[AT] Possible damage

[Mike M]

That has an electric PTO switch doesn't it, Dick? I doubt there was any 
damage, since you reacted so quickly, but I'd definitely have words with 
the dealer. This is why I do my own maintenance, not because I enjoy it, 
but I don't trust the bumble heads at the dealer to be as careful as I am.
