I used stainless too, same method although the nut is welded to the bottom of the frame so no opportunity for a bottom washer.

I installed a new cable and...success! Thanks for the help. When I opened up the cable it didn’t look corroded at all. I suppose the connection between the frame and the cable was corroded enough to be the problem. Either way, it’s all cleaned up with a new cable, a freshly tapped and sanded...

I’ll pick one up this morning and try it out. Thanks!

I checked the hst switch, cleaned positive and negative terminals at the battery, tried to clean the negative terminal at the connection to the frame but snapped the bolt. I drilled a new hole and reconnected but still no juice. Initially, the negative battery terminal was loose at the battery...

Hello everyone, First off, thank you to everyone who keeps this forum going. I've been lurking for a couple weeks now and am very grateful to all who have shared their experience. I recently purchased an L3800 with 350 hours from a dealer in Upstate NY. It was priced with a backhoe and fel...
