I had an hour this afternoon before dark to check out the tractor. Still no start-
I cleaned the battery terminals (though they didn’t seem corroded) and they are bright and shiny and tight. I checked the negative cable which is attached to the starter lug nut. It was so tight that I couldn’t remove it to clean so I sprayed it with battery terminal protector. The positive attachment to the starter I tighten a small amount.
I “jumped the solenoid” and did not have any response from the starter. I got a strong spark when I wasn’t making good contact. I used a screwdriver to do this.
Two questions:
1. Can I check voltage at the solenoid? Without making a big spark. 2. What would you suspect? The solenoid looks easier to remove than the starter and I thought I noticed one on the Walt’s Tractor Website for about $10-15.
I really appreciate all of the advice especially relating to safety.
