One question on the wiring diagram....I have 4 wires on the harness coming into the HST safety switch. The Prior owner apparently had an issue and rewired the switch. There are two wires that are not used. One is hot and the other appears to be a negative. They look like they are made to...

Thanks for the wiring diagram!! Very helpful....I'm happy to report that with everyone's input and the wiring diagram I was able to fix the issue. Turned out that there was a loose wire in the starter relay plug. It was a small brown wire (smaller than the other three wires). When I probed...

Thanks for the reply! Currently there is no voltage at the solenoid wire when I turn the key to start. When I jump the solenoid wire from the battery cable it fires right up. I'm getting power to the fuel solenoid, so it must be somewhere between the fuel solenoid and the starter solenoid...

I have been having intermittent problems with my L48 starting. When I turn the key on I can hear the fuel solenoid click, but the starter will not crank over when the key is in the start position. i can take a copper wire and jump the starter by touching it to the bolt that connects the...

Thanks for all the feedback....weather turned cold again so I am waiting for a little warmer day to continue troubleshooting. Thanks for the wiring diagram!! The under seat safety switch has been bypassed so I'll check the one that activates when the seat is turned....If you have any...

Still looking for help with this problem. I think it is electrical but need help in determining which relay might be causing the problem. I have checked the fuel solenoid and it functions properly. If I remove the solenoid the tractor will run all day but I have to shut it off manually. I...

Thanks for the reply!! I checked the wiring connections and the switches. They seem to be working OK. The engine will now start and run for a while, then the fuel Solenoid will lose power and the engine shuts off. It will do this randomly whether the tractor is being used or just idling...

I have an L48 backhoe that has intermittent starting problems. We are always able to start it with a heavy copper wire jumping the starter. Recently it started periodically turning over with the key, but the fuel solenoid did not have power so it would not start. After cranking a bit, it...
