Well, no pics or test drive today

. I forgot that I had taken the brake band off to put on the 414-8 before last years show...oops! I have a couple others that were in need of some TLC, so I sand blasted one and J.B. welded the pad back on. Just for rust prevention's sake, I shot some paint on the outside. I took the brake wheel off and gave it a good cleaning too.
I did manage to isolate the faulty safety switch, It was the
PTO switch.
I also discovered that even if the
PTO switch had been good, it wouldn't have started with the key switch...because that was bad too. Fortunately, I had another one in the shed. it now starts and runs with the key switch

.
Maybe a test drive tomorrow
