Home Depot and Lowe's carry both styles. Choose your poison. But I"m with you - why mess with a ballast? The wiring is pretty simple. When I bought my bulbs the box had instructions for several layouts. No biggie.

Been there, done that, ain't never going back! Love, love, love the LED bulb replacements! You need to know there are two+ kinds: Uses the original ballast. (Why? Why? Just WHY????) Does not need the ballast. Take it out. Throw it away! Uh, I mean, dispose of it responsibly. Can do...

Why round? They are a royal pain any time you want to attach something.

We have a lot of those on this forum. :D

How about taking some voltage measurements at the fuel shutoff solenoid, post them here, and maybe we can figure it out together. And while we're at it, how did you check the fuses?

A lot of small businesses have lousy websites that don't work well. It's not a place for DIY or letting your uncle's cousin twice removed do it because he once did Uncle Elmer's website.

That is a real possibility, and would certainly explain why they have not responded. I can't imagine using contact info from any place OTHER THAN the company's official website. Taking search engine results???? AI or not, that's just dumb. Information changes! /SMH/

Hmmm. The same potato? Could it have gotten some meat smell on it?

The last thing I would ever do with rust is to SEAL it. That's just giving it permission to continue to destroy your steel, and providing a nice cover so you don't see it happening. That's why I don't like powder coating. It will eventually fail, and when it does, it conceals the damage until...

Hotmail? Gmail? Bush league. Amateur hour. Garage hobby. Not serious about being a business. I'd go elsewhere.

Cables can also be bad. After you clean the negative connection, do a load test of your own. Put a meter on the starter and see what your voltage looks like when you try to crank it. You might need a helper to turn the key while you watch your meter. Let us know what you find out.

It went from cranking normally to ... nothing. That's not a bad battery. It's probably not a corroded connection. Do a load test at the starter where you have 12v. Here's why.

At that thickness you aren't looking for Amazon Chinese junk. Serious machines cost serious money. Buy quality and cry once. Buy junk and cry cry cry.

A manufacturer's engineering and cost reasons did not include our convenience.

Dunno about your tractor, but maybe these videos about a filter mod on the BX will give you some ideas.
