89 MJ Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 I bought a brand new starter solenoid for my snow blower tractor, installed it, cranked the engine over, all seemed good. I went to clear snow with it 2 days later and the brand new starter solenoid had failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 I installed a different starter solenoid, and it is still not cranking. I will need to do some more digging a different day. I am assuming either this new starter solenoid (different brand before) is also bad, I must have broke a wire when I was hooking stuff back up.

MiNi Beast Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 better check the fuse/fuselink as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 check the starter with battery direct or take it back to auto store to run a test on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I think my issue was that I didn’t have the parking brake set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 A fuel pump went out in one of the tractors. I replaced it with another OEM one that I had, but it leaks, so a fuel pump rebuild is coming soon. And I think they both are leaking hydraulic fluid.

89 MJ Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hmmmmm, I have a very nice tractor that doesn't run great, an ok tractor that runs great, and an extra 4.0 that I need to put a new crank in. Anyone want to see me 4.0 swap one of these (the less nice one) come spring or summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Did the old swaparoo from winter to spring by putting the tiller on the nicer tractor. They both were parked for a few months and fired right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Well, I sold the less-nice tractor today. I really didn’t need it. It was nice to have when we were doing some projects, but we don’t do a ton of projects where we need two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 After I sold one, I was given a G14XL by the neighbor. It currently isn’t running, but that will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 This tractor has just been a solid workhorse for the last few years. The original choke cable broke earlier this spring, so that needed replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
