Hi,
I have a MF 65 Diesel and the starter�s solenoid has a problem. The copper on the bolt is worn enough (see attached photo) that it doesn�t engage the copper ring to complete the circuit to start the starter motor. Since it will take at least 10 days for my local dealer to get a new one in I was wondering if I could fix it.
Here�s what I propose to do: I�ll face off the copper on the bolt face in a lathe so that it is flat. I�ll then solder a new piece on and face it down to the original size. I was thinking of using a penny but now I�m not too sure they are copper so I�ll get some flat copper stock. Does this sound like a plan to you experts? By the way, is it possible to buy just the bolt?
Anyway�what say ye�
Thanks
