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 - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
