IH 66 series tractor

[kennell]

Happy New Year everyone.
I'm wanting to add a kill switch to my open station 766. I hate to have to drill a hole in my sheet metal, but i'd rather drill a hole than have my tractor and shed burn.
I'd like to have everyone's idea of where would be the best location for a kill switch? I was thinking of putting it in the sheet metal between the battery and the serial tag location, but i'm open to better ideas? Thanks Kent

If you are refering to a battery Disconnect, why not put a bracket near the battery box and there might not need to be a hole made where it will show. Jim

A friend of mine had a 1 ton truck start, in gear, run into the rear of the shed and spun the tires until something got so hot it burned. a battery disconnect probably would have prevented this. Also, my experience with tractors etc that sit for extended periods with out running, indicates the battery will not run down as quick, if it is disconnected.
