I have verified the the fusible link is good but I dont have any voltage where the link connects to the
solenoid. Got voltage from battery to solenoid.

Thanks

To me what you are saying contradicts each other. I am not familiar with the wiring on that tractor, but generally the fusible link connects to the same post on the starter as the battery cable. Then power feeds through the link to supply the other functions like the ignition switch and lights. So you say you have voltage at the solenoid from the battery then you should have power to the fusible link. If we could reference a wiring diagram it would b helpful. A picture would be very helpful. Are you posting this from a smart phone or PC? If you have a smart phone getting a picture up on here is not real difficult.
 

Does battery test good? My next thought is have you cleaned/tightened all ""4"" battery cable connections? Sometimes a battery cable will look good but have corrosion inside insulation causes loss of electricity from battery to starter.
 
I will check them out. Had a hot wire that grounded out to sheet metal that caused the problem
Got 12v going into solenoid

Thanks

The FL is connected to the solenoid with s spade tip connection. There is no voltage where the FL plugs into. It dos not connect directly to the battery connection on the solenoid
 
(quoted from post at 08:51:20 01/07/22) Output starter side

The only thing that should be on the output side of the solenoid is the starter motor. The fusible link should be on the battery supplied side.
 
It plugs in to solenoid but cant very if its outside or inside. I think I miss spoke earlier.

I will try to get a photo

Thanks
 

I am wondering if you are looking at the wire that supplies power when you turn the switch to start, to engage the solenoid, not the fusible link. Some of those starters had a spade terminal that wire plugged on to. It would be dead unless energized by turning the key. A fusible link should be a ring terminal on the same solenoid terminal as the battery cable.
 
(quoted from post at 09:27:08 01/07/22) That just might be the case. I will recheck

I looked back at all your posts on this problem. I may have missed it, but nowhere did I see that you have posted you have confirmed (by using a test light or voltmeter) that you have 12-volt power on the battery terminal of the ignition switch. If you don't have power on that terminal, you need to work backwards from there to find out where it is lost. If your tractor had a fusible link, it should be between the battery terminal of the ignition switch and the battery terminal on the solenoid (this is based on working on other systems with fusible links and without having a wiring diagram for a 5610). If there is no power to the ignition switch, make a jumper wire (with a 30 amp in-line fuse in it) and use it to power the battery terminal of the ignition switch and see what happens.
 
Just a general statement, I find that this is confusing or hard to comprehend in my mind when I am answering on electrical problems. In my mind confusing the terminals on the starter is not even a consideration, in my window it is black and white. So I count on the poster to see things exactly as I do, which of course is often NOT the case. So quite often in these situations I find myself driving right past the obvious. Same thing happened awhile back in a thread concerning a positive to negative ground swap over. Hope this makes sense to someone.
 
It is possible for the fusible link wire to visually look ok. The insulation can remain intact but the copper inside melts and separates. [u:0628bc6d8c]Feel the small wires connected to the same solenoid terminal as the cable from the battery.[/u:0628bc6d8c] If one is really soft and doesn't feel like it has any wire inside it may well be the burnt-out fusible link.

I still believe the wire at the starter with the spade terminal end is not the fusible link, but it is the wire that supplies power to the solenoid from the start terminal of the ignition switch.[u:0628bc6d8c][/u:0628bc6d8c]
 
I put 12v on the wire I thought to be FL it tested good. But I plan on digging deeper to find the issue. The
wire I thought to be FL has a coating unlike the other wires

Thank you
