Shut off tractor to open gate and pass through. When I went to restart (it always has started immediately) it kicked over and then it all went went south. Instead of chugging and turning the engine over the starter was running continuously, not turning the engine over. *Even when I shut it off and took the key out.* I wasn't too far from the house and after fumbling around I ran up to the house and got a set of wrenches. There appeared to be the beginnings of smoke in the area of the starter (which I could feel was spinning somehow) and I thought dang I don't need this to catch on fire. Disconnected battery and it shut down.
Cause?
Cure?
Don't know if the starter is bad or the solenoid or some other part, switch, whatever. I have very basic knowedge of engines, so don't know how to determine what the cause and cure is. Need some help.
Thanks.
