I have a 1981 JD 2940. Many times when I turn the key to start it just "clicks". Has done this since I bought it 2 yrs ago and was told it has been to the local JD shop and starter has been replaced and the problem continued.
Since I aquired it, I have removed and cleaned all battery connections, grounding connections to the battery boxes, replaced the solonoid on the starter, obviously removed the starter and cleaned all grounding connections to the block, cleaned all battery post connections, charged it many times. Still most the time it just "clicks". Mostly during cold weather. Yet when this problem persists I will short across the solonoid it will crank right up. With key off of course.
Seems when after a charge it will crank. What is my next issue to correct this PITA?
Thanks
