DEAD!

[Cherokee140]

Ours was a 68 with the more square fenders, but lots better seat. I know the pto had an interlock. The first day we had it we tried to mow grass about 3 feet deep. My sister was driving and she thought she wrecked it because it wouldn't start again.
We always parked it with the clutch/brake locked down, so it was a long time before we knew it had the clutch interlock.

I don't doubt it for a second. Machine had like 10hp....now we seem to think unless it has 20+hp it can not do a darn thing......So many people are hung on how big stuff is when you really just don't need that much.....Seems I remember reading that somewhere :laughing:

Same question where did you see the spark at?

Not holding a charge and when you replaced the ground with a new one,
and got a big spark, tells me,,....
you had a short to ground, draining your battery, you just made it worse by replacing a new ground cable,
find the short and you should be ok afterwards.
Look where you seen the spark, you should see a burned or broken wire.

You would think it would almost have to be a light or permissive or suh ey??
