Tried to start my JD450B after it sat for 2 months. Turned over a few times, battery died. Charged it hit the starter button, nothing. Put the charger on 200 amp boost, nothing.It has a key and starter button. When I hit the button, amp guage shows a draw. Put the jump cable directly on the solenoid with good ground, nothing. Took the solenoid off, took the cap off, cleaned the copper all up, wd40-ed everything. Putsolenoid back on, hit the button, nothing. Guage on dash still shows draw when I hit the button. Lights work so I,m pretty sure battery connections are good. Strter is fairly new (200 hours ago) It's a real bi%^h to change and expensive so I'm hoping it's something else. Would the amp guage show a draw if the starter button was bad and not the solenoid? Wouldn't the sloenoid at least click if it was OK and the starter was bad? Thanks for any input. Gus
