I have this "off brand" lil AC D 15 utility I use for bush hogging etc. Its equipped with a Ford type starter solenoid and a generic sort of On Off Start swtich that has given me problems like a loose or restitive contact that has to be in just the right place to maintain ignition n maybe a couple bumps up to the Start position now n then before the solenoid engaged, but she always eventually worked. YES the battery n cables n grounds and switch n solenoid wiring all look fine n not shorted.
Anywho Im near the barn yesterday n hear this noise AND THE LIL D 15 (no one around it or touching it mind you) STARTS CRANKING THE STARTER OVER ????????? I run over n turn the key on n off n wherever but she keeps cranking and its slowing down cuz the battery is gettin weak. I run n disconnect a battery cable but by then she stopped cranking due to a low battery and there werent any sparkies when the cable was disconnected.
I didnt see any rats nests or water or nuttin around the solenoid or switch that could be shorting it, WHATS YALL BEST GUESSES WHY SHE STARTED CRANKING THE STARTER?????
I'm headed to town to pick up a new universal On Off Start switch and a Ford Solenoid cuz the switch was acting up a lil anyway n those solenoids arent expensive.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
