6530 wont start

[RMOMN]

Rmoni,

Have the battery checked for amps. Had a one on my 5530 same click, etc. had battery checked out, showed full charge, then had the amp checked. That test failed no amperage to crank. New battery took care of that problem. This was 2014 July. No problem since. Batteries are not what they used to be since lead is not used anymore as I am told.

When I jump the starter solenoid it cranks fast and starts right up.

check and clean both ends of each battery cable. If it starts when you jump the solenoid, then it's either a bad cable connection on the starter ( my bet) or a bad solenoid.

Also check the small wire that goes from the solenoid to the key switch for tightness.

I'll take a picture of one for you tomorrow.

Have you had a chance to get a picture of the starter relay so I know what I'm looking for?

I just got back from where my tractor is kept. It turned out to be a bad connection on the small wire coming from the key switch to the solenoid. Thanks for all the input.
