hi everybody I mostly favored john deere tractors but heard allot about the cub cadets. recently I had the chance to purchase one model # 2160 I was impress with how well it was built ( heavy duty ) anyway it was running fine until I install a new battery the wrong way positive on the negative etc-etc and as soon as I turned the key smoke came out ..everything still works except for the deck I checked the P.T.O switch with a volt meter and it seams to be alright any help would be greatly appreciated..johnny
