Hi All,
I'm a new WD owner. I have a pull rod type
starter switch. The other day I started the
tractor and it stalled so I pulled the rod again
to start it and the switch started sparking inside
the switch housing. And the starter will not
engage. The sparking pitted out the connections.
I have filed them down and even tried a new switch
and nothing seems to be working. I tightened the
screws up good on the switch to the starter and
that didn't help. The connection gets so hot it
starts to weld the connections while never
engaging the starter. I'm hoping I do not need a
new starter. How can I jumper the starter to see
if it will turn over. Would I jumper to the old
wiring posts? if so which one(s) anyone have a
picture to help. I do have good battery cable connections and a good ground.
