My power trac PT-1850 won't start

[griffin1031]

I called Power Trac and new start is over 2k. Is there any used starter that I can purchase?

Welcome to TBN.

Where are you located? (It helps folks offer better suggestions.)

Can you share a few more details on what you have done to troubleshoot the not starting?

Do you know that it is that your starter is bad, or the solenoid, or the Power-Trac solenoid?

All the best, Peter

I'm in DFW area. the relay fuse that protects against the starter got burned up and it appears the start has gone out. Is there any technician in DFW area familiar with power trac who can take a look ?

Could you take it to a Deutz service center to be checked?

Apologies if this is a basic question, but does the PT-1850 come equipped with a Deutz engine? I called them and that was the first questions they asked.

Normally, yes. How old is your machine? How long have you had it?

The reason I asked above about the parts is that the PT Deutz starter wiring is normally;
Key switch -> booster solenoid -> Bosch starter solenoid -> starter

My Deutz starter doesn't have a fuse on it, so I'm not sure which fuse you are referring to.

Pulling the starter on a Deutz is a pretty straightforward task, but I would make sure that the starter is what is malfunctioning first. Lots of YT videos on how to test solenoids and starters.

I picked up a rebuilt one from Autozone for a couple hundred, and it was 50% more powerful. (IIRC: 1.5kW original vs 2.25kW, but don't quote me)

All the best,

Peter
