2015 JD 7500-8800 phantom shutting down.

 Good old trusty #2 unit that I use to mow the front #9 fairwys this time of year in the wee hours . 

This time of year with the kids going back to school where left a lttle short staffed so I chip in to give them some extra time .


Their serving us well here.
I'd buy them again.
Now on to the issue.
Random shutting down,then would go just fine then die again . 
Had a brake switch go a while back on one of them so figured maybe the same.
Clean the brake switch connection and tested ok. Terminals where pretty corroded.
I knew it was either that or the seat switch. 
Unplugged the seat switch and test pretty high on the ohms reading so proceded to remove the seat .


Was kind of expecting the old type switch for some reason. Thats what it showed on the PDF file . 


 A ha there you are.

Simple repair.

Just spliced in a new wire and re loomed for protection . 

All good now.
