the relay. Jump from the little tab on the start button to ground. If it cranks the button is bad or not grounded. Might be dirty under there.
If it doesn't crank go back and ground the small post on the relay and if it cranks the wire to the start button is bad. If it doesn't crank the relay is bad. That small post should be hot all the time or it's installed wrong or bad.

Rob,

Thanks for the information. It was the starter relay. I would have gotten back to you sooner but I have been out of town.

Bob

Rob -

There are at least 3 different kinds of starter solonoids. Mine has two small posts and requires that voltage be applied to the left small post. The right small post is hot only while the starter solonoid is engaged. This post can be used to apply full voltage to the coil when starting (bypassing any resistors).

The standard one-post solonoid for N tractors only required that the post be grounded, like you say.

The other type has voltage applied to one of the two small posts and grounding the other post causes it to engage. This was the type on my 66 mustang.

 Yes, I know other vehicles used in reply to MikeT , 10-04-2004 17:13:30  
different schemes and solenoids. I'm sure some guys have used different configurations. That'll come out in time if they post on the board.
Meanwhile, the reasonable assumption is they are stockers.
Why don't you go ahead and give the top post advise on how to troubleshoot each of the solinoid schemes you are aware of. It might help.
