Update; yesterday eve I decided to cut our backyard thinking the battery would last that long. It started, the charge light came on with the pto, remained on for seconds, then flickered and went out. Because of that, I cut the backyard then the front which is about an acre, no problem, Today my wife got it to cut out back; no light and no problem. To give you an idea of the mower, it's a 2001, always shed kept with only 287 hrs meaning it isn't a rust bucket left out in the rain and such. It still looks like new down to the nuts/bolts except for a few scrapes on the plastic. Not to say it can't have issues, just saying it's been taken care of and used mainly to "cut in" the yard then I use a 6' finishing mower. I've checked all the ground connections and none are rusted but I did loosen, check for rust and re-tightened the bolts. The light still came on with the pto but why it suddenly went out I dunno. I'm after a JD wiring schematic now because since I didn't actually find/fix anything, surely it'll return. Lastly, the headlights still don't work but that I can live with as opposed to the charging light being on. Thanks to all for the thoughts/ideas/suggestions; they were appreciated. :)

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
