I took an early non-comfortking Case 841 on trade a couple weeks back. Drove it onto a trailer and hauled it back to the farm, unloaded it and drove it 3 miles back to the house with no problem. Next morning I backed it out and it was running weird so I shut it off and when I tried to start it back up a few minutes later, it wouldn't even turn over. Long story short, the starter drive had gotten stuck out and it totally burnt up the starter. I had the starter rebuilt and the guy who did it suggested I go through my wiring thorougly because he suspected that since the battery was fully charged, it was likely a bad connection that caused the starter to stay engaged. So I've torn into it and have come across a component that my manual seems to identify as a circuit breaker. I can't find anywhere that I can get a replacement, and it is so corroded I can't imagine it has a good connection at all. Since this is linked directly to the starter solenoid, I'd like to replace it, but I'm not really certain what purpose it serves, so I'm not sure how to go about rigging up a modern equivalent. Does anyone know what I am referring to and what I can do to replace it?
