut it down to clean the chipper discharge chute and when I attempted a restart, was confronted with a no start, no dash lights, no fuel gauge - instrument panel dead. Battery is good, fuses are good. I have a Murray electrical schematic, it looks like either the voltage regulator or the ignition switch is bad. Gut feel, I suspect the ignition switch. What is the trick to removing the ignition switch? I unscrewed the knob on the switch but could not easily push it through the dasn panel. I did not want to "bugger up" the black pressed board thing around the switch and could not see behind it to see if a snap ring or other retainer must be removed. Until today, that tractor has performed reliably and flawlessly. Any help will be appreciated. I still have a lot of work for that little machine.
