Neighbor came over the other day to bale my hay. He has a massey ferguson 390 cab tractor. They got 12 bales and the battery melted, got a new one. They put it in and started the tractor and the starter wouldn't stop. I unhooked the battery and it stopped. They finished baling and asked what i thought. I said if that starter had been running all that time it was shot and maybe that was what melted the battery. they had shut the tractor off so hooked the battery back up and it wouldn't start, jumped the solenoid and it started.
Question is this tractor has a neutral safety when this first happend shouldn't it have prevented the starter from running when they were driving it. and could it have caused the problem. going to go look at it today to see if I can figure it out thanks.
