Hello. I need some help figuring out a starting problem. 1952 8N, 12volt. Tractor runs fine once it starts. I was out cutting wood and when I tried to restart, the starter would not spin. I thought at first it was a battery issue. Cleaned the terminals and put a jumper on it but starter would not engage. Next on the hit parade was the solenoid. Replaced it with one from Tractor Supply, no difference; starter would not engage. Suspected it was the starter, removed it, took it to an auto store and they said it was bad (not completely sure about that as it turns out, but that is another issue). Put on a new starter and same problem. Changed the ignition switch, no difference. Here are the symptoms. When I turn on the key, the volt meter shows almost 13 volts. When I press the starter button, there is a click, and the volts drop to zero and stay that way. If I turn the key off and let is sit for a minute or so, the volts come back up to about 13. It seems to me it might be a grounding problem, but I would like to hear from someone who maybe had this problem before and can point me in the right direction. Could this be the negative ground strap from the battery? Do the starter buttons go bad and could this be simply a bad starter button? I would like to identify the problem and avoid any more 'parts replacement' method of fixing it. Thanks for your help. Dave

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.
