    Need help identifying a specific part

    Just wanted to send a quick update. First, I REALLY appreciate all the help you guys have offered. My mom is in poor health, which drastically affects my schedule. I haven't been down to the farm for about two weeks now. I'm hoping to go tomorrow or Thursday, and I'm going to put all these...

    Thank you. I'll be down there at least twice over the next two days. Today I got there late and had to short the solenoid to crank it. Got some good work done, but I need to solve the fundamental issue.

    Need help identifying a specific part

    I apologize if it seems like I'm not giving each post due consideration. I really try to. I'm brand new to the site, and I'm not totally familiar with the format. Also, a personal matter is taking up a tremendous amount of my time. I do want everyone to know I very, very sincerely appreciate the...

    Need help identifying a specific part

    Excellent question, and to be honest...I don't know. I had poor visibility; I was frustrated; so I stuck the screwdriver on the end of the solenoid, got a spark, and the tractor started. I know that's not super wise or very scientific. A buddy of mine told me to "definitely" start by shorting...

    Thank you. Is there a schematic online that you're aware of? Also, I assume the neutral safety switch resides between the key and the solenoid? So you're suggesting bypassing the neutral safety switch directly to the solenoid?

    Went to the farm today. Tractor wouldn't turn over. So I used a large screwdriver and shorted across the solenoid lugs....it fired up instantly. I got a lot of work done. So....what does that tell us? I'm thinking the line from the key switch is bad.

    Funny you mention the solenoid. I have a Polaris 4 wheeler acting exactly the same and I traced it to a bad solenoid.

    Thank you Paul. Yes, I use a volt-meter every day in my job (IT admin). The problem I'm having is tracing the ignition/electrical path with no schematic or experience with this tractor. But I think I can follow your directions. Thank you so much.

    Need help identifying a specific part

    Thanks, Keith...and everyone who lends help to me. Let me summarize. The tractor was cranking perfectly for the last 4-5 bush-hogging and disking I'd done. I went down the other day, and it started great (without me sitting on the tractor seat). I cut for about two hours and then turned it off...

    Need help identifying a specific part

    Went down today and I couldn't get anything moving. No crank/turnover. The little red light on the left of the steering wheel didn't turn on. I took the battery out of my truck, and same result - nothing. No lights, no turnover...I tired 3 different sets of jumper cables....the voltage seems...

    Need help identifying a specific part

    I will do this as soon as I get back down there. I'm hoping to go today, but it might be Sunday. I put a trickle charge on the battery last night and it's reading 12.42v today. I tend to agree that there's something non-battery related going on, such as the position of the gears or perhaps even...
