I'm not the most mechanical but hopefully someone can help.
Today I was plowing and the Bobcat suddenly shut down as I was lifting a load of snow to dump. I checked the voltage from the battery to the solenoid and then to the starter, everything was good. It was just make humming type sound coming from what appeared to be the starter. I took off the flywheel cover and physically rotated the flywheel. Also, I physically rotated the starter teeth gears. I tired again and it started. I quickly got it in the shed and shut it off. A few minutes later, I turned the key and now absolutely zero power, the volt meter is off, no lights, no noise, no clicking, ….nothing. Battery is good and cable connections seem to be tight and in order.
Any suggestions?
If a starter goes out, shouldn't I still get some power when I turn the key? Maybe ignition switch?
Thanks in advance!
