I changed the oil, started the motor, cheked level, a little high, so I drained the oil filter. The tractor would not start again. It rattled the first attempt, then nothing. When I turned the key as to start, the other gauges would "hump up"(move a little in the opposite direction). I cleaned all the ground and othe connections on cables and starter. I found a small crack on the starter solinoid(Noponso starter and selonoid, Not JD)I orderd a new solinoid. Could this be the problem? I have always had to disconnect the left ground and the hot to the starter or the batteries would discharge. The batteries were charged and showing 14 volts. I was getting 13.8 volts at the starter terminals. Any suggestions? Also I did not mark all the connections on the solinoid when I removed it, does any one have a diagram so I don't short it when I install the new one? It was back ordered and has been over 3 weeks and my memory may not be what I thought it would be when I removed it!
