[AT] Tractor Engine Won't Start

[Mark Greer]

Ted,
I have a 140 also. I have never been able to figure out exactly how/where
the factory attached/routed  the negative battery cable. Mine is/was cobbled
on by the previous owner. Any chance you could email a picture or two of how
yours is set up?
Mark
