PTO is not engaged and tractor normally starts in any gear, I think it might have something to do with it being an HST model.

Theclimer, when you say verify, if you mean simply by making sure the PTO is not engaged or making sure I'm sitting in the seat etc., yes we have done that. Are you talking about a different way to test them?

Those are the first things I checked, all is good.

Update: I have confirmed that I'm not getting any voltage from the signal wire at the started to tell the starter to operate. I'm pouring over the wiring schematic and have decided that I need to locate the Starter motor(mini) whatever the hell that is? The signal wire is black with yellow...

The problem is that I can't get the starter to engage without jumping the S pin on the starter to the hot post, the key won't turn over the engine. Yes it has fuel so that is not the problem. Once I get the engine to turnover normally from the ignition switch I think it will start.

After replacing the battery, both battery cables and the ignition switch I still get nothing when I turn the key to run. The dash board energizes, the glow plug heats up and the light goes out but when I turn the key the rest of the way to turn over the engine nothing happens. I can manually...

Where is this fuel solenoid located or the relay?

I will replace those two items I mentioned above and let you guys know. I very much appreciate all the suggestions from this group.

Update, new battery and new ground cable rerouted to the engine block, ground is now solid. Tried starting using ignition switch and got nothing. Went direct to starter and jumped S terminal to hot and the engine turned over fine so starter is good. By the way, I did remove it previously to...

Alexpops, "Sure sounds like bad cables, loose clamps, corroded connections or an internally shorted starter. " Clamps are not loose, I am getting the full 12.8v through the cable to the 100amp fuse and main connector in the line, doesn't that mean the cable it good? These are within 12" of the...

Tried jumping the starter while installed and found that it does activate momentarily until the voltage drops to 3.89v. Put my multimeter on the battery terminal of starter to monitor before and after voltages and I had 12.8v before engaging key then as soon as I turn to start it drops to 3.89...

Thank you. I also left you a message on your other post about finding a replacement. Did you end up using the Rare Electrical options?

Alexpops I need to replace my starter on my XR4145HC and wanted to make sure the one you purchased from Rare Electrical worked as expected and fit right? Please advise? Thanks Barry

original battery did not test bad in terms of voltage but this past winter I did not have the trickle charger on it for several months and with the extreme cold it killed the battery deader than dead, there was nothing. I recharged the battery and while it has 12v I suspect that a cell might...

checked cables/wires, no rotting.

No rodent issue here, all fuses are good. There is some draw but i keep a trickle charger on the battery so it stays fully charged. Terminal connections are cleaned, 1st thing I did and yes they are tight. Its not a battery connection issue. Yes I did resistance check on the wires to the...

Tractor just started acting up not starting about a month ago. At first the dash board would energize, the glow plug indicator would go off and when I turned the key to start I would hear this click and then nothing. Today I thought I would do more trouble shooting trying to narrow down where...
