I've been having issues over the past year or so with no cranking when the key is turned. As I've commented in a previous thread. Key switch cleaned then finally replaced and still have intermittent issues. Tractor always shedded. I had a friend suggest to tap the relays under the hood and sure enough that seems to help on the occasion that she doesn't crank, which is 25% of the time. However I've noticed that during the warmer weather, Spring and now Summer, there is never an issue. Turn the key through it's detents and tractor fires right up, Bob's your Uncle. The blue relays, 2 of them (T4180-69961), are situated on the firewall and I'm thinking about changing them. The dealer wants $35 each but told me to search Amazon for cheap knockoffs. I haven't taken the OEMs off to get a closer look but they are 5-pin 30/20A. Are these open circuit or closed circuit type? Would someone have a link on Amazon or similar site for the correct ones? Thanks for any help, Dutchy
