Thanks Roland. A nice morning story to go with your coffee. When we moved into our house 7 years ago, there was a grandfather plowing a small farm behind our home, our property lines meet so my girls would watch him and wave, eventually we became friends of the family. He became sick and unable to go out on the tractor, without offending the family I reluctantly offered to plow it using the tractor of course, which only happened a few times as it somewhat felt awkward. It's been a few years since he passed and recently I offered again, of which the daughter accepted graciously. His choice in tractor, the 1811. I'm a Chevy guy, so I am looking forward to getting this baby up and running again. It was somewhat buried, tires flat, no gas, and no charge. With all that rectified, I turned the key and the Solenoid is just making a click and buzzing. I cleaned the terminals on the battery, cables, ground, and the solenoid. Hoping to clean up the Starter today and if needed, I'll test the solenoid.

I'm sure Vernon is up there waiting to hear his baby run again!!!!

Thanks for your help in advance.
