The starter generator is working fine, it starter right up but the light stayed on. I checked the votlage at the battery at WOT and it was jumping a bit but always over 12 volts. So I know it's charging fine.
I pulled the 646 into the shop and gave it a close look. One of the two hoses are leaking and shooting oil between the frame and the rear end. I'm going to take them off and get new ones made up at a local hydraulic shop.
The

says your always working on a tractor. I said so it's my hobby and I like it. I don't say your always working on a puzzle or playing games on your phone do I.

You're fortunate to have a shop that has the parts for the rebuild. These starter generators are almost indestructible anyway.
I chose to never mention the word hobby in the same sentence with tractors. Plus I told her one will be sold...

Well, no seat time this weekend with both tractors down. At least the grass is not growing crazy, but it needs to be cut. Had busy day yesterday and it was too hot to work in the shed.
Got a little tractor time in today. Blades sharpened on the L46 and deck ready to go back on the 448 as soon as the belt comes. The noisy bearings will have to wait. Tonight I got the mid lift hoses off and spent a little time planning out my selector valve on the 4118.
