   electrical problems are not my specialty so any help will appreciated. tractor will not always start with the key so I need to use a screwdriver at the solenoid to start. seems to be worse in cold weather thanks. Eric

   On the one I had, a wire was always coming loose under the dash.  Right hand side.  Just enough room to reach up and fix.  Been too long to remember what it attached too.  Any way it was just eaiser to jump the solenoid.  Also good way to theif proof.
