JD 4700 Will Not Start ? ! ?

[Edward. S]

Have you tried CAREFULLY with someone pressing clutch pedal down shorting across from "S" terminal on starter solenoid to upper large terminal? Have you checked all safety(neutral start) switches for continuity?

Once again I have gotten it to start. My ebrake and everything is in neutral. My ebrake light does not light on. Once I pull on the ebrake it kills the engine.

Forgot to update, replaced thermistor, started, it worked then it I shut it off. Now it doesn't crank or do anything when I turn the key.

This was your last post I found that stated the engine ran and you've posted several times since. Have you considered that the E-brake switch might have failed?

Maybe. That's probably what it is now..

on cold mornings sometimes my solenoid doesn't pull in either. Getting fed up with this thermister thing so I want to wire the solenoid so it gets full voltage when the starter solenoid is energized. Anyone see a problem with this? It would still drop back to the low (run) voltage as soon as I let go of the key, normally about 3 seconds.....

As I said in post number 8 in this thread that is basically how the factory wiring on my 755 works. The pull-in solenoid is connected directly to the starter.
