I have a MF-65 diesel, the positive battery post on the starter solenoid has a short and when I put the multimeter across it and the engine block I get 0.004 ohms of resistance. This is a brand new starter and solenoid, I installed them, cranked up the tractor ran it for about 15 seconds and then shut it down to finish some other repairs. When I went to start it again the battery was drained from the short, which led me to find the problem.
Any ideas as to what the problem in the solenoid may be?
Thanks to Chuck I have a proper wiring diagram and will run new wires on Friday, but I need to fix the solenoid as well.
