:roll: About a week ago I tried to start my trusty 584 IH and absolutely nothing happened. It was dead. I figured Battery. I put a fluke on it and crossed 13 volts dc. Next I looked at the starter motor. All the wiring ends were roasted. I figured bad starter. It was only 3 weeks installed. I took it out and carried it to Berger Electric near Salem, Ohio. It tested out all okay. I Then figured it was an ignition switch that did not spring back when I started it the day before and it had run in the on position causing a short. I ordered another switch. While I was doing all this I removed the six post switch from the tractor and looked for some sort of electrical burn. All was very clean. When I got the new switch from YT's I figured it would have an electrical diagram showing the color code for installing the new switch. WRONG. I checked the IH manual and found the schematic for my tractor. I tried to figure it out but still nothing happened. I need to know the color code for the 584 with flat fenders and an external voltage regulator. Also If anyone can suggest why after trying a couple different wiring patterns nothing is happening. Its basically still in the same (nothing spot) where I started.I tried to cross a screw driver from the solenoid to the positive bolt the first day on the starter, nothing. I figure voltage regulator or I need an actual visual of another 584 color wiring of the of the key switch.I have not tried to jump start it with the new end wiring fitting and new switch yet. Any help would be deeply appreciated. I have logs on the ground and need to move them to a dock in my woods. Thanks, Jerry :roll:
