Beatles, I may me telling you something you are aware of, but did you check to make sure that it"s in neutral? There is a safety lock that prevents the starter from engaging when in gear.
If that"s not it then try this: make sure it"s in neutral, using your truck with it"s 12v system, with the tractor ignition on, hook your jumper cables pos. from the truck to a good ground on the tractor (I usually clean up one of the bolts that hold the motor/bell housing together, then quickly touch the neg. cable to the post on the starter...if this doesn"t turn it over, and the engine is free then ya know it"s a starter issue. Sometimes they get kinda tight from sitting or you might need a new solenoid.
If it does turn over it may just be wiring, but more than likely it"s the switch(es); The button you push on the starter switch activates a plunger that pushes against another plunger that activates the solenoid. There is a depth adjustment to make sure you get posotive connection when you push it. Semi regularly it is necessary to pull both out and clean and adjust them. The main switch simply unscrews from the top, the secondary is down behind the Pos/Neg terminal block, is held in via a plate with two bolts and comes out forward. Believe it or not, YSC (Yuppie Supply Co.) or NTSC (No Tractor Supplies Co.) usually has both parts in stock, at a reasonable price, AND they actually fit without modification. Remember, unless someone has swapped in an 8N motor at some point, all of your 2N parts will carry 9N designation...we have a guy at our TCS that regularly tells people there is no such thing as a 2N simply because all the parts listed are for eithert 9N or 8N. Enjoy your new lil buddy, it"ll do alot more than ya think, and it"ll get along real well with all those green ones ya have when they are parked together in that nice new shop of yours! Pete

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
