953 nut 51,775 #2 Posted October 12, 2017 The starter wiring passes through the PTO switch, could be it needs to be tightened up or replaced. Check out the wiring diagram. Tractor 1989 300 & 400-Series OM Wiring 810569R1.pdf 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OHRob72 88 #3 Posted October 12, 2017 I had a similar issue with one of my 416's. It was a bad PTO switch causing the problem. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OHRob72 88 #5 Posted October 13, 2017 You should not have to. I know a few others that had similar problems and it was the switch that was always the issue. Just to be sure you can test the wire and see if you have the correct voltage. but as 952 pointed out, make sure the wire is not loose before you test. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
