Hi All,
This morning the tractor would not start! Just some clicking sounds maybe from the fuel pump and some sound like a marble dropping but, nothing from the starter. There are 3 wires going into it, one big one from the battery with a smaller one attached to the post, and one that I think is from the ignition. I tried to connect 12v to it thinking that is how to turn it over and I still get nothing. It looks like it might be kind of tough getting the starter out but, if anyone has any ideas on how to proceed, that will be great.
Bought the farm 2 months ago and the fun hasn't stopped!
Thanks a lot!

Yes, it seems to be. I was able to take the starter out this weekend and bench test it. Gear came out and spun fine. It must be one of the safety switches causing it not to start? Anyone know where I might find them?
Thanks a lot.
