Supper C starter

Thanks for all the help and advice.

Only caution I'd toss in is to disconnect your ground before removing the hot cable from the battery to the starter hot post. That's just to avoid some major spitzensparkin, fuzenblowin, framenweldin, batteryblowinuppinshort if the hot cable should ground out. The ground cable on the SuperC is short and dependin' on what you have for a riggin' it can be a pain in the neck. Mine is such that I take the ground cable off both ends, batt and chassis, to make sure it can't possibly connect.

Scotty It wouldn't be the first time I was wrong or that I had the only odd ball made but mine has two screws one on the outside away from the tractor and one on the inside next to the tractor and the one next to the tractor is the one I can't get at. I will check and see if one is loose and the switch is moving. It would have taken me a while to think of that, probable after I replaced the switch, tomorrow if I can find one local. (I think the switch is bad) Things like this all ways happens when I get my self in a short deadline going to a show. But that is better than when I'm headed to the field I guess. Thanks for the ideas. Larry

Is your switch gold-colored (corroded or not) with rounded shoulders, or more like cast aluminum with sharp shoulders in the castings? Does it by chance spark around the switch or where the pull rod passes through the guide?

I had one of the old, sharp-edged(?) switched where the paper insulator inside broke into pieces and would short. Replacing it with one of the newer, round-shouldered, gold-colored types fixed the problem.
