Cub electrical issue solved?

I pretend to know what I'm doing. I really don't. But I think the problem has been solved through steps I never even thought about or took.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for all your help!

I won't lie, even with my 17+ years of being an Electrician, there are times when I have to walk away from the problem, and just THINK about it.. At times it becomes one of those deals where you can't SEE the Forest because the Trees are in the way.. As I watched this video, I was not sitting here screaming for you to check your main battery terminal so, it was not clear to me either. Sending you a PM in a few minutes..

@vidman008 I would have never thought in a million years it would have been the positive cable either. You're absolutely right Ron..Sometimes you do have to just sit back and "think" about it at times.

I got your PM. Thanks again Ron!

I would have never thought to check that terminal..... send me the beer, ill drink it lol heck send me a mickeys, cant get 40's this time of year :(

@More350Power I would have never thought the main power would have been the problem either. I had power throughout the entire system. I think because the break in the wire, when you apply the power, thats what caused the voltage drop. I'm just glad it was that! LOL!! An accidental find is always a good thing.

My neighbor ended up taking the beer. But I'll send ya a Mickey's 40 if ya want man! I still have to send Luna7ick a 40...Ughhhhhh

Thanks much bud!

Good work Matt. Most all these old machines need a completely new wiring job right from the get-go. That's what I am doing right now. :)

@TheSaturnV Thanks bud! Thats why I initially decided to do a complete tear down of my Suburban. Plus, it needed to be re-done.

I'm looking forward to seeing your vids man!

@mbyr31 Suburbans are just about the most straight-forward garden tractors out there for tear down and restoration. Looking forward to your progress.

@edzgarage I've got time in it, thats for sure! But most of it is all learning. I've never been opposed to learning, even stuff you think you already know!

Thanks much Ed!
