I'll do some testing on it later this morning.

My battery in the tractor was bad and needed replaced. The old battery in my 2000 F150 pickup was only 3 years old and good. Since I was buying a new battery, I just thought I'd rather have it in the pickup since I use it all the time and sooner or later batteries do go bad and sometimss out on the road somewhere.

Prior to buying the battery, I was having to jump start the tractor a few times. I may have knocked out a diode or something in the alternator. I'll check it. Yesterday I figured it had to be the solenoid cause I didn't think the battery would be down. The solenoid probably clunked a time or two as I tried it before the interior and dash lights came on. Some switch may have froze up.

Thanks. I'll check it later.
