I copied this from an earlier message by billc72. This is how I did it and it worked. Good luck
The Napa relay I purchased shows part # AR276
I also purchased a plug with 4 wires that plug into the relay part EC23. You do have to make sure the 4 wires are in the position to contact pins 30, 85, 86, 87 (and not 87a)
There are detailed pictures on this site from Jsheds. For those interested a search under TC33DA-Starting problems will furnish good instructions. I basicly followed the instructions that others furnished on this site.
(1) Relay installed under plastic on left side down low in a vacant hole in the steel plate. Attached the inline fuse 30A on the engine side on the same bolt.
(2) Ran the wire from pin 30 thru the inline fuse and attached at the bolt holding the battery positive to the starter.
(3) Ran the wire from pin 85 to ground. I attached to a bolt under the clutch area that holds a hydraulic line. (need a loop end here just like what is needed to attach at the starter.
(4) Unplugged the white plastic connector from the back side of the starter solenoid and cut it off along with a few inches of wire. Connected this white connector to the wire from pin 86 and plugs back to the solenoid.
(5) Take the cut wire that previously went to the solenoid and connect it going to pin 87 .
I saved pictures and instructions on what others posted and printed them out for instructions to follow.

I finally got around to doing this fix to my 2013 Mahindra 3616 this morning. I bought the tractor new and it’s had the click-click starting problem almost from the get-go. I don’t know why I put up with it so long. I thank everyone for the parts numbers and good instructions. They made it an easy fix.

I added a relay after my starter solenoid failed(3616). The old guy at the auto electric shop that my dealer sent me to fixed me up with a new solenoid that I installed on my starter. A lot cheaper than a new complete starter.
