TORO propass wireless remote issue

They are ten + years old.

Zip tie to hold batter cover together.  

The MH400 is the same type and condition.

Over the years we managed to strip the screws, and weld nuts out of them and drove or dropped them many times by the looks of them.

I've been soldering the wires back in place when they corrode off and sealing with silicon to keep them watertight.

Yuck is the best saying on this pic.

So, I asked if we could replace one this year and maybe do the other one another time.

They are not cheap.

I called the dealer and was sent this upgraded one, since the old style is not available anymore.

Did not come with the magnetized holder, it's a separate item that was ordered later.

 Tried to link it to our machine with no luck. 

Contacted the dealer tech and gave him all the information to later find out they are not compatible.

No one new till it was brought up.

After it was said and done, I was told you need to upgrade the base units for the (low) price of $4500.00 Canadian. 

Of course, minus the price of the remote we purchased. 

needless to say, I sent the remote back for credit.

Now I had to contact the company that makes them and they said they discontinued that product but to send them down for repair.

So will wait and see when they come back.

Just some of the daily struggles a turf tech can go through.
