Sorry to be long winded here, but I have a problem I would love to solve so I can sleep at night! I have a backhoe that I have been plinking around on it for a year trying to start it. The problem is in the starter wiring. It's one of those things where someone wanted to store in on my property and haven't seen them for several years. I have had it running and have moved when need be. Now I can't get energy to the starter. I have had the starter checked out, replaced the solenoid, replaced the key switch, starter button, new batteries and battery cables, and now a new starter relay. I believe the wires are crossed somewhere. I tried tracing as best I could and have attached a diagram as how it is wired now. I had the numbers labeled with numbers, but left the paper in the weather one day, and that was the end of that. Plus a few other fellows have had there hand at it. If some one has a wiring diagram I would love to see it. I bought some manuals for a 510C, but I have learned the backhoe is a 510 even though it has 510C on the serial number plate. I figure it is a mid to late 1980s model. I am attaching a picture of the relay and a part I don't even know what it is. It is next to the relay. If someone knows what it is, I would like to know. Is it another relay? Also, I am attaching a diagram as how it is wired now. However, the wire in the diagram that goes from the alternator to the relay completes a circuit and sparks, so I know that is probably wrong. By the way, I don't know much about wiring if you haven't figured that out by my post.
