The machine was throttled down pretty low, so it wasn't running too loudly. There is a JD dealer in town, as well as a tech that makes house calls that was recommended by the seller, which is a little used equipment/ATV dealer in town. I'd be willing to bet he isn't gonna offer too much assistance with the matter, although I'll be checking with him tomorrow for sure. As with any vehicle (or anything with an engine) that I buy, I'm already looking for a good service manual. I hoped to find one accessible online, but could only come up with a few different ones on ebay (varying lengths and prices). Any recommendations on that? And because I'm not going to be able to sleep with this thing sitting outside needing some attention, I just went out and checked out how the cab flips up. Looks pretty straightforward. So is there a way to raise the boom manually? I don't have any other equipment like a forklift or anything readily available at the ranch to lift it with, but it looks like raising the cab should give me pretty good access to start diagnosing the starter and and solenoid tomorrow. We shall see! Any special instructions for raising the cab? I'm guessing it's also a pretty simple ignition switch and not something I need to worry about getting a dealer part for a replacement. I'm going to pull the panel off in the morning and check it out. Surely I can find a suitable replacement at Tractor Supply.</p></blockquote><p></p>
