    Winding ends fixings to rectifier

    Hello again. Trying to remove the rectifier I notice that the winding ends are not soldered as in all videos I've seen. They are just curled into a loop, bent flat, then screwed down.

    Takeuchi TB016 lost L.H. side controls

    Hi, I would be grateful if someone could help. As I was trying to hitch a bucket, I suddenly lost all left hand side controls. Every time I try to use the LH side lever the 10A fuse blows in the fuse box. I checked the stop (safety) switch under the Control Box and it works fine. By looking on...
