Solenoid for starter push button

What a difference two days make.

The NAPA ST542 (insulated or external ground type) 12V solenoid worked.

The starter was fine after smoking and to my relief did not continue to run after engine ignition.

The key switch was turned on, and the engine turned over. So, I switched the wire on the S and I small terminals of the solenoid.

Turned the key....no start.

Pushed starter button- motor turned over as everything should.

Thanks to everyone who helped me understand the circuit and how solenoids work (or don't work).

Next step - finding a working C3NN (later version) SOS transmission and learning to split this tractor.

I like the SOS for my work and this tractor. I don't want to give up just yet.

The beers are on me tonight. Thank you.
 
Good news Murray. I could tell you were getting really frustrated with your tractor last week. I stayed out of the later posts, as too many cooks can spoil the broth as they say.
 
Funny how its easy to get tunnel vision when confronted with multiple issues. standing in mud with swarming mosquitos and humid sweat tries the ol patience too. Stepping away for a day or two was good medicine and helped me to see and understand with clarity thanks to the help here.
