l2800 want crank.....

[blackrat]

Ok here is what I found. I was able to jump the starter from one post to the other and spin it. It appeares tht the bendix is not engaging. crawled up under the tractor and on the right side of the trannie there are 2 sensors screwed into the trannie . One of them was unplugged.
1st what is this sensor?
2nd how many volts should I see from the little wire that plugs into the starter when I turn the switch to crank. this is the wire that should be engaging the nendix correct? How many volts to engage?


Thanks
Wade

Without a WSM, and just to guess, its probably one of the saftey switches. Do you see where the other end should go? Have you plugged it in and try again? As for the starter, it spins but the solenoid doesnt come out to turn the engine ?
Not sure what you mean by nendix ?

Don't know the anaswer to the question about the sensor on the transmission.

The heavy wire to the starter, comes directly from the battery. The smaller wire comes from the start switch. When the ignition switch is in the start position, battery voltage should be present at this wire. The small wire energizes the solinoid, that in turn, draws the bendix into the flywheel, and at the same time, closes the contacts that connect the battery to the starter windings.

Battery voltage can be anywhere from about 12 volts even to 13.5 volts, depending on when the battery was last charged. Durring cranking, the voltage can fall as low as 9.5 volts, but should recover to near 12 volts as soon as the cranking stops.
