My H is converted to a 12 volt. For the last year or two. I have noticed that the battery slowly weakens and goes dead. I have a couple of issues that may be related. 1. the tractor turns over really hard. I may have to hit the starter switch several time to get the starter to click. Eventually the tractor will turn over slowly and eventually gain some speed and start. I have the last few times banged a little on the starter and it seems to begin turning over a little sooner, than not.
I went to jump start it yesterday and with the ignition switch off the terminals sparked heavily as I was connecting to the running vehicle. That makes me think there is a short in the system, maybe the starter? I have seen the starter have shorts on a chevy van which acted similar.
Any ideas how to check for a short in the starter? or other parts of the system for live current?
