I have been having trouble starting the JD F525 front mower. When I turn the key I hear a click if I turn the key several times it will usually start if not I get out the jumper cables and it starts. The battery is 2 years old so I didn't think it was that. The dealer printed out a troubleshooting sheet. I was really hoping it wasn't the starter solenoid because those little jems are $175 for a gizmo the size of a shot glass. So I took the battery cables off and cleaned up every thing. I shot battery terminal cleaner on the cable ends and the terminals and contact cleaner on the wiring harness connectors. I put it all back together and it seems to be working. What can I put on the bolts and connectors to insure that they keep good electrical connection for as long as possible?
