Hello I would appreciate some feedback on proper ways to test a no start on a Ford 3600. I was using the tractor, turned it off came back a few mins later and nothing. Some times the safety switch would act up and I'd have to reseat the wires and it would fire up.
I'm about to split the tractor for a clutch swap and will replace it then.
Please give me your thoughts on this.
Battery has ~13v
I cut the Neutral safety connectors off to eliminate- ( I believe to bypass you should cross those together, so I wire nutted them)
With the Key turned on and safety switch wires nutted together I show ~12.5 volts at the starter solenoid. If I turn the key voltage drops to 0 and starter does not engage.
What I find strange is this. If I open the 2 safety switch wires, when I turn the key voltage stays at 12.5v at the solenoid but still the starter does not engage.
Should I have the safety wire connected together or should they be open to work (this is just temporary for testing)? The 2 wires that go to safety switch go up in the column and I'm not sure where they go I'm wondering if there is not an issue further up their "path". And that is not letting voltage got to the starter or if its actually the solenoid
I believe next step is I should try and bypass the solenoid by crossing out the 2 wires that go from solenoid to the starter and applying 12v directly to it from an outside source. The start should engage then correct?

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
