Hello Nicky welcome to YT. First let me apologize for
any replies that you have gotten that may seem a little
bit of a ..put down.. so to speak or maybe contained
information that was over your head. I am sure you
realize there are many personalities and styles of
returning information to you. For the most part a lot of
mechanical minded folks hang out on here. A lot of us
think we are a step above those who commonly post
on here with their problems. Point is if someone posts
with an electrical problem we often say that it an easy
check with your test light or volt meter. Well many
folks do not have these items, upon hearing that we
set back in our chairs and scowl saying ..what idiot
would not have one of those?.. One reply you received
reported that his battery failed instantly, that is a very
rare occurrence. So now to get to the meat of my reply
we ..high and mighties.. often forget your tractor has a
built in test system of sorts, that is if it has a working
lighting system. When you try to start it turn the lights
on, when you get the click if the light stay bright the
battery or connections are most likely NOT your
problem. On the other hand if the lights go out or go
dim the battery and connections are then suspect. It
sounds like you have resolved to just try replacing the
solenoid, that is an approach. Now to return to the
..mechanical minded.. person I am l would like to verify
the solenoid is the problem before replacing it. I would
suggest you purchase a simple automotive test light,
auto parts stores carry them. On the starter solenoid
one post has the cable from the battery usually the top
one on those style Deeres if it is like others of that era.
The check for the solenoid would be to test for the
bottom terminal to light the test light when you
activate the key or button to start it. A hint here to help
you do this by yourself is to use the clip test light lead
to connect to the lower terminal of the solenoid and
then ground the probe end to something metal.
Sometimes I stick it in beside the bolt on the negative
battery terminal clamp. After all this if when you
energize the key or button to start if the solenoid is
powering that lower terminal and lighting your test
light the problem is in the starter itself. Hope this
helps!
