I have a Belarus (Pray) 310 Tractor. I've been trying to rewire the starter solenoid. The coil works fine, but the wiring to the coil is all corroded.
When I tried to get the coil to throw the solenoid by hooking it up the way I thought I should, I get nothing; that is connecting the body/ground to negative battery, and the power connection to to positive battary; nothing happens even when you short the starter switch/relay stud to positive..
If you take the cap that holds the electrical connectors off the coil, you see that there are only two connections going into the coil. One which goes to the starter relay/switch stud actually has two wired connected together which go into the coil. The other wire goes to the positive battery power.
The only connection I found to make the solenoid coil react is connecting the two wires going into the coil to positive and negative battery. Then the solenoid goes off!
This doesn't make any sense to me because the one wire goes to the main battery positive power stud; the two wires that go into the coil together go to the starter relay/switch!!!
Now I've paid to have this starter 'rebuilt' a couple of times; it didn't seem like they were really doing anything because it fail within a years again. So I decided to clean it up myself. Maybe it's wiring is no longer original?
It doesn't help that you have to unsolder a couple of connections just to get the cap off, and there's no way to put it back together because the starter relay stud is soldered to a wire with no slack. I put a ring terminal on the starter relay stud under the cap on a wire a couple inches long to give me enough slack to push the relay stud through the cap and then screw the cap on, and solder the ring terminal outside the cap on the main power stud to the wire that goes through the cap to the ring terminal.
Is it supposed to be like this? Has this already been screwed over sometime in the past?

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
