[QUOTE="Eric, post: 3462, member: 108"] Its probably a bad connection on the battery cables or a bad battery cable. Trust me, this one killed about 4 hours of work trying to figure this out on my 763. I thought it was the starter because the battery was testing at 13 to 14 volts but the machine would not start. The battery cables felt tight and where not loose. I tried swapping out the starter but had the same problem. So I spoke with a tech at the local dealer. He said its a bad cable or connection. So sure enough, I start trying to pull the cables off the battery and they are really stuck on there and access is tight. I finally get the positive cable off and it had been frozen on there from corrosion. The positive cable terminal was really corroded. I tried cleaning it but the corrosion ate away to much material to get a tight fit back on the battery post. So I bought a new cable and put some dielectric grease on the connecting parts to deter future corrosion. This fixed the problem. Also, if the terminal doesn't look to corroded it may be bad in the actual cable material inside the plastic coating. [/QUOTE]
