I had an older JD that gave me troubles starting, happened to mention it to an acquaintance who turned out to be familiar with JD. He might have mentioned a TSB, been several years.

Solution was to put a Bosch style relay on the trigger wire to the solenoid so the key switch only closes the new relay. Run a new wire from the battery positive, through the new relay and on to the solenoid trigger terminal.

As he explained it there wouldn't be enough voltage left to actuate the solenoid reliably after going through all the safety switches, there is enough however to actuate the added relay which provides the solenoid trigger with full voltage via the new wire.

All the safety circuits function normally as the only change is what the key switch actuates, not where it gets its power from. $10 and 20 minutes and I never had a problem again.

 

Yes I did, just saying I hope you don't have to deal with them anymore

 

It’s been pretty good so far TY

 

I’ll keep this in mind.
My craftsman did the same and I ended up putting a Ford starter relay in it.
Will need to check the exciter wire during key over. Knowing my luck I’ll get there and the dam thing will start lol

 

Well another weekend in the books, good morning everyone and happy Monday.

 

Good Morningat work,still waiting to start running,not enough people AGAIN..shut down a line and backfill.what is it with some of this generation,

 

Good morning everyone

Lots to be proud of there.

I worked for a farmer when I was in high school that had a big Crescent wrench with a ball peen hammer head welded on the end of the handle. Actually he had several, kept one in each tractor. I wish I had a picture to share.

 

Good Morning

Have an Awesome day everyone !!

 

Good Morning

Looks to be a nice day.

I'd say come and get some of our workers. Wait, you can't,,,, they didn't come in today.
It's amazing how some of these new people use up all there vacation time and still get fired for calling in too much. This happens before they get through the 90 day probation period.

Enjoy your down time. Get another cup of coffee and grab a donut or two.

 

Good morning. Off to the gym I go. Nice weather here. 67* currently.
Y'all be safe out there. It's Monday and the crazy folks are still crazy.

Good morning everybody. First day of retirement and I got to go to work again. Still need to turn in my cruiser and some equipment. Only be a couple of hours though.

Another hot and humid day in store for us again today. Fortunately, not as high of a heat index as it has been, only 106-110 today At least they say rain starting this afternoon and continues for the next couple of days with cooler temps.

 

NO SHIT, with legs like you showed us the other day they probably thought they'd caught Chubaca!!

What's the back story?

 

That was nice of him. The ride in the back is a rule I think. @Cwopinger would know.
