    BX22 intermittently starts

    Hi Njtool, I am not sure. The surface between the starter and the block was painted (original), so I just sanded the mating surfaces where the started bolts up to the frame, put a light coat of electrical grease on the surfaces, and put it back together. I am going to buy a relay kit as...

    BX22 intermittently starts

    Well guys, I don't have much to report. I got up to camp this morning, cleaned up the surface where the starter mounts to the frame, put everything back together, and she fired right up. I used the backhoe for about 4 hours and shut the tractor off about 6 times, and each time she started...

    BX22 intermittently starts

    Thanks for all the help. I almost want to jump back in my truck and drive 4 hours back to camp just to try all these ideas. I just looked at my owners manual thinking at the back would be a wiring schematic. What was I thinking. Do you know where I can find a wiring schematic for a 2002...

    BX22 intermittently starts

    Henro, thank you for the breakdown. When I head back up Maine I will do those test "IF" the tractor doesn't start. Even if it does start, I will do those test as a baseline in case the problem happens again. You explained it well, thank you for your time and effort.

    BX22 intermittently starts

    Ok, I just got back from the best alternator and starter rebuilders in New England. They tested and took apart the starter (free of charge), and there is nothing wrong with the starter. There is a little wear, but absolutely nothing they would be concerned with. I told them what was going on...

    BX22 intermittently starts

    GeoHorn, what I meant regarding the breaker is that when I turned the key switch to start, everything went dead, similar if you tripped a breaker in your home. Taking the leads off the battery and putting them back on reset something on the tractor similar to resetting the breaker, except I...

    BX22 intermittently starts

    Thanks guys. DustyRusty, I did remove the old battery and connected the tractor to a one year old Interstate Megatron with the same results. I have an ignition switch on the way. Russel King, I will clean the mounting surface before reinstalling the starter. I have read about the relay...

    BX22 intermittently starts

    I am the original owner of a 2002 BX22 with just over 1000 hours. Over the last 5 years intermittently the tractor won't start. All I get is a click when I turn the key to start. This would happen a couple of times then it would start, and the problem wouldn't happen for a month or so...

    BX22 starter clicks intermittently

    Thanks for the advice. I do have a multi meter. I will check all my connections first. I know they are tight, but probably not as clean and bright as they should be. I will run a test on the battery, and have a small hammer ready to tap the starter.

    BX22 starter clicks intermittently

    I own a 2002, BX22. Over the last three months, sometimes when I go to start the engine, the starter "clicks" but does not turn over. After two to four turns of the key from "off" to "start", the engine starts. It does not matter if the engine is cold or warm. It always starts, but recently...
