With new battery starter does nothing.
What gives?

 

[dware]

It started a few times then nothing, battery fully charged.

 

[jlspicer]

Safety switches? PTO switch bumped? If it worked fine, then all the sudden nothing, I always check safety switches to make sure a wire didn't come loose, the safety switch didn't go bad, or the PTO switch isn't on. Next, check the ground(s), especially on the diesels.

Jumper the solenoid trigger wire to the positive battery post, if it turns over, then you have a bad circuit, not a bad starter.

 

[digger]

Do like I do, have someone hold the key on, shove your hand in and start wigglin wires, LOL

 

[dware]

I failed to mention that the starter is a new high speed starter . When we get out of the refrigerator I will try suggestions.
Thanks all.

David W.
Did you mean high torque?
I hope you didn't buy it off greedbay. ;-(

 

[dware]

High torque / speed kubota/ denso

 

[sblunier]

I assume you mean the upgraded gear reduction starter?

 

[dware]

Yes it is actually a high speed starter motor that has a gear reduction drive for higher torque than the standard starter.

I picked my el-cheapo gr starter off of the bay for my 882 5 years ago for $90 shipped to my door and couldn't be happier. What's wrong with them?

As others have said, check to see if you are getting 12v on the solenoid. Mine has a bad connection somewhere and I only get 9v so I keep a jumper near by to start.

It's a case of buyer beware .

 

[sblunier]

Again, jumper wire to solenoid to prove starter function, then start working back through the wiring.

 

[dware]

Turn on and light and fuel pump work , amp meter shoes discharge. Turn switch to start and all cease even amp meter .

 

[sblunier]

Check out key switch functionality, they carried a lot of current due to the direct wired glow plugs and go bad on occasion.

 

[dware]

I had the switch out and all contacts showed continuity with a fluke meter .

 

[dware]

Where is the safety switch that is between the pto switch ado the starter solenoid.

 

[rwagner]

Have you checked circut breaker ? Just a idea

 

[dware]

Tractor will start if jumped from battery to solinoid .

 

[rwagner]

Have you made any progress on your starting problem ? You can look at the wiring diagram on this web site, by the way thanks guys!! The start wire is the red one on the back of ignition switch,check for voltage there when in start position,from there it go's to amp gauge then to circuit breaker then to start terminal on starter.good luck
