Theres only about £10 cost difference between a genuine and non genuine one for perkins and Ford if your buying from the right places!
Starter motor just clicks.

Can you think of any right places we could buy one from?

I supply genuine iskra/mahle starters. Many to members on here. Not just for handlers but tractors too.
I was running a pop up add on here but I think that must have run its cause now?

Thanks for that, I will get one from you next time I need one.
I put an Iskra starter on my IH 475 and now it starts straight away even in winter. With the old starter it would be grinding over and belching smoke for ages. Money well spent.

If it starts every time when you hot wire the small solenoid terminal, I'm afraid its not the starter?
If it is please someone explain it to me?
The new starter might need less current to work the solenoid, leaving it look like a bad original starter?
You have a voltage drop on the small control wire for whatever reason.
But you know best, just a suggestion ............

I never even read the original post fully IMO
So yes he has a bad power supply to the solenoid. Lucas starters still though
i do believe this was stated many posts ago
By which time you will need a new solenoid as contacts will be burnt!
Usually just replace the end cap.

Just mentioning the fact that a high resistance in the starter caused a fire which consumed my late lamented UTB Admittedly the engine was covered with about an inch of chaff/dust/ diesel & oil leaks as well, but it certainly opened my eyes as to how a simple nuisance that you just put up with due to laziness can turn into something rather more

When new, there was a deflector plate to run spilt fuel clear of the starter, but this made filter changes awkward, so was soon removed and placed in the bin.Just mentioning the fact that a high resistance in the starter caused a fire which consumed my late lamented UTB
