You will have to undo those connections that are corroded with the help of a wrench or screwdriver. All of the cables that you read about should be checked thoroughly and if you find any corrosion or severe dirt, clean it up, but before that, disconnect the battery. You should find two wires attached to the solenoid in which one brings a connection from the starter motor, and another one is from the battery.Īnother thin wire should be coming from the ignition key that activates the solenoid when the engine is in the start position. The solenoid is a small cylinder that is attached to a lawn tractor frame.

The battery part can be located beneath the operator’s seat in the engine compartment, and the starter motor should stay mounted on the side of the engine. Check all the connections meticulously, and you may find some connections that could be affected by corrosion, and this problem is sometimes the real cause of why your engine won’t start. To ensure that wires and cables are working properly, you will have to test whether each connection between the solenoid, battery, and starter is proper or not. It is important to have all the electrical wires and cables working correctly to establish the proper connection. If you do not have a voltmeter, you can buy it from Amazon. This is the way to test the starter solenoid of your tractor that lacks the volts to start. Now, if you see the reading is lower than 12.5 volts, it means that your battery needs to be charged. Now, touch the red lead of your voltmeter with a positive post of the battery and let the black lead connect with the battery’s negative post.

Now you need to check the battery’s charge level, and for that, you will be required to have a voltmeter. I have already mentioned that the battery needs to be working correctly and should be charged enough. You will get to know about those tools further in this article. Testing the starter solenoid of your tractor is not a difficult job if you are equipped with some essential tools required in the testing process.
