Murray 18/46

They guy that sold me this tractor told me it had a wasp nest in it and he was right.  It is cold enough that they are not active.  Maybe the nest is dead.  Don't know.

At some point I must have changed or fixed the starter, in an earlier post I talked about the starter gear not retracting.

So far I have only gotten this tractor started by jumping a battery to the starter.  I set out to figure that out today but did not get too far.  I will crank if I jumper across the relay.   But the key does not activate the relay.  The gas tank was removed to get to the switch.  The switch is out but that is as far as I got.
