Thanks, I got it going. I didn't need the JD part either. I popped the steering wheel, pulled the key switch, and using my wiring diagram found that the black and white wire that goes to the solenoid, through a couple of safety switches goes to the momentary contact in the key switch. So I too...

Well it has been a while, my ride is back to its old trick again, ran fine the last time, let it set for a few weeks or more, get back on it to fire it up and nothing. Dash lights up, tried jumping it through the battery, same clicking as without the jump. Haven't tried short starting, I may...

It is a decent Klein, popular brand. I got it to work on the ohms scale did a little this and that. Well long and short of it is now running, I took off the JD solenoid, found out when I tightened it up it must of spun the connector for it the wrong way and the eyelet was broken off. If the JD...

Thanks for all the input guys. I will do my best to figure out how to set my multimeter to test the switches. I have the manual for it, so all I need to do is follow directions..:rolleyes: I also have downloaded the work shop manual (WSM) and printed out all the pages related to the switches...

FWIW I have been a shade tree mechanic since way back when. but all the switch and solenoid stuff has me thrown. I can do as you say, it is easy enough since it is only a matter of bypassing each switch. Soooo, the question is.... how do I bypass the switch? I have not really looked to...

If I was able to short start it, would that not show that there is enough power in the battery? It is a new battery, and I checked the connections before reattaching. I also coated then in terminal preservative, so I call it.

I checked the PTO lever first thing, I forgot to put that in the original post. I noticed that the motor would not start on occasion when I dismounted from the left side. That's when I hit the lever and with just that little bit of force down the PTO lever would not let it start. I am talking...

Thanks first off for allowing me to join your group. I searched the forum for the trouble I am having but I still have not resolved the issue. What I have for the most part is the seemingly typical problem of turning the key, the 3 lights come on which is the battery, glow plug and another that...

Thanks for the clarification, but bummer mine is in good contact, even with the John Deere solenoid added. I guess I will need to look at the switches or something??

This is my first post. I have the same issue as you do. Low hours, ran fine the last time I parked it. Checked the one lever that was at fault when it did not start prior times. Did the John Deer relay add on. Still only clicks. Then another click about 5 seconds after the click with the key...
