How To Get to Hood To Latch With the Motor Unplugged?
So my reversing switch is bad and I can't find a new one. I read some old threads were people said they unplugged their motor, put it in the lowered position and simply shut the hood and they drive like that.
Probably is, I can only get the hood to latch in the up position. In the lower position, when I bolt it up, it won't catch. It's almost like it's too low. Is there any trick to this? I can't seem to get the motor to stay in between. It's either one or the other.
