    Head Lights not working

    Star Tech ... thanks. Looks like what I have is possibly an early model (2011) with the last digit omitted. It has to be your #1 diagram for the 88810 schem. The others are different, (one is a 19 HP as opposed to my 17.5 HP, and the wiring is different on the other two. Can't thank you...
