[QUOTE="cornstalk, post: 474920, member: 911"] [/quote]That deal in those kits to get the battery hooked parallel is poor at best. That connection is always going bad ( dirty). I would clean that and see if that solves the slow cranking speed. I don't know how that disconnect works , but generally speaking the more connections you have the harder it is to keep working. On one of ours I had a new cable made up and on the other one I just took two cables all the way to the starter. Sorry about your trouble I know it gets confusing, but at least it is easier than that old 24v system. Larry[/quote] Didnt seem to bad - but maybe I didnt do correctly? The kit allowed me to utilize the two existing positive cables- I eliminated the cable that went from neg to neg on the previous system and used the two included brand new negative cables and just went from terminal to tractor frame. In short - Both positive terminals are now going to the starter - and both negative terminals are grounded to the tractor frame. Again - thanks for the ideas. Picked up a new switch just a few minutes ago - will install this afternoon. Will at least eliminate that possibility. [/QUOTE]
