I got a 6060 Ive messing with that will sometimes -click- a couple times before it starts, the selonoide is a couple years old, I put another starter on it with a new selonoide and the same thing, doesnt do it all the time just every now and then ; I cleaned up the connections on the clutch safety switch, but I guess it could be the switch its self ; anyone ever deal with this ??? T he key switch has been replaced a couple years ago when I put the new selonoide on , they should last longer than a couple years I hope

My neighbors 6080 does something similar. You have to push down on the PTO lever. Could be a safety switch..

My 6080 does the same thing, very aggrivating. Sometimes I have to jump power from the battery terminal to the solenoid terminal to get her to crank over. I am leaning toward the key switch myself.

There are 2 safety switches for the PTO. One on the right side of the torque tube and the other is just beside the left axle. Replace them both - they are cheap. Should help.

If you are getting the click at the starter than the safety switches are working as once you have power to the "s" terminal on the starter and the solenoid closes, the power to turn the starter comes directly from the battery. Are you using New starter or reman unit.? My recommendation would be to run a new cable from the neg batt terminal right to either the starter ground terminal or the mounting flange. Might already have a dead spot in this new starter as they do not like high amp starts for very long. Good luck!

In my liftime, clicks like that have always indicated its time to clean the battery posts.

hot battery, new hot cable made from 1/0 welding cable, new battery ends on both cables, cleaned bolt and mounting surface where ground wire mounts, pulled starter off and had it gone through by reputable shop (new bushings, turned armature, new brushes, new solenoid), all connectios on starter cleaned and tightened.
I can take and short the hot post on the starter to the solenoid and she will crank just fine everytime.
Using the key switch it will click very loud like it is trying to engage but just does not.
Sometimes it hits on the first turn of the switch and sometimes several and sometimes it just will not.
IDEAS!?!?!?!

you may can Bypass the switchs and see if it will crank, if not I would pull the cap off the Solenoid and check the contact post and pluncler

I have seen this problem with the 6060/6080 and with older tractors & trucks that are wired to carry the solenoid load from the key switch throught the safety switches to the solenoid. Want happens is the harness wires and or connectors get corroded up inside side the insulation causing a voltage drop or (click) when you hit the key switch. Check the voltage at the switch and then at the solenoid with wire disconnected. There should be less then a 2 volt drop. A simple solution is to remove the load from the harness and swithes by installing a slave soleniod by the starter witch will carry the load. The slave sol is actuated by the key and safety swithes . The starter sol.can require 40 to 60 amps at times to give it a good engagement. A starter sol. for a D 17 makes a good slave for this problem. Make sure your switches and connections are in good shape. I have seen this problem cause alot of unnessessary starter repair. Good Luck Ben

I had touble with a 6060 and also 185 starters and was told the very same thing by the starter shop that Ben said. Those extra connections and smaller long wires will sure zap the voltage going to the solenoid and if you are getting a good start by jumping (bypassing) the circuts, the extra soleniod bypasses helps. Not something new, some semi trucks already have that. As stated earlier, check your voltage to the small wire on the starter solenoid. That will tell the story. I have a diagram of this somewhere but maybe someone else can post it on here. Steve

That sounds more right to me. I think there are four safety switches on it and that amounts to a bunch of little wires, connectors, and switch contacts. I will check the voltage drop first to see what is going on there.
Thanks for the input, I knew I could count on you fellas.

It can also be a burned contact in the solonoid. It was in my Case 930.

Mine did it right from the rebuilder and it got a new solenoid, stood there and watched him rebuild it from start to finish.

mine did the same thing and has a nippondenso stater, it was the copper contacts in the solenoid.... it draws more and more thru a smaller piece of copper over time and in the end jams on! something for people to check anyway

Just wire in a delco remy relay into the wire from the key (start position) to the solenoid. They can be found under the hood of a lot of older dodge (shadow, Kcar, Lebaron, Acclaim...). Did this about 20 years ago to my 6060 and have never had a problem starting since. Wish I would have figured it out before Dad dropped a battery through the rad core the second time changing "bad" batterries......
I had only 7 volts at the solenoid before I wired in the relay. Now when I check it I always have the same as the battery's.
