Just seeing if anyone has any ideas here, my tractor has an aftermarket compressor on it. Have one wire that’s been coming loose from the connector. Went to the parts store and guy had something different but said it would work. This morning before work I cut the old one off and wired up the new one, now my tractor won’t start not sure if it’s just a coincidence or if it’s something I did.

This is the original

This is the new one

Any advice or help would be appreciated

Possible the aftermarket black and green wire positions are switched. Maybe swap the black and green wires and try to start it?

Stupid question did you disconnect the battery before you cut the wire. Eric

Fuse?

Not sure about the wiring on that thing , but with some cars , if you have a fuseable link wire , you cannot replace it with a normal wire. Will not work. Also the fuseable wire can short internally with no visible damage.

A bit of a long shot perhaps to your application , but worth checking if you have that type of wire.

Thanks for the posts, my dad went over and tinkered with it this morning while I was at work, he finally got it started. He thinks it’s the starter solenoid and sounds like the timing was just a coincidence

I’ll take starter and solenoid off tonight when I finish baleing and have a guy near my work rebuild them

That white wire looks suspect to me like has been extra hot.

I agree with your Dad, coincidental. Drifter is correct too, white wire has been hot. Your ac clutch could be aged and drawing too much, or maybe a result of the deceased compressor.

That’s a thermal fuse for the a/c compressor.

Took the starter off and the solenoid, took it to a guy who rebuilds them. He put a new solenoid on it and had to do some work to the starter as well. Had it back in the field baleing Friday night, until she started leaking coolant. When it rains it pours….

Glad to hear ya got it going. If I can help shoot me a message. Been working on them green tractor most of my life.
