Experience Born and raised in the midwest. Started tinkering with engines when I was about 14 on my Suzuki RM-80. I began lawn mower repair at a small hardware store. I knew absolutely nothing. I read lots of repair manuals and met an older fellow who taught me many lessons. I continued working on small engines through high school and paid my way through college working on mowers at the same hardware store. Decided to get away from the midwest and mower repair so I joined the Air Force. I repaired air traffic control electronic equipment and ended up in Hawaii where I got a part time job at Small Engine Clinic. I gained a lot of experience from the Small Engine Clinic and had a blast repairing small engines. I then took the Briggs and Stratton Master Service Technician test and earned my MST. I then traveled to Wisconsin where I attended the factory update training seminar and received formal training. I received a scholarship from the Air Force and am currently pursuing another degree.
Question Paul. I have a John Deere F525 and need to replace the positive battery cable. It looks like i need to remove the left fender to access the cable. However, I cannot seem to be able to find out what is keeping the fender on. I have removed the 2 screws at the footrest and it still binding somewhere near the gas tank. Do you know how to remove the fender? Your assistance is appreciated.
Answer Many times you have to remove both fenders as an assembly. Can you dis-connect both cable ends and slide the cable through the fender access?
If you can, tie a string string or use steel wire attached to the old cable before you pull it through the access. Once the old cable is out, attach the new cable to the string or wire and pull it back through the fender assembly.
Let me know if this helps.
Eric
