Hello.
I have a JD 140 Lawn tractor that won't start. I have never learned how to tell if the problem is the solenoid or the battery or the starter. I charged the battery, but that process was strange. Usually my charger will say "FUL" when the charging is done. That didn't happen with this battery. It would get close, then go back to 5.2 amps, then get close to 0, then back to 5.0 or so and back to 0. When I unplugged it and plugged it back in it said "FUL." But it should do that without unplugging it. It reads 12.7 volts right now though, so I assume it is OK. I cleaned all connections, and I just get a click, or several clicks in a row. One time the tractor turned over, but mostly clicks. The battery is 9 years old.
I would appreciate any help on how to tell if the problem is with the battery or solenoid. (Or starter)

If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
