Getting around to working on the Farmall B that stopped running a while back. I am thinking an electrical problem and started at the battery. I am no mechanic but it seemed logical to start there so I gave it a good charge. In trying to see if it would turn over last night I was looking at some of the connections and noticed one of the two posts on the bottom of the upright pull-type switch was busted off. Pretty sure this could be a problem but not exactly positive.
I looked at the battery and the switch and the starter and it looks to me like the battery goes direct to the starter and that as long as the battery is hooked good to the starter and has a good ground the starter should work. Am I right or will the starter not crank with a bad switch?
I guess my question is....what exactly is the purpose of the switch? Thanks guys!
