dustin to35
New User
I have a 1955 MF to35 that has been running great until last week. I went to start it and it turned over twice before it just died. The starter solenoid would just click like the battery was dead. I had the battery tested and it was fine. I then attempted to start the tractor but putting jumper cables to the starter and it would do a quarter turn at the time. I took the starter off and took it to someone to test and they said it was good. I couldnt get it to crank by jumping it off either. The only way I was able to crank it was to take two jumper cables connected my truck battery and the tractor and run those to the original pos. Neg. Cables on tractor. Then it would fire right up. I replaced the starter solenoid several weeks ago and it has been running the best it has ever ran. Any ideas what might be wrong? Just seems its taking more amps to turn starter over.
