Recommended Posts

314 Hydro does not want to start. Battery is fine. Every time I try to start it blows a fuse. Any suggestions on what to check?

It sure sounds like you have a direct short somewhere. 

Does the starter turn over any? or does the fuse pop immediately? 

Remove the cable to the starter, then connect an automotive jumper cable to  the battery positive.  Now just quickly touch the other end of that cable to the starter lug  to see if it will run the starter motor. (Do not try to start the tractor )..   

if the started does nor run its time to pull the starter to test more, If the starter runs, move to the wiring.   Someone will be along with a wiring diagram which will help you trace things out. .

Start by following your large cables from the battery to the solenoid and the solenoid to the starter and look for arc marks. make sure there is not any rubbed through spots in the insulation that can touch metal and short out. Then move to the smaller wiring and  do the same thing, looking for arc marks and or worn through insulation.

Welcome to Red Square.

 

If we had a model number and serial number we should be able to produce a good wiring diagram.

Thank you so much! The fuse pops immediately. I will go go through all this on the tractor today.

Thanks for the all the help! It ended up that the wire for the lights needed a little repair. All is running good  now.
