Bert- My Toro manual states the hour meter only adds time when someone is in the seat. It's wired thru the seat. :confused2:
Not the way I would wire it, but it is what it is.. Hour meter should ONLY read when ever engine is actually running. Like Cat* or AC etc..
Interesting, I will check my manual again, it was about 5 years ago I read that..
But after mowing in back, I drive it to the front & PTO off of course & the hours have changed in that distance, & circumstance.
