Hi guys!
I've been following some of the archived threads here for guidance in switching my old Farmall Cub Lo-Boy to a 12 V system with a 10SI alternator using the attached
diagram.
Everything has gone just fine, got the alternator mounted well, belts on, all wires run, and then I figured I should test the starter out to see if I could get it to
turn over. Pulled the ignition switch and the new "charging" or warning light came on (good). Then hit the starter. Nothing at all. Pulled the starting switch
apart about four times and thought maybe I had it just a little off somehow, but couldn't get any response. So I removed the starter switch and tried simply
connecting the (now positive) battery cable (that was connected to the switch) to the contact on the starter (normally under the switch) to see if it would turn over
that way.
"CLICK." (No crank.) And the charging light died. Now I don't get the charging light on at all and it seems even deader than before.
I've gone over the diagram about 17 times and I can't figure out what I've got wrong. Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
