Now we are getting to the problem. The light is detecting voltage availability. From the grounded terminal post of the battery (round post, not the clamp), to the other terminal post on the battery, the battery voltage is lighting the tester. If you now clamp the allegator jaw on the terminal clamp instead of touching the post, it is measuring the battery voltage, and the conductivity of the clamp to post. Assuming the battery terminals are clean and conductive. Clamping the alligator to the grounded terminal, testing now eveluates the conductivity of the connections proceeding from the non grounded terminal to the far end of the non-ground battery heavy cable. Touch only the metal of the bat cable terminal end, not just the threaded switch post. Next touch the threaded post and nut. If light go on. Then touch the ring terminal on the wire going to the amp meter. if no light, remove and clean the terminals with 200 grit (or so) silicon carbide paper. Then reassemble and spray clear spray laquer on the clean fittings. If there is voltage at the ring, push the probe into the wire going to the amp meter (through the insulation. If no light, the connection to the terminal is corroded possibly inside the insulation. If good and light is lit, go to the amp meter and check the ring terminal at the amp meter input. If no light replace the wire from the starter switch. Continue this action as described in the former post until you find the bad connection. Jim

"It's a 64 Ford Super Dexta", he said. "It's a tough little tractor, although it's a hard starter being a diesel and all." He did manage to get it running, compliments of a can of ether. Once started it putted along pretty good. It
