The item below the solenoid is most likely your kill relay, at that time small metal cased relays were being used. Don't worry about the relay unless you run into some sort of ignition problems once you get the starter turning over.

I think you solved your own problem by asking about the ground wire from the engine mount plate to the frame.

That was when I just got to school and teacher wasn’t here yet! lol and now I’m in a study hall but zero homework…

You won’t hear from me the rest of the school day! I promise!

Added ground wire on the shaker plate, replaced starter solenoid. Now when we run a jumper from battery to start solenoid the solenoid jsut clicks. But nothing with the key switch, Help!

If a jumper as shown in blue just makes the solenoid click you may have a bad solenoid.

Tried a different (good) ignition switch and still nothing. No voltage coming out.

. Hooked up amp meter and now getting power (12.66) volts to the ignition switch. Now getting 12.64 volts out of the ignition switch going to I guess some sort of rectifier. And if a wiggle the wires a bit the solenoid starts buzzing.

Yesterday you had voltage to and from the ignition switch and now you don't, is that what is going on?     Is the switch you are using a 103990 ignition switch? Not all Wheel Horse ignition switches are the same.

Yup that’s what’s going on! I think it is. The ignition switch worked on the donor tractor when I cracked it over.

Does the donor tractor have a battery ignition or magneto?  Use a meter to check your switch against the diagram of the switch on the left on the post I sent earlier. With the key in the start position the B, I, S, and R terminals should all show continuity to each other.

Donor tractor is the same model. And all the wiring from the donor was with the engine. I’ll check continuity tomorrow. Thanks for your help!

Did you do this test to see if the solenoid works.

Are you sure the terminal connectors in the plug for the ignition switch are good. Can't see why you wouldn't be getting voltage out of the switch if it tests good.

I tested the solenoid and yes it works, 

i could’ve been doing something wrong with the ignition switch, will try again tommorow.

We aren't going to let this thing kick our buts,     :soapbox:       we will get it to work if it kills us.    Using the volt meter lets follow the wiring from the battery to the solenoid and everything in between. The drawings below are in two parts so they can be seen better. Start the test with the key in the off position.

You may hear the kill relay click when the key is turned to the run or start position, this is normal

 

1  starting at the battery cable to the solenoid from the battery check for 12 volts.

 on the + side of the amp meter check for 12 volts.

 on the  - side of the amp meter check for 12 volts

 on the incoming end of the fuse holder check for 12 volts.

 on the outlet end of the fuse holder check for 12 volts.

 On the B terminal of the ignition switch check for 12 volts.

Be sure the transmission is in neutral and pull the spark plug wires off for safety.

 Turn the key to the start position and hold it there, check for voltage on the S terminal.

 With the key in the start position and the PTO OFF check for 12 volts on the end of the PTO switch that comes from the ignition switch.

 With the key in the start position and the PTO OFF check for 12 volts on the end of the PTO switch that leaves the PTO switch going to the clutch switch.

10 With the key in the start position and the PTO OFF check for 12 volts at the clutch switch on the wire from the PTO switch.

11 With the key in the start position and the PTO OFF and the clutch pushed down, check for 12 volts at the clutch switch on the wire that leaver the clutch switch going to the solenoid. small terminal.

12 With the key in the start position and the PTO OFF and the clutch pushed down, check for 12 volts at the small terminal of the solenoid. This should close3 the solenoid and turn over the engine.

Sorry all. To many things happened over the weekend but back at it. I have everything good 1-3. But #4 I have no voltage going to the fuse holder.

Never mind. Was doing something wrong now I have voltage going through and from fuse holder.
