[QUOTE="talons, post: 78987, member: 11335"] Hello antfarmer, Thanks for your thoughts. I can enlarge the electronic version of the manual, but things just get "blurrier" not clearer. I know the color of the wires, I have purchased a new wiring harness because all the wire colors have faded over the years behind the panel, so know which ones come from the harness, and the red from the circuit breaker, a purple from the "14v buss". I have found a lot of generic "start switch attachment" links, but so far have not found the correct one. Mostly what I have found have five terminals and letters designating which terminal is which. The switch I need is a Bobcat supplied switch that has no markings on the terminals. It has two "heavy" copper terminals and two "lightweight" non-copper ones. I have used a meter to learn the connections in each key position, but I am still not able to get a clear, concise description or photo of the attachment points with the color of wire. That is my issue. I had to rebuild the panel since they are "nla" at the local Bobcat facility and this one was pathetic. That is done, the new components are installed and wired (according to the 720 manual). The only thing I lack is an accurate schematic of the actual connections on the back of the switch - purples, red and white.
