I tried to post yesterday but I must of not hit submit.
8N tractor started a few weeks back. Went out to start it and would hardly crank over. Charged the battery but no help. I changed out the battery with a new one just to make sure. Still tractor turns over very slow and sometimes not at all. Once in a while the solenoid will just click and other times nothing. One footnote: last year I had to tap on starter a couple of times to get it to turn over but then the rest of the year did not have to do anything.
Things that I have done.
1. changed battery
2. checked neg. cable to make sure had good ground and no rust.
3. pulled solenoid off and going to try a new one.
4. Tried to look at wiring and all looks ok.
5. Lights on battery our strong even when battery won't crank tractor over.
Stumped. Any ideas would be great. Thanks in advance.
