How many times have I read on electrical problem queries on this site: "did you check the ground wire/cable"
so you know where this is going.
1948 Farmall super av, last year I put a flat braided stainless ground cable on the transmission top plate when I replaced the battery box.
This Spring the tractor wouldn't start, weeds coming up in the peas. still had lights. Meter says plenty of juice to the starter.

Wiggle the ground cable, seems OK. Replace the on-off switch (not remembering the lights are not part of that circuit), no change. Then I hear a sparking noise from near the ground cable. No can't be that, its a brand new cable. But yes, the tractor end of the ground cable was not making good contact. I put the original starter switch back on.
