So I have a 743b had it for many years always a hard starter but would always start.
Loaned it to a freind and it came back hard as hell to start. Swears he didn't use ether and I told him
Not to use ether. But litterally a couple hours messing w it w new glow plugs and it just wouldn't start
But while cranking it to start the starter stopped working
Turn the key nothing. No click nothing. Red Light at right side does dim though.
If I jump 12 volts from
Battery to excite terminal on starter (w 12 gauge wire) it'll kick the bendix out but won't turn the engine.
If I put a jumper cable directly to starter it will turn but dragged.
So I changed the starter.
Turn the key, won't crank or click or do anything. Red light dims.
Jump from 12 volts on battery w 12 gauge jumper wire, bendix kicks but starter won't turn.
Didn't try the jumper cables yet direct to starter.
I did turn the engine by hand w a wrench and it's not locked or anything.
Any thoughts?
Also anyone know how to remove the plastic surround around the. Key switch? I don't w at to break it trying to get it apart.
