Starter solenoid on my 400

Posted by SDE on November 21, 2009 at 06:52:11 from (174.124.8.103):

I bought a new 4 terminal solenoid and I still have not been able to start the tractor with a key.
With the wire from the ign. switch removed from the solenoid, I get zero volts with the key in the on position. Turn the key to start and I get 12 volts. Put the wire on the solenoid and I get 12 volts with the key in the on position. If I ground the same terminal to the solenoid body with a wrench the starter will engage. Is there something wrong with this solenoid? I cleaned the starter body when I installed it so that it would be grounded properly. I do not think I turned any of the terminals when I connected the wires. Can I try to turn a terminal to get it to stop making a contact inside the body, or should I try to return it to NAPA?
Thank you
Steve
