Since we are talking JD tractors I figured it's a good time to throw this in.
The started on my 7400 clicks when the key is turned on and sometimes you have to turn it quite a few times to get it to start. Sometimes it seems you have to hold the key on and wait a couple seconds before it will engage.
The colder it is the less likely it is to start at all. The batteries are testing 12.66 and 14.5. Think it could just be batteries?
Changes the solenoid last year and thought it helped for a bit but went back to doing the same thing. It always started last summer even it took a couple turns of the key, not so now.
