    You should ground the starter to the metal casing not the solenoid terminal. That terminal is to connect the positive to the motor whenever the solenoid is engaged. What you have done is to get the solenoid to connect the positive to the negative every time you engage the solenoid with the wire.. That could also fry the battery. The correct way is to connect the negative to the metal body of the starter and the positive to the solenoid terminal that does not have the rubber cover . Please check that the starter maybe a 24V one.

      That is obviously a Delco style 12v alternator, so would be a 12v system. Therefore the batteries should be wired in parallel for 12v out @ double the amps.

    The machine is from the mid 1980s thru mid 1990s and it’s about a 25000lbs machine. Also I think it’s a 24 volt system. Can’t wait for next video

    Nothing much better than 2 best of friends sitting on a machine someone else was disgusted with, halfway taken apart either in-between breaking it and fixing it or just plain old forgotten about and given up on. Thank you for not giving up, doing the right thing knowing that starter was already shot (not at the end yet, but I'm a guessin')
    edit: I'll come back to see part 2!! I promise!

  • @brandonmortenson646
    @brandonmortenson646 Рік тому +4

    I'm sure you don't run the ground to that starter lug it's grounded by chassis. The lugs on the starter are for positive lead and accessories only no ground. Then you have the signal wire from cab to spade terminal on starter.

    When you were working on the nests in the engine compartment, and reminiscing upon life. I couldn't help but notice all the trees and bushes getting in the way, which you hadn't cut down... Reminded me of when we worked in the Sahara Forrest....
    The final bit with the starter... You wired the battery across the solenoid contacts, so when the solenoid operated, you were shorting out the battery. You needed to connect the negative cable to the metal case of the starter, not the solenoid contacts. Also remember that you need to earth the metal of the machine, not the paintwork.

    Ground goes to where the starter bolts to the engine and the pos to the terminal then connect the little wire to the pos and it will work fine if you didn't fry it by grounding the other pos terminal when you grounded it. Most likely its still good. Whenever you see a plastic insulator around a terminal it most of the time a pos.

  • @whjr1688
    @whjr1688 Рік тому

    You had start connected wrong. You had positive connected to one side of solenoid and ground connected to the other side of solenoid, so when you energized the solenoid it crated a direct shot across solenoid. Should connect positive to one side off solenoid and ground starter case.

  • @user-rn5xh3gq8c
    @user-rn5xh3gq8c Рік тому

    It is a 24 volt system.... hook positive off one battery to negative on other battery with jumper and use positive off other to hook to starter and other battery ground to ground on machine which makes 24 volts wired in series.....starter is barely working because it only has half the voltage to it, power not coming on due to only half the needed voltage
