Well, I am past frustrated. Replaced the starter solenoid today and it started just fine.
The motor would not shut off and I remembered that my buddy was over and had changed out the key switch with another one that was laying there from and old tractor so, I swapped them back out and then the tractor started okay, ammeter was good, took a quick reading to check that the stator was charging and it was working just fine....but still, the motor would not shut off !!
Getting ready to go on a trip so I won't be able to mess with this thing for a few days.
My next step will be to go through the key switch and check to make sure that the contacts work like they should and make sure that none are shorted. Also need to track down to make sure that the kill wire is intact.........what a pain in the back side....but i know that it will be worth it..........I think.
