I acquired a 65 model 655, its got a HH70 engine on it along with a NEW 12v starter... Battery is charged, got voltage everywhere, but when I turn the key to start, nada, now when I turn the key to start and measure the voltage to the starter... i'm getting less the 1 volt dc....  so, bad starter key switch ? haven't tried jumping out the switch yet since I got the cover apart and don't want the thing spinning on me if it does work lol Thanks ahead fer input

:WRS:     First thing to do on any electrical issue is to clean all electrical connections. Take a look at the wiring diagram in this manual. If you still have questions post away, let us know how you do.

I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to about not wanting to jump it. Are you talking about a cover on the starter itself? If so, it must be fully assembled to work. The cover on the engine (blower housing)? If so, it won't matter for a short duration if the engine starts or put it back on. Belt cover? shouldn't matter just to get the engine started.

 

Take it OUT of gear, use a jump box or jumper cables. Make sure you have a good ground and touch the positive lead to the post on the starter. Starter is good if it turns the engine.

Measure voltage out of the switch and/or at the solenoid while turning the key into the start position.

More info on your tractor would be helpful for internet diagnosis.

Is there a solenoid in the start circuit or is this one of those high amp "straight through" type switches that doesn't require a solenoid? Is this a new switch or the one that was in there before the engine swap? The HH70 is not the original engine but works the same as the H60.

Pictures never hurt either. Helps us to see what you're talking about or referring to plus we may see something in them which could help.

      89 400 series 25A fuse blowing
      By WheelPuke
      I have my 25A fuse blowing every time I put a new one in the slot. The old one was burnt up when I got the tractor put this year. It sat for a year with a dead battery. I stopped using it as much because the transmission is clattering pretty bad when taking off on second or higher. I had to replace the clutch belt a few years ago and couldn't get an OEM. Not sure what is the problem there that's another issue though.
       
      I have checked the wiring and patched the worn spots where it could be grounding out. The fuse blows as soon as there is power to the system with the ignition off. I'm at a loss of what to check for at this point. Any input from someone who has had this issue would be appreciated. I'm not sure what these units are in the photos but do not know how to test them for a failure. They are directly in loop with the battery and the ignition loom looks to run into that 25A fuse.

      What am I doing wrong? ‘68 Charger 12
      By BrianKoch
      Hello gentleman, 
       
      Problem: will not crank on its own, will crank with jump box—but still not fire
       
      Recent things I did prior to this issue: cleaned fuel filter, replaced battery cables, replaced cable from ignition to starter
       
      I have my test light out and am probing around. 
       
      There is no power at ignition/magneto wire or the ignition/starter wire
       
      There is power everywhere else

      Electric PTO
      By trident
      Need some help. My 800 Special has an electric PTO. It is not working. Checked Ohms - nothing. My questions are 1) how does the PTO come off and 2) can they be rebuilt? I took the bolt out that I thought holds it on but no luck. Must be something more?
