Iseki Starter Clicks Problem

My starter won't turn over. It only clicks. I know the battery and the starter are both working. Do you think think this is a glow plug problem?

How do you know the starter and the battery are good?

Clicking to me means that the pull in solenoid on the starter motor may not have enough power to engage the flywheel.

That can be caused by weak battery, bad connection, bad solenoid .... ....

Just FYI, Iseki is Japanese - not Chinese. But starters are starters. Yours sounds like a connection problem. Start at the (-) post of the battery and follow the cable to where it bolts to the frame. Remove the bolt. Clean the lug and grind the frame down till you see the gleam of bare metal. Don't bolt it back on yet.

Remove the other end, clean both the post and the connector. Don't reconnect it yet. Remove the (+) cable from the battery. Clean the post and connector. Don't reconnect it yet. Go to the other end of the (+) cable and remove the nut and washer. Clean the connections.

Make sure the tractor is in neutral. Recommect in this order: (+) cable starter end, then (+) cable battery end, then (-) frame end, finally (-) cable battery end. Weatherproof all four connections. Try starting the tractor again. If that doesn't do it, we can move on to the keyswitch-solenoid circuit.

I had the battery tested and fully charged. After the tractor still wouldn't work I pulled the starter and had it looked at by a mechanic who told me "it was working just fine for him". I think maybe I need a second opinion on the starter.
