Problem solved - Thanks, Folks for your responses. The system is currently a 12 volt system. Because when the floor switch is released, current stops going to the solenoid which causes the starter to stop turning. No further charge should be coming from the solenoid's 'I' terminal, but it turns out that the wire to the 'I' terminal was the guilty culprit. (Thanks, Deanostoybox for pointing me in that direction.) I took the wire off the 'I' terminal and just held it there while cranking the starter. Once it started, I took the wire away and the motor continued to run and the resistor did not overheat. Touching the wire back on the 'I' terminal caused the engine to stop. I tried starting the engine without the 'I' terminal connection and the engine started without any hesitation, so I'll just leave out that part of the circuit. Your right, Jeffcat & Jmor, the solenoid is the basic problem as all I did was grab a four post solenoid without any further deliberation. I added it to the circuit because I thought I needed that temporary bridge to compensate for the extra current while starting. I am not sure what will happen during the cold winter months – I'll wait and see. I wanted the floor switch because I, or anyone else borrowing this machine, then must be up sitting in the seat to start it – safety. The ignition switch is simply a keyed, off/on switch. Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to respond to this dilemma of mine. It's great to know there is a place to go if things just don't seem to make sense.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
