Gil,  my thoughts were about the same.  I figure the old guy took
the cable off every time he parked her in the barn and stuck it
back on when he wanted to start the machine and just forgot to
tell Dean.  Kind of a poor mans battery disconnect switch.

Ralph; Your reply made it to Central Missouri just fine although it did come 
in after Janice and John's comment. I guess everyone is looking at the John 
Deere 620 battery box and wondering who installed those batteries and 
cables. After I looked the second time I could see the short cable was not 
tight on either end as well as being on the wrong Posts for a 12 Volt set 
up. At this point I am assuming that a 620 John Deere should be 12 volt. I 
am thinking the battery cables were disconnected for long term storage and 
the guy who put it up for sale made an error in the connections.

I am guessing my reply never made it to the forum?

Since my fields are ranging from flooded to saturated and I can't get
out with the sprayer I have had more time on the net. It is the worst I
have ever seen. I have a 3 mile detour to get to town as my south exit
washed right out Sunday night. I thought the north one was going out too
but the rain stopped in time and the culvert was able to bring the level
down so it did not wash over the road any more. My yard is fine but
access to my grandfather's farm is through water. Thank goodness I got
the last grain out of there a few weeks ago. Not sure what will happen
for harvest but hoping the water goes way down.
All our excess water here runs south to the Qu'appelle valley and it
takes a few days before downstream feels the full force of it. Water
levels on the lakes are rising and there is going to be trouble there.
Here is a first hand view of the conditions around me as it appeared
Monday morning when I was out in the rain.
