Bob S. hope your heart surgery went well and glad you started! Ron had an excellent point; something I had never given thought to. Maybe not as easy as disconnecting from the battery, but something I'll try to remember. Unless someone has tampered w/the light switch, the far left - counterclockwise - position should be 'off'. I have had problems w/points sticking/corroded after tractor(s) sit a long time.
