I have a Case 480D backhoe. Starter drive was slipping and a new drive could not be found. A new starter was close to $300.00 so I decided to take a chance on a Chinese made replacement. I installed the $125.00 communist made junk starter and the solenoid was clicking sometimes and was getting worse. I removed and cleaned contacts, although they looked good, and it was virtually the same design but much smaller, but it started well for a short time.
Now it will "click" once in about five starts and I can short contact wires at starter and it starts instantly every time.
I replaced the ignition switch and the solenoid wire going to the starter.
Same problem but will always start by shorting solenoid.
All contacts are clean and bright and fit snug.
Really reluctant to pay upwards of $300.00 for a new starter and still have the problem!
I was not having a solenoid problem with original starter.
Just doesn't make sense that it will start by shorting but not with ignition switch. In all my repairs, this problem was always ignition switch or it's wiring.
