(NOTE: I recently had to hit my old starter with a hammer to get it to start. I did this twice and the 3rd time the hammer trick did not work, so I bought a new starter.)
I hooked up the new starter and went to start the tractor and there was a buzzing sound from under the dash. Dash/ glow plug lights went out and would not come back on on 2nd try.
I took the dash apart and tested the starter switch and ignition switch.
I am getting 12.4v at the ignition switch in both Off and ACC position. When I turn it to run, I get 2 volts.
I unhooked the 12 volt main from the starter keeping the power to the dash and ignition.
I can get the starter switch to work. 12.4v in and10.6 volts to the solenoid wire through the starter switch.
Tested the starter on the bench in it kicks and turns normally.
When I rehooked the starter 12 v to the tractor, as soon as I try to turn it over, the dash buzzes again and the dash lights go out (not coming back on either).
Took the 12v main off the starter again and now I can get the dash/ glow plug lights....
What's up?
