thinking about giving him a ring, need a 220 installed in the basement.

If the problem only started when the engine was cranked , it is likely a Main cable on starter after the solenoid (check glow plug wiring also), reverse polarity would be an instant problem and you'd notice it immediately. Sometimes fuse-links are used instead of H/D fuses.

always note position of cables and where pos and neg are as the old rule red is pos no longer applies as ground cables can be read also [ plonkers ] and if you need to hammer on ground connection,you are putting it on + connection which is larger.
