- Case IH 1140 (first tractor ever)
I recently purchased my first tractor. Its a Case International 1140. I parked it the other day, everything was fine. I went to start it up yesterday and it didnt turn the starter motor over. The clicking that I believe is associated with the fuel pump was heard. I thought maybe the battery didnt have enough juice to run the starter motor. I charged the battery. Still nothing. So, I took my trusty 12 volt test light and identified power to the starter. I identified the ground wire to the starter. That left the wire from the switch to the solonoid (sp?). I hit the switch and the test light did not light up at the solonoid. So, I went to the switch, (that switch has 5 poles by the way) and tested the switch. Switch is good. So, I am gussing that I have an issue between the switch and the solonoid? Correct? How do you spell solonoid anyway?
