gen starter

[Gregory OConnor]

Skid steer Tractors are notorious for requiring removal of several components
to get to the one you need to give attention to. When I cant get to a starter
on a tractor that needs some attention I take a digital picture of it with a
camera sent in with a long arm and use the image to make test or removal plans.
(CurtS gave this camera tip here on this forum 4 years ago) Diesel motors
require major compression to overcome to make it start. if the batteries are
down or not making good contact it might not have enough guts to even turn and
all you will hear is a click and burning noise as the brushes become screwed up.

With a picture you could find the power line in and test voltage of the cable
loop then test voltage of the top of +bolt/stud it is attached to. if the stud
reads less voltage it is a bad connection at that point. some times you need to
turn the key and test voltage on both to see that they drop the same. many
starters do not use the mounting bolts to make a ground and require a ground
strap
