Yesterday I took this photo (among others), cropped and resized it, studied
it, posted it to the web, and sent the link here to the list.

After taking a break from using the tractor and rotary mower this afternoon
(see video clip in my other post), I went back out to do some more and the
tractor wouldn't turn over, wouldn't even try, just dead.  What the heck?

So I got a voltage tester and set about trying to diagnose what was
happening, and got as far as taking the seat off and looking at the exact
same view I'd looked at and photographed yesterday.    At that point it
seemed like securely attaching the cable that jumps between the two
batteries might be a good idea.  It was.  :)

Funny that I didn't see it yesterday... wasn't looking for a problem, then,
I guess!
