That's a pain in the butt...
hopefully you have CAA or something - nothing worse than being stuck on the side of the highway and finding out how much the vultures want to charge you for a tow home...I'm not sure what year it is but compared to what most of us are running it's pretty new, about 640 hours. About all he does is mow with it now but about 3 acres. Use to snow blow and large garden with it. He has a Brinly 12" plow, disk, planter and ingy tiller. He's had Case and Ingersoll since the 70s.

The brine used today on the roads eats the fine strand copper they use there now . Older starter used course strand or solid there . Next to a dead battery , that is the most common reason for a no start these days . I had to do mine for the same reason a couple of years back .
I'll insulate the new one. The starter is located low in the engine and out of sight, so I didn't see the cooked wire until it was out. Now that I know this can happen, a screwdriver in between will be used in the future for diagnosis.DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 7:37 am The brine used today on the roads eats the fine strand copper they use there now .

Do Not use silicone gasket maker . The solvents in it will eat copper . use liquid rubber or battery terminal spray .Eugen wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 7:44 amI'll insulate the new one.
