Hello all. First time on this or any forum.
Problem- the starter on my MF1085 sometimes "sticks on". After starting the tractor, I can hear something high pitched and whining. Even once I turn the tractor off, the sound continues. I've had to disconnect the battery to stop it. Once, hitting the starter with a hammer stopped it.
Now, I was servicing the batteries and replacing a ground cable. Once I reattached one battery, the tractor tried to start as soon as I reconnected the ground. The starter is somehow stuck on. I'm not the most mechanically inclined but I'm keen to learn and enjoy fixing things myself if I can. I was going to replace the starter but wondered if there was a simple servicing of the starter that might fix it- lubrication or something like that. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
