Starting problem
 

On my 2072 the blue wire going into the back of the plug on the ignition switch seems to be loose. The tractor does not crank. If I push on wire it cranks. I have cleaned the plug and also put some dielectric grease but I still have to push. Whats the fix.

They are not that expensive, I would just replace it.

It is not the switch it is in the plug.

No, it's the switch. Loose terminal. When you push on it it makes contact.

I should have been more clear, he was talking about the plug so I just thought he would think I meant to replace the plug.

Jonathan I thought the same thing so I pulled the switch out of my other 2072 which works fine and I have the same issue. If I put a little pressure on the blue wire just behind plug it cranks. Then I put the switch from the one not working into the second 2072 and it works fine.

Those Ebay deals are pretty good. I like the one with the pig tail.

I purchased these before.

Got to be a bad connection between the terminal and the wire. Get it apart and crimp/solder it.

Fair enough. Get a pigtail then! :beerchug:
