looking for someone that can help troubleshoot a small mid 80s diesel tractor. Mitsubishi MT33
Father bought it from my uncle in NY, pulled it off the trailer, parked it, and it sat a month or 3. Now it won't start... I had it at my house on the trailer and it fired right up no issues.
Battery seems to be good as it will arc off on the starter when bypassing the solenoid. I think it may even be a brand new battery if I remember correctly. However, the bendix doesn't seem to be engaging, just spinning...
Lights won't turn on
Ignition won't even activate the solenoid (not even any clicking) or anything.
I'm no mechanic and I hate messing with electrical (and i live 4hrs away). And, my father has less desire and knowledge of it than I do.
Given that, he is looking for someone that wants a few extra $ to troubleshoot and fix the issue. It would be nice if someone is somewhat familiar with tractors to go through and check everything out good so there is less of a chance of issues.
Tractor is in Hickory.
Message me or post with some insight as to who may be able to help out that is reasonable.
