Thanks to all for the help and suggestions. Turns out the Positive battery cable was showing 68 to 105 ohms. Ordered new cable and all is well.

Problem solved friends. I checked the Positive cable and low and behold I had 68 to 105 ohms. Bingo voltage drop here. Ordered new cable from Messicks installed and problem solved. Thanks to all for the suggestions and ideas. All appreciated. It took some time to get back to all of you due...

Thanks. How did you modify your tractor if I may ask?

What is best way to test solenoid?

I should also note that replaced the negative battery cable and then had all lights work on the dash when key turned to ON position. As soon as turn to START everything goes off. When key goes back to ON position only have fuel gauge and very dim oil light on.

No not seeing that light cycle. As soon as the key is turned to start--nothing.

Thanks I will try that tomorrow Saturday.

Thanks I will try that tomorrow.

Finished putting in new fence posts for day and picking up tools. Turned key to start heard one click and then nothing at all. Towed tractor to barn took covers off and started testing. Battery was over 2.5 years old, so replaced it same thing. Went to battery chassis ground and removed it...
