I do not know if your tractor has the same wiring issue as some of the other smaller tractors. But is your starter motor ran threw the start switch? On the old site there was a wealth of info. about adding a dedicated relay for the starter, I know that fixed a start issue that I had.
remember to check voltages while under load, amp draw causes voltage drop, no load voltages will look ok.
yea that is a little to far , if all else fails you could provide a new hot to what is not getting power now, just remember to fuse it a little more than you think your demand might be.
where are you located I have something that might find the missing hot(or in this case not hot)
yes they are a pain that way but I have done it so often now usually I know just where to go to get it running. I just remember price was the reason why I bought 2 Chinese tractors and 50 hp and a 20 hp paid less for both than for one of a name brand tractor.
maybe nothing I would first check the grounds and the battery connections , sounds like a high resistance connection(got voltage but when applying a load no amps, voltage falls). There has been problems with the key switches even new. There was some old posts about taking the glow plugs and starter off the switch and putting them on dedicated relays . Those both are good ideas even if all you do is one you will benefit .
looks like you got a engine that will power the sawmill or emergency generator you always wanted.
tsc is ok we have a store in town but to me it has gotten more for the under 10 acre crowd. I wish we had a agri suppy co. local they surround me in n.c.,s.c. and ga. but none in tn. when I go to fl. I always stop at the ga. store they have a huge inventory and good prices to.
I think your best bet is to drain off a bit of oil and look at it, 90 weight gear oil smells and looks different than hydro oil and then there is the weight difference 90 vs. 10 wt. If you need gear oil I think that gl-4 is a good choice because it is yellow metal safe. I think I am safe in saying that if you have a common sump tractor aw- 32 or aw- 46 should be safe to use, that means your trans, rear end, power steering (if you have it) and hydro system all use the same oil. The front axle should be 90 wt. engine 15-40, but this is a guess.
