I've been trying to find a compact tractor for several years and finally picked up a 1999 L35 (TLB) in October....cheap. Previous owner had bypassed a lot of the electrical components such as key switch timer and relays. Thankfully along with the tractor came a complete VIP shop manual and parts book. To date I have reworked the wiring and replaced several cylinder seal kits. I enjoy tinkering and will probably asking questions of fellow TBNers from time to time.
