The 83 Case 580D I just bought has a starting issue. Occasionally, when you turn the key, it'll click and not start. I guess there is a solenoid in the cab, and one on the starter. You can hear both click. The one in the cab is new. If you cycle the key several times, it'll catch and turn right over. I put a boost pack on the battery to see if maybe it was lacking juice, but it didnt affect it. I'm thinking its corroded cables, or the solenoid on the starter. Hopefully the starter solenoid is replaceable by itself and doesnt require a whole new starter. If it absolutely wont start, you can jump the posts on the starter solenoid and it kicks right over.
Any other ideas?
thanks
