My '66 JD 3020 Diesel starter wants to turn/engage the moment the first negative battery cable touches the post. The old 24V starter began to show this symptom when the starter began running - noticed sometime after the tractor was successfully started and working. It made quite a racket as it got hotter and hotter and continued to turn. Had to disconnect the Bat cables to make it stop. Examined the situation to find the small double-yellow wires that connect the neutral safety switch to the starter had gotten tangled up in the clutch return spring under the left floor board. Bare wires were taped up and secured in the battery cable clamp where they belonged. The starter engergizing issue continued...
Thought my starter was malfunctioning, decided to finally convert to 12V instead of fixing the 24V starter. Fast forward to yesterday, made the final connection to my 24V/12V conversion and the original problem still exists in my brand newly converted start circuit!?!?
Thanks for any helpful suggestions.
