for a bit further on the problem. I got up under the backhoe and looked around and found a black wire loose on the plug for the transducers for the transmission. I have ordered the part and hope that takes care of it. I am sure this did not come out of the factory unprotected wires like this so must not be the first time this has happened. does anyone have an opinion on if this is the right fix, the plug and wiring harness was $70.18. I hope to get it in this week and get the JD running this weekend.
