I would love some insight as to what my problem is. I just replaced the starter on my loader. My loader is D20S-5 Model 50540. I had to replace the starter because a wire came off of the relay on the old starter. After I replaced the starter I tried to start it and I am getting nothing. Not a click, not a slow start... nothing. I jumped the starter yesterday to make sure the starter was good and it started right up by jumping. After I got it started I shut it back off but I noticed the starter and the starter solenoid both were HOT!!!! I mean super hot. Questions are :
What would make them get so hot?
What would not allow me to the starter to turn over after installing the new one. Battery Voltage is fine. Is there a diode on the alternator that could cause these issues? I can't find any schematics on this loader anywhere. I am guessing the relay attached to the starter solenoid is the safety relay tied in with the alternator. Would a bad diode on the alternator allow the starter to jump start and get super hot like it did? I am scratching my head here. Thanks in advance!!!
