Man, the previous work on this vehicle is starting to annoy me. I ended up adding 3.5 quarts of fluid to the left transmission, and while the transmission was giving forward movement, the warning light would not go out. So I removed the sending unit, added a gauge, and on start up, and at idle, the transmission was reading almost 90 psi. Nothing wrong with that. That's when I noticed that even though the wire was disconnected, the warning light was still on. It turns out that on top of two wrong (and different) pressure switches being initially installed, with one of those on the wrong port, they had wired the two wires to the wrong transmissions. Well, except for the wires they left hanging, but process of elimination kind of dictated where they were going.

Had I started both engines at the same time, everything would have looked fine.

Anyway, I switched the two wires from left to right, and all is well.

I am going to close up the access panels, re-install the ammo bin, and worry about the wires on the engine next week. I think I have had enough Stuart tank for one week....it's time to let all the bruised legs heal for the weekend.
