Hello all! I have never posted here before. This is my first time on this board..
My dad has a 1971 David Brown Selcto-Matic 990. It is a great tractor...
When he starts it up, you can't just turn the key and go-you have to put a screwdriver on the what he thinks is the negitive wire that is broken to get sparks to turn it over. This 'wire' thing comes out of the starter-we think it was a ground,(neg.) wire that hooked to the frame.
Like I said, this is broken, as there is no wire off of it. Do you know what this is for?
Also, on the solenoid there is a wire that comes in from the battery, I think this is a pos. wire to start it. Anyway, under where that wire comes in, there is 2 nuts-like a wire goes in there. There is nothing there though. My dad and I think that there is a wire that goes from the 2 nuts on the solenoid to the starter, then that wire goes to the frame.
