: Last time the tractor ran it was running perfectly
: went to start and nothing. The battery is good!
: the starter was working ferfectly. All you get is a
: clunk. I rocked the tractor to see if the starter had hung up with no results. I asked my wife if she heard any mettalic sounds (bearings) and she said the tractor was working perfectly, no strange sounds. She backed it into the shed and shut it off. I would appreciate any pointers.
: thanks!

I recently had a 46 H where the starter suddenly would not crank. Problem was the original 1 gauge cable from the starter switch to the starter post was badly corroded and finally would not carry enough current. Picked up a new 1 gauge 40 inch at NAPA for $11.
