The connector on the red starter cable was not on properly it had corrosion between the cable and fitting on the starter end ,it was not snug and not crimped good on my 270 . After replacing the starter two times I finally discovered it. Hope this helps.
FINALLY got my 270 to start reliably! Get a gear reduction starter! Totally different machine! Takes way less juice to roll it over. I did have to lengthen the 3 wires that come together to the post by about 10" because the new starter has the post coming out the bottom. Also, had to relocate the breather for hyd reservoir. Totally worth it though
I've got a 270. Bought used recently. Intermittently would start but weak. I put a rebuilt starter on, needed anyway. Replaced battery which was old and too small. Still wasn't reliably starting without boost. I then took ALL the wiring apart and inspected it and found continuity at both ends, found the usually wear in places on insulation and patched accordingly. Still no joy but the blower fan woke up, yay small win. I added more grounds, replaced the ignition switch which had signs off getting too hot. No joy. It kept blowing fuses as fast as I could put them in. FINALLY I took the tops off the relays and one was melted out around the terminal that the purple wire comes into. I've got a TON of hours in this thing. Replaced about half hoses and rebuilt the hydraulic pump which was leaking horribly. If you ever take out the pump your hydraulic coupling which drives the pump from the flywheel is probably shot. I dont know how this one was still doing anything. OEM is black with 4 ears, replacment is blue with 6. If that thing quits you're stranded dead in water.
It's always something with older machines 🤣 of course we had John Deere out and the guy could not figure anything out but still try to charge over $200
There was allot of cussing... Fussing... Some blood and tears... Honestly I was so annoyed I couldn't even bring myself to record.. partly because it would have been so hard to film getting it in with the limited space, sorry I couldn't help ya out on that one but I think you can agree... It sucked 😂
I have a 250 I'm having the same issue with. I didn't see how you finally got it to crank to raise the booms? I have jumped from my dozer, from my tractor and still can't get it to crank. I also tried jumping the solenoid on starter and just get lights on dash to light and a very soft tick tick sound! I'm was down to thinking the Relay (Fuel, starter and accessories). I appreciate the video, not many out here on skid steers that I have found!!!
Hey there, I also have a 250 and am only getting a small click when trying to start. But it starts once in a blue moon randomly. I get all the lights turning on coils heat up and when turning the key only a small click from the starter. How did your turn out ?
I'm still fighting my 270. I have to park it with booms locked up next to a building with electric for my booster. I've no flipping clue. I've replaced starter, had alternator checked, replaced ignition, manifold heater solenoid, battery, fuses, fuse block, relays, bad wiring, grid heater switch. I don't frickin know, not funny anymore...

i would have loved to see how you did your starter. I just replaced my starter on a 240 and it was a bear.

If you have problems again, replace both battery wires.
You didn’t have to cut the cable all you had to do was take a hacksaw and go between the two ends and it would have tightened up for you
