Update on starting issue. After jumping or bypassing Every safety switch, with four hours invested finding and bypassing I still have the old click like my battery is weak or bad connection. So I go back to the NEW soleniod. Put 12 volts direct on solenoid bypassimg the entire tractor and still have the click. It has always started but only after some tries. There is a plunger inside the solenoid that when 12v is applied, moves to send voltage to engage starter. So I didn't need the new soleniod. Took solenoid apart cut one turn off the plunger spring and everything back to normal. I have started more than 200 times without any clicking. Finally fixed! I hope this saves others time and money on the 16 series. All safety switches hooked back up except seat switch, never found the wires going to switch, maybe cabs only have the switch, no wires.
