In Reply to: Starter solenoid help posted by Dralon on January 23, 2016 at 17:27:41:
When you initially hooked it up and connected the battery, if it did not try starting on its own indicates the circuit to energize the solenoid was open.
You turned the key and the solenoid pulled in and enabled starting, this indicates your wring hook up was sufficient to provide power from the key to the solenoid.
You said it got really hot.
Only two things that can cause this:
1-Key not returning which resulted in continuous flow of current through the coil in the solenoid leading to melt down.
2-Contacts in solenoid welded themselves together due to a high amp draw that will result when attempting to start with a low battery.
Both of these would have resulted in your starter running for the hour you left it, if this did not toast your starter completely it was probably the equivalent wear of starting the engine 600-700 times.
A third possibility is a mechanical jam caused when the solenoid was attached to the fork, maybe something you did incorrectly or maybe a manufacturing flaw; burr, ding etc.
This as well would have resulted in the starter remaining engaged.
Do you by chance recall a high pitched noise coming from the engine that is not normally there?

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony.
