Let me start by saying I am carp at auto electrics but here goes.

My in laws have an old wheel horse tractor which will not crank, I have tested all of the switches ignition, safety switches etc and they all seem okay.

I have a Sealey PP1 and if I energise the 3 pole solenoid with this it cranks over, however I am showing negative at the small connection from the ignition switch on the solenoid, is this indicating some kind of a short?

Any suggestions of a way forward would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Try running a jumper cable from the ignition switch to the solenoid. This is often quicker than a continuity test on the cable.
