The starter solenoid will have:
1. a large cable coming from the positive terminal on the battery. Likely some smaller wires on this same large terminal.
2. a large cable going to the starter.
3. at least 1 small wire, on a small terminal, that comes indirectly from the start terminal of the key switch...
IF you jump across the small terminal to the battery side of the starter solenoid the engine is apt to crank over... IF the key is in the 'ON' position when you crank the engine, it is apt to start... IF it starts and is in gear, or has the pto on, someone is apt to get ran over... & IF all the above mentioned happens, whoever happens to get ran over is apt to get hurt, or mowed..... SO be careful when doing things that you are not 100 percent sure of the outcome... :smile:KennyV
