The oft parroted advice against 'over-potting' is usually issued by those who take for granted that you're using an excessively water-retentive soil and/or don't understand soil/water relationships. If they DO understand that relationship and DON'T take anything for granted, the advice will be qualified with the recognition that as your soil's drainage characteristics and aeration increase, the spectre of 'over-potting disappears. Over-potting needs to be guarded against only when using water retentive soils that support significant amounts of perched water (the water that stays in the pot AFTER it stops draining and causes that soggy layer of soil at the pot's bottom). When using soils that support little or no perched water, it becomes virtually impossible to over-pot. Using these types of soils allows you to achieve superlative growth and vitality, even if you pot very small plants in large soil volumes. This is a pivotal issue when it comes to consistently maintaining plants that grow well & in good vitality, so please ask if you want more information. Your plant would appreciate the free-draining and well aerated soil I described, that allows you to flush the soil with copious volumes of water at every watering w/o accompanying concern for root (rot) issues or impaired root function due to a saturated soil. It wants VERY bright but indirect light. Let the soil become quite, but not completely dry between waterings. Fertilize frequently but weakly with a fertilizer in a 2:1:2 or 3:1:2 (more commonly found) RATIO. Ratios are different than NPK %s. 24-8-16, 12-4-8, and 9-3-6 are all commonly used 3:1:2 RATIO fertilizers. Keep the plant warm. It will grow best at somewhere near 70*. Below 60 is too cool and above 80 is too warm for best growth. R-humidity higher than 40-45% would be helpful, but misting does nothing to improve humidity beyond the 5 minutes it takes the mist to dry. Al

To the OP. Maybe the philosophy is that with no mowing deck, it is no longer a mower and doesn't require the safety switches. Still, you may want to run through the what ifs in your mind and be sure that is the right choice. Seat switches are even a great tool as if you should fall off, the tractor will at least stop, not keep going and do damage to something else. Onward to your project: You could use a variety of switches to crank, shut off and run the headlights- but you could really do that with one switch. If you will be rewiring it anyways, just the cheapest ignition switch that would replace what you have would work. Some switches have a light function in them. It would be a cleaner install. Don't forget the fuse in the wire that travels from the solenoid to the + on the switch. JRJ- unsure why you didn't start your own thread , but it sounds like you have a problem with the seat switch or the wiring. Please start a new thread should you need more help.

Great story! At least, he didn't decide to change his name to "Adam", the only human who was never a fetus, according to the story of the origin of everything, in Genesis! The Hebrews loved a good story, that was play on words. The word "ad-em-ah" in Hebrew was "dust" ... and someone said that God took some "ad-em-ah", "dust", blew some of His/(Her) breath into it, and it began breathing, and S/He called it "Ad-am" ... which carries a parallel meaning of "Mankind" ... or a person called "Adam": the first man. ole joyful

Dan, you sound like my DH (dear husband). He’s more interested in how things function, what they are made of and how they are put together. I’m grateful for that and our choices have been guided by his ability to research and comprehend : ) We have the Fisher Paykel DD24DHTI9N model, just the one. The top drawer is taller than the bottom. The dishwasher was the last appliance we chose, and for me, the most difficult. I was leaning toward Miele until I started reading issues with them here on GW/Houzz. Which lead me to Bosch. I could not commit as it was a bit smaller than our Kitchenaide, and I'd finally gone beyond the rabbit hole and was proceeding to Dante’s 9 circles of $ell. This will be lengthy, but I’ll take you through the thought process and why I love my FP. I had a large Kitchenaide DW prior. It’s just DH and I, but I cook a lot – and many of my items are large (stock pots, et al). And I can be messy. And I use more pots and pans than any normal person should, every single day. So a lot of handwashing, which we both hate. DH found the FP drawers first and my initial thought was NO! Finally, I packed 3 large boxes of pots, pans, dishes, glasses, and whatnots and took them to the appliance store. Loaded the FP, without folding tines, adjusting anything, or removing removable tines. I was pleasantly surprised (and apparently the only person to ever bring in their cookware and dishes to that appliance store, so they use me as an example when customers ask about the drawers). I measured everything as well. Home again I loaded the Kitchenaide, and it wouldn’t hold as much as the 2 DD’s. I’m not kidding, but then again, perhaps my items differ from others. The one rack I knew I would not use in either the Miele or Bosch were the top, 3rd silverware racks. I am not patient enough to place each utensil in a slot and didn’t want to just ‘lay them in’ as I knew any spoon left upright would have a puddle inside. I prefer baskets. Everything comes out nice and dry. I hate unloading the DW as well. Abhor it. As I used my pots/pans almost daily, they didn’t get loaded into the Kitchenaide, and by the time we did fill it with other items a week would pass, and it’d take me forever to unload the darn thing. Present Day: We load the FP daily with everything (yes, they are quiet!). I primarily use the upper drawer as it’s easier and larger, and as you have one, you know how lovely it is not to have to lean so far over to place and retrieve items. Since it’s a smaller daily load, it takes minutes to unload and put items away. We run the lower drawer once weekly to keep it ‘alive’. I love that the tines are completely adjustable, those that aren’t are easily removed to make way for large pots. EDITED TO CORRECT: All the tines are adjustable (narrow to wide spacing, and the other two rows fold down, and one row is also removable). My teppanyaki and large griddle fit snugly, but fit, and if there is flow-over into the bottom drawer, no problem, we just run that one too. Life is far better in our household with the FP Double DD’s. I’ve read, over and over, in trusted posts and sites, the FP’s won’t give you issues if you have them installed correctly. DH installed ours. Love the knock to pause feature (works at any point in the cycles), and I love the way they look – less dishwasher-y. In short, I love the DD's because the top drawer is so easy to load/unload (the bottom drawer is not hard to load), we put everything in them, daily, therefore less handwashing, faster unloading. I'm limber but my back is hugely appreciative for the top drawer. Cleaning and drying is wonderful, they are quiet, they are incredibly adjustable, and they don't look like a dishwasher. And you probably wish I'd only typed that last paragraph : ) Good luck with your choices!
