I think I know the answer, but I am a mechanical guy and the electrics on these things baffle me...I was plowing the other day and had a screw driver in my back pocket, in order to not tear up the seat I stuck it in the hole just above the ignition switch. Just as I was pulling into the barn a giant spark flew off of the screw driver...I yank it out and continued into the barn, the tractor never missed a beat. Today went to start and nothing, no charge light, not oil light. I am guessing I smoked the ignition switch. How can I test, and how hard to swap out? The little Phillips screw is the only metal exposed for the screw driver to touch, other than the switch itself. Thanks.
