Ground hopping my LDS - starter hookup issue
Almost there...
- want to hook up the tranny as well to test as a unit
- front engine mount and radiator mounted (no fan)
- will fill with water and Cascade for first run
- John Deere break-in oil 10W-30 standing by
Jumping the starter - here is where I would appreciate a look by more experienced guys/gals:
My plan (see image) is to use jumper cables as indicated and a big a** isolated screwdriver (or a jumper cable) between the two terminals on the starter solenoid:

Can you please confirm that this will result in the starter engaging and spinning the engine over? 2x12V truck batteries carry a lot of punch, the starter pulls a lot of amperage and I dont want to fry anything (including myself).
