[QUOTE="sahmwh, post: 31179, member: 2858"] All, It was cold yesterday when I attempted to start my 743b ('92, 3000 hours). When I first tried it, it turned over and even started and ran rough for about 5 secs before stopping. But then the battery got weak and wouldn't turn it over. I then tried jumping it from my truck ... it turned over some (although very slowly) but never ran. I disconnected the jumper cables and used a battery charger in "start-boost" mode. Now, nothing happens. I measure the voltage on the battery and was getting 12-13 volts. I noticed then that when I would turn the started key to the left (to warm the glowplugs)I could hear a faint click like a relay kicking in and then another faint click like the relay letting go. And when I turned the key to the right when I normally hear a distinct click, nothing happened (completely silent) ... needless to say, the engine never turned over. Isn't there a relay (or two) in the starter circuitry ... could that have gone bad ? If anyone can help, I would appreciate it (my cows are getting hungry). Thanks, Roger [/QUOTE]
