How about blade arm bushings, the holes in the blade arms are wallered out & the bosses are egg shape. I was thinking of just getting a set of bushings and welding them on and building up weld on the inside, any suggestions?

Thanks lavoy

Ok Duke, i will try that before i remove the alt. for testing
The key switch that i ordered from steiner is the two flat spade, two position, on/off. Said it would fit 420 jd
If there is a better one out there let me know i will pick it up.

Hi stan,
Thank you, i will do that, could the alt be draining the battery with the key in the off position? Or could it be a bad key switch?

Good morning, Ben, yes i agree, and yes ballast resistor is wired as per the schematic on yesterdays tractor web, 12 volt conversion wiring diagram. Very basic , no lights etc. i am going to change out the condenser, as it might be fried from grounding out. Also i put a new two post key switch in fr...

Thanks tigerhaze,
I will put the old one back on and see if it changes anything.

Brake cleaned & blew out with compressed air the fuel line elbow screen that threads into carb, as i was reassembling the carb on this last tear down.
