I see no fuse at least blade type i know the condenser is toast
Points I don't know
Can the points be cleaned up if they were burnt?
Or just get new!
There is a voltage regular i haven't looked inside after this event!
Don't know which direction to go i have a new condenser coming!

 

[McTurff]

Sounds like you blew out the main power fuse or burnt the contact points a little.

Just to follow up there is no main fuse on these tractors
So im at condenser which I don't think would keep it from starting i was told to disconnect it and try to start and nothing!
I guess i will try new points also but they don't look any different than before this occurred but maybe I just can't see it??>>
Solenoid bench tested and clicks like it should

Just to clarify, this will crank over but it will not start and run due to no ignition fire?

Do you have a basic test light and a multimeter to check voltage and resistance?

No no crank
I think its starter
Power to solenoid coil starter
Im going to jump starter next
Working on it as I type

Tap on the starter and solenoid lightly with a hammer and see if it tries to crank.

That didn't work i had tried that !went with battery cables from battery and starter functions like it should
But nothing from key?

Test for power to your key switch and if there is power going out when you turn it to the cranking position. It is a matter of tracking down where the crank power signal is dropping out.

It could be a loose or corroded pin at a connector or the switch has failed. At this age, expect the unexpected.

I have power going out! And to key switch!
Will keep plugging away!

Pull the starter off and bench test it with a jump box.

This is not a rule but SHOULD BE. If you replace a starter replace the SOLENOID too.

I put jumper cables to starter it works!
Put new solenoid on nothing!
Power from key switch goes everywhere!
I have changed nothing since I got this running!
Then I arched the orinal solenoid
I bench tested the original solenoid and it was good !
Since there are no fuses would something in regulator cause this
Im stumped
