Bad connection or maybe the fusible link opened. The wire wiggling enabled enough current to pass to run the indicator lights but not starter relay.

What do you call the guy who graduates from medical school 300 out of 300 in his class? Doctor. Might have the alternators checked by a different shop.... That and double check all of your grounds....

I do not know the exact weight but it is a minimum 2-man operation (or some kind of hoist arrangement). More awkward that heavy.

This is the newly installed mount. I used the 5/16-18 nutserts from Grainger (wide flange). I used the size Z drill bit. I set them with a grade 8 bolt, a 1/2" nut and some star washers. The hardest part was to get the nutsert to start collapsing, once it started all went well.

Motor locked? Can you turn the motor by hand or by wrench?

Looks good!

Thank you for kind words. Being an electrician who has had to go back years later to modify what I had originally installed I like lots of extra wire. It doesn't look good but it is much easier to cut off than to stretch. At some point I assume I will install something else and will probably...

The outside.

I finally finished (mostly) installing my amateur radios in the M1009. For power I ran a #6 copper wire from the negative post on the back battery through a water resistant fuse holder (60A) to a section of 100A neutral bar (from a power panel) mounted under the radio bracket above the 24V...
