I have a F560 that has been a complete nightmare. I had thought I fixed it but apparently not.
Here is what is going on.
Most of the time it starts and runs fine. Intermittently if you let it sit for more than a day the battery is completely dead, but not always.
In the past three days, it has developed new gremlins. The other day I was changing oil on it and the starter kicked in for 2 seconds without anyone touching the tractor. It only did it once while I was in the shed (4 or 5 hours) but it kind of freaked me out. Then after I finished changing the oil I try to start it, and the starter won't disengage after I release the button. I shut off the ignition switch (power to the starter switch comes from the ignition switch) and it still kept cranking until the battery cable was removed.
Do I have a bad solenoid or am I getting voltage from somewhere else? I ran a new wire from the starter button to the solenoid so I know there is no short there. I unhooked the fuel gauge, horn, 12 volt outlet, and lights, so there is not much wiring left to be shorted out and it happened again tonight.
Solenoid or the other thought is the voltage regulator. both switches tested fine.
