I have a MF 30b industrial tractor. It has been sitting for about 7 years. Last month I had the starter turning the engine over. I dont have the key so I was jumping the solenoid with a screwdriver. Today I tried to do the same thing and got one click and now nothing. Before I look for a new starter Id like to make sure this one is bad.
If the starter is bad shouldnt the solenoid still click?
And if the solenoid is bad shouldnt I be able to bypass the solenoid and get it to crank?
Neither of these things are happening. What are the chances that both the solenoid and starter break at the same time?
I tried tapping the starter. Please help!!
