Took my starter in for a rebuild about 3 years ago and at the time the shop said it was only a bad solenoid. It has now quit again.
Cleaned and checked all cables, key switch, starter switch, neutral safety switch, the normal routine. Would make one strong click when I jumped across the large battery post to the starter post on the solenoid.
Took starter off(pain) and had it checked out at same local shop. Naturally it ran perfect on the bench tester with no dead spots so brought it home to re-install.
Emery clothed bendix end of starter and where it bolts up to the flywheel housing, re-installed on tractor and again zippo - dead, dead, dead - no chatter - nothing even when I jump at solenoid now. I have 12.78 volts at the solenoid, ignition switch and starter switch. Swapped out battery cables, again. When I turn the lights ON and try starter the lights stay full on and don't dim.
I have continuity at the neutral safety switch but there is no sign of voltage there - is that right? Anything I am overlooking or suggestions?
