Apologies if this has been covered before, but figured Id just ask before searching through 5000 threads.
My 1951 had a lot of shoddy wiring when I acquired it, so I wanted to get stuff replaced. New solenoid, coil, wiring harness, starter button (which had been bypassed), plugs, plug wires, ignition, terminal block, etc. Used what I considered to be the closest 12v conversion wiring diagram to what I have. When I turned on the ignition key, the ammeter moved positive like I believe it is supposed to, but no turn over with the starter button. Since the tractor is not located at my house, my question is does the clutch have to be depressed on the 1951 to allow starting? I had the shifter in neutral, but it didnt dawn on me that the clutch might allow the starter connection. Thanks in advance.
