Working on my 485DI with several problems. 1. Charging system not working, the light on dash doesnt come on when started. Found one wire off of regulator and repaired that and checked the charge lamp and it is okay. 2. The battery has a black cable going from starter to positive terminal on battery and has a red cable going from ground to the negative terminal on the battery. Is it supposed to be positive or negative ground? 3. Now, starter is kaput. Maybe I tried to start it too many times the last round. With starter out of tractor, it wont turn with a battery connected directly to the connector bypassing the solenoid.
I havent been able to locate a service manual on it, and the main place in Tomball TX, said that manuals arent available for this model any longer. I have been looking for a wiring diagram so I could troubleshoot the electrical circuit, but no luck yet. Now I have a starter problem to contend with now. I would like to take it apart to check it out and see if it is repairable, but not sure on teardown procedure.
If anyone has any real good info and input on this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.
