Hello. I came in from clearing with a bush hog and ratchet rake. Pulled into the drive and turned the key off and the tractor kept running. I thought I could kill it by trying to move it while I wasn't seated, but the tractor would move. Pulled off the batt shroud and checked the back of the ign switch.
Finally it started to run rough then quit. Now the temp and gas gauge are still registering (powered). I pulled of the connector to the Ign switch and the gauges still register. I then pulled each fuse one at a time from the fuse box under the batt cover and didn't find any that controlled the gauges.
A few week ago, the battery was dead. I blamed my wife for leaving the key in it, but now I'm wondering.
Also, I dropped the fuse box cover and can't get to it. It's in front of the radiator somewhere.
other than that and losing a top link pin somewhere, the 'bota was awesome. This ratchet rake is cool for clearing trees.
Any help appreciated.
UPDATE - Found it. It was a fuse (10 amp Timer relay). I searched before I posted and found nothing, but after the post, went through the boards and found a post on page 2 with a similar problem.
