OK, about 15 years ago, I changed the ol' H over to a 12-volt system (see below if I don't muck up posting the diagram). Yesterday, the starter switch gave out -- I was getting nothing through it. Thinking that the starter switch could be the original for all I knew, I simply got another today and installed it. It worked great all day; the tractor was started 8 or 10 times and there was no problem. An hour ago, the darn thing was doing what it did before -- nuthin'. I connected the battery charger, put it on START, and tried it, thinking maybe the old battery may be giving out as well. I got sparks. I checked the battery with a meter and read 13.2 volts across the terminals, but getting nothing through the starter switch again. What's causing me to destroy starter switches?
