JD 3203 clicking during start

[Destry]

John Deere 3203 clicking when attempting to start with good battery. Does this model have starter solenoid? What else would cause a clicking sound? Appreciate any feedback.

What is the test for the battery, that causes you to say "good battery" ??

How long has the battery been in the tractor?

Do you have the service technical manual?

If not, maybe consider buying for more good detailed information.

Others more familiar with your 3203 will likely chime in for better help.

Have the battery checked again. Maybe a short that is intermittent. My bet is the battery or connections to the ground.

Thank you all for the responses; this problem occurred overnight, so the first thing I checked was the battery! I'll get back with you a little later......

Sorry beenthere, I thought I had checked the battery thoroughly yesterday, the connections (+, -, ground) and my DC tester looked good. Jump start this AM went without hesitation. I'll try to charge it today.
