A good big old soldering copper is the way I resolder those studs. They realy consetrate the heat. I use my oxy-acetaline torch to heat it up. Make sure the wires are clean. Tining fluid is helpful.

HaycreekMN, you can do the job but you need to clean the wires of the cable by unwinding them a few inches and take a knife and scrape as much of the wire s as you can, twist them back up and dip the cable end in "cut" acid, then heat up and sop the solder to it. "Cut" acid is hydrachloric acid that has had zinc dissolved in it, an old zinc sealer lid will work, an ounce of acid and a piece of zinc, let the zinc dissolve and you will get a good solder job. "cut acid is really good for radiator work as well. Good luck from Mike in Exeter Ontario

I believe they use a much hotter solder than what you can do with a regular soldering iron. You might try one of those propane torch setups that you use for pipes. I had that problem with mine once, got the guy at the shop to tack it on. Then turned out the gear bit was screwed up as well. A new/rebuilt starter is usually ~$200, depending on the tractor. -Greg

I assume you are talking about the one that goes to the bolt where power goes into the starter? have done it but not a pretty picture. Heed a soldering iron or something to put heat on a large area. I changed mine from the old lever push button top of the starter to a regular bolt with a solenoid and push button start. I think I may have resorted to using a oxy/acetelyne torch with small tip and heating sparingly
