Blanchester, OH | As with any solenoid, it's very important to have enough voltage to operate it properly. I would check voltage with an analog volt meter at the connections as close to the solonoid coil as possible. A digital meter won't respond fast enough to see if there is a momentary voltage drop below the operating threshold of the solenoid. My guess is that you will see a low voltage causing the solenoid to be sluggish. Then check the same wires closest to the tractor or power source and see if that voltage is not higher. If it is then you have a voltage drop that can sometimes be corrected by increasing the size of the wires feeding the solenoid. Voltage is pressure or push. The smaller or longer the wire the less pressure is available to do the work.
Another thing to look at would be the charging system on your tractor. Make sure it's putting out enough volts to begin with. You should see at least 13.5 up to maybe 14.75. Without that to begin with your system will give trouble.
