Dieselcrawler, Z5........ Looks like another week off-line, learned a close friend has been diagnosed with a terminal illness so nothing less than a face to face trip is in order before the winter arrives. Will return on-line for your assistance/spoon feeding come Monday October 3rd. Everything sits as we last left it, when I get back I will be creating the jumpers. THANKS..........

dieselcrawler, Zebrafive,
Arrived home, driving miles 3.5k+ during roundtrip to Minnesota. Dodged most of the rainy weather but I-80/I-90 running south of Chicago & thru Gary, Indiana what a mess, miles and miles (20+) of shifting lanes and reflective cones/barrels with no apparent activity in the closed lanes....GRIDLOCK.....but what do I know...........
Friend in good spirits, wife and I had a couple of good laughs with him and his wife + he loves Mexican Food as do I so we went out for some good hot cheese and jalapenos nachos. A friend in need is a friend indeed I always learned growing up, was time to put that into action.
Will continue on the tractor mystery come Monday (OCT 10th), still have about 4 hours remaining on Wallpaper Project + will finish-up the Jumper fabrication. Will be interesting with the Solenoid still out with jumpers attached + I find another ground outside the cable harness, will the solenoid retract when tractor placed in run position. I'm sure you'll both have several point-to-point tests for me to perform to pinpoint the problem area. THANKS for your continued support and thoughts regarding my friend, really appreciated.

dieselcrawler, Zebrafive,
Finally Back to the Tractor..........This is Leaf Peepers time of the year here in NH and some unexpected visitors, our doors are open to friends and family but notice would be nice.....enough on that delay.....
In any event I'm back on-line, the attached PIC shows the (3) jumpers (couldn't get white jacket wire so using GRN). Jumpers between Connector X5 on Solenoid to Wiring Diagram 651 Wht/Blu , 658 Grn/Wht & 115 Blk. Jumper wire GRN connecting X5 Wht & 651 Wht/Blu, Jumper Wire RED connecting X5 RED to 658 Grn/Wht and lastly Jumper Wire BLK connecting X5 115 Blk. I have another long jumper going to Battery Ground and connecting to Jumper BLK with Alligator Clip. AT Ignition RUN Position - Nothing, AT Start - Nothing. Thought perhaps with the direct ground to battery might get something.
If you remember during our last testing, I took dieselcrawler's recommendation to simultaneously jump Solenoid Wht & Red from Battery positive while Solenoid Blk connected to battery ground. That was only instance causing the Solenoid to retract.

So you have proven that tge solinoid does work. You have a wiring issue.
Nice job on the jumpers, exactly what i was picturing.

Hiiimmm, Started going back thru Z5's testing. Disconnected Jumpers to Solenoid, Multimeter Test leads stuck-in X5 connector on Wiring Harness side, BLK on 115 BLK.......... 658 Grn/Wht = GOOD 12V, 651 Wht/Blu GOOD, 12V for couple of seconds. Connected Jumpers to check continuity on harness side, A-OK.....Connected Jumpers to Solenoid 658 Grn/Wht = GOOD 12V reading on jumper bare wire, 651 Wht/Blu = NO VOLTAGE jumper bare wire.
