Several things to look at here. A starter mounted solenoid takes about 30 amps to pull it. The wire that energizes it goes from the battery to the starter switch and then back to the solenoid. It will still show an amperage draw in energizing the electromagnet in the solenoid, but, it won't pull the plunger. On racecars, big trucks, combines, etc, we use a Ford type solenoid which has a small current draw. Move the battery cable to it, run a cable from it to the starter solenoid, jump from the big post to the solenoid post. I take a piece of copper tubing, hammer one end real flat so it will be wide, the other end slightly flat so it will still be narrow, drill a 3/8 hole in one end and a 1/8 hole in the other to use as a jumper on the starter mounted solenoid. By the way, don't forget to move the big feed wire from the old solenoid also. Sometimes, your old solenoid will be dirty at the plunger. Pull the solenoid off and clean the plunger and the bore. Dry both of them good. DO NOT use any oil. The plunger will stick. It must be dry. Good luck.

The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
