Ooops. I really screwed up now.:eek: I was testing the skinned place on the wire. I got 9.something volts while in start position on the key. This is where I out smarted myself. I tried jumping from the skinned place to the terminal where the small gage wire plugs into the solenoid and...

Hey, Vic, do I need to replace the cable end even if I get 12 volts at the solenoid?

Joe, thanks for the guidance. Here’s some more info: I jumped from the tractor’s own battery. On the solenoid, the heavy gage wire shows 12 volts all the time. The other terminal (smaller gage wire) doesn’t show any voltage even when in the start position. I found 2 safety switches. One...

Hey, guys. Sorry for the delay in reporting in. Here is what I’ve found so far. The solenoid and starter are good. I took them off and had them tested. Also, I can short the starter and get the tractor to start. I tested continuity on the negative ground wire. It was good. I don’t get any...

Well, here's what I found. The cable that goes from the negative battery post to the frame of the tractor looks great. Is there any other ground to check? For the voltage check, I have 12.15 volts going into the solenoid with the switch in the on position. It draws down slightly when I turn...

Thanks, Joe. I did all the safety things, so I'll check voltage tonight and let you know how it goes.

Hey, guys. Newbie here, so please forgive any ignorance that I show. My L3650 won’t start. It appears to be electrical. I see Vic’s advice about checking the basics. I “think” I have, but what am I missing? I bought a battery and put it on. The old was 10 years old! Heck, it had to bad...
