Fixing hole in side of block

[joesmith123]

Back on the hinge while waiting for parts

Mixed acetone with trans fluid, apply with brush, hit hinge with torch

If chinese gaskets make it: make progress on engine

Still don't know why both starters are doing the same manner like the video posted earlier

If everything is lubed, try this. Connect the (-) cable to the block or starter mounting bolt, then touch the (+) to the stud on top with the braided wire going to it, that should bump your starter. Forget about the signal wire for this test.

This statement could be on to something

"Braided wire going to it" is ground, correct?

In my head, this is connecting positive and negative and causing a short

Or am I incorrect?

Summary: work on hinge, figure out why both starters won't spin, and get gaskets to continue reassembly of block

Woah look at this: chinese gasket kit for $100, ordered on Monday from China, got here today (Thursday)

Now: forgot about the hinge, get back to engine assembly

Installed oil pump: put gasket on, got it into proper place, put in long bolts,then short bolts, then looked at diagram, put in the small key, then placed gear with protruding end facing front of tractor

Put gears and their hardware on not too tight in case I make mistake

Positive battery cable goes to the large lug next to the trigger wire. The ground cable goes to the engine block not the starter. You have the ground lead going to the stud that takes power from the solenoid to the starter motor.

Put the ground to starter body for bench test.
