Tractor is a Ford 4000, 4 cylinder gasoline, with a 6 volt system. I assumed it was the solenoid at first, and it very well might be, but what it's doing makes no sense to me.
The battery is fully charged, and holds up when I put a load tester on it. When I hook it up to the tractor and try to crank it, nothing happens. Put the load tester on it with it still hooked up, and the needle drops to dead when I push the load button.
Of note, several months back I rebuilt the generator, with some tips from the people here that helped alot. Had to leave the tractor sitting longer than I wanted when I found an oil leak and needed to wait a while to get the gaskets I needed to repair it. If anyone needs to know anything else I'll be glad to help, I'm in a right state needing it running to haul some fallen branches off. Thank you for your time.
