I am bumping this post up to page one, because I do not seem to get any new response from page three. Really anxious to get this tractor to work.
fully charged battery. Hot started the starter with jumper cables and the starter works ok.
Checked switch out with an ohm meter, checks out ok.
Putting a voltmeter from ground to the battery terminal on the switch reads 12.4 volts.
Now when I turn the ignition switch on, the voltage drops to 7 to 8 volts both on the battery and ignition points on the switch.
I cleaned the ground on the battery cable that is connected to the steering housing. Cleaned the positive connection down on the start solenoid connection.
Tractor is converted to 12 volts with alternator and solid state ignition. The starter won't even click
I am stumped, what would cause this voltage drop? The only thing left I can think of is something is askew in the start solenoid.
