I've been having a starter problem for a while now. I get a nothing or a click then nothing while trying to start. This was intermittent as the problem would clear itself. Thursday it happened again and I decided to fix it for good. This time it did not clear itself. I tapped the starter solenoid n engine started. I then removed the FEL to have good work acess. All troubleshooting on tractor pointed to a bad solenoid. I removed the starter n bench checked it. Sure enough solenoid would work for a few times then hang up with a click or nothing at all.
This is a Lucas starter n I am not familiar with this starter. My question is are the parts for this starter/solenoid common n easily found? Or do I have to research n see if I can find parts? I am looking for the solenoid contacts n plunger. Or maybe a whole new solenoid, the motor is still good n strong. The part numbers are: starter motor 54257610 solenoid 77228A. If someone can post a parts breakdown I'd appreciate it and any source for parts. Thanks.
