hour meter hook up

[Q'man]

I just got my hour meter shipped today from nothern tool.

http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=6970&productId=41061&R=41061

After opening noticed no wires. I thought this would be easy.
After doing a search in past threads noticed a few people hooked this one up, and said the wires were there already on the tractor and just plugs in.

Where are these plugs??? Do I need to unhook something else.

My tractor is the husqvarna 22/54. I know some of you guys with the craftsman have just plugged in this meter, would imagine the wiring is the same.

Thanks

Q'man...I have the Craftsman GT5000 which is pretty similar to your 22/54...here's my set up.

They were plugged into this when I found them. I guess to keep it from shorting out.

I got the 2254xp and did notice there were a couple of extra plugs there not hooked into anything. Mine came with a hour meter so I guess I could hook up a tach or something else with those.

Argee,

Thanks to the picture I found the wires...tucked under the battery. That was a good place for them. I feel stupid now, I read how easy it was from another post. Now I know; it really does just plug in. Thanks again for the pictures.

Q'man,
Don't feel stupid. You accomplished what you set out to do did'nt ya?
Now post a pic of the finished product.

Don't feel stupid Q'man..that's part of the reason for this forum..so we can help a fellow tractor owner out.

Here's a picture of the installed meter.

Looks good Q'man, You did a fine job. :congrats:

Thanks guys. Now on to the fun stuff like the sleeve hitch.

I tried to order from sears the other day, since it was on sale.
Sleeve hitch was $99.00, but they couldn't ship to any of the local stores. It had to be sent to home address at a pretty cost of $45.00. I told the guy at the store, that's 1/2 the price of the hitch.

Does anyone know someplace else to get this hitch, or do I just need to bite the bullet on this one.

[YaleVaHere]

That doesn't sound right. I guess I got lucky. The local Sears store here had it in Stock. I had to order my Rake. I ordered it on a Saturday when I picked up the hitch and they had the Rake at the store on Monday. I'd try another sears in the area first to see if you get a different response. Is it a full size sears or a small home center?

[Argee]

I'd pitch a b!tch when you order it and maybe they'll throw in the freight. You shouldn't be penalized because the local store doesn't carry it.
