This is in reference to a 47 2N, front mount dist. and overall, stock setup w/6volt system.
I believe my battery has all but expired. It's going on 3-1/2 - 4 years old and was used with the gen that came with the tractor. That gen never showed me much of anything on the gauge but that gen has been replaced and the ammeter now reads correctly. So, with a suspect battery even though it has always been on a trickle charger, it seems the starter button doesn't function anymore. I started it last evening to move it to a safer place by jumping the starter relay with a wrench. A new battery is on order but do you feel this will bring the starter button back to life? All connections are clean and tight. The starter button has worked always before once the shifter is wiggled properly into neutral
Thanks in advance,
John
