So last year we had an issue where the tractor key had to be turned around 20 times for it to actually engage, as if after many tries you got lucky. It would just click from the relay above the circuit breakers. This year after charging the batteries (Converted from 2 6volt to 2 12volt)we were having the same issue, only this year the starter will not engage. The closest we got ever dozen or so turns was a very slow turn of the starter and a loud rapid "Click click click click". Again this only happened every so often. We have replaced both the relay above the breakers and the starter relay. We took the starter and solenoid off and had it tested at a nearby shop. The worker seemed very knowledgeable and said when he tested it he had no issues. We put the starter back on after cleaning the connections in multiple places on it and the relays. Still no improvement.
We finally decided to pull the key switch and the connections looked very rough. We did our best to quickly clean with a wire brush but again no luck. Upon re connection the system bugged out and blowers would not work and all accessories began acting up, we believe that we may missed a connection but begin frustrated we gave up for the night. I am just including this info in case it may mean something.
So in summary our starter and solenoid were tested to be working. We replaced both relays and still had no luck. We are now planning on replacing the key switch.
I believe we tackled this issue without much organization or logical diagnosing. Electrical is by far not our strong point. If anyone has any suggestions or tests we would greatly appreciate it. We need this tractor in the field ASAP and would love some help. I can provide any additional information or clarify anything that comes up. Thank you

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
