The picture you posted of you screen looked as if it may have been clogged with brake lining material. If so it is probably clogged again. If you clean it again, spread some aout on a white towel and post a picture of it. May be able to identify it better. You do need to drain all oil to remove...

The codes given are for two sensors that are right next to each other. Since codes were not there previous to repairs, my first guess would be harness was damaged since wiring to each run together in harness, or the sensors could have been damaged. one sensor is three pin connector and other one...

If the rubber boot and plunger in your existing solenoid are good, you can remove the solenoid and leave the plunger/link assembly attached to the pump. That eliminates the need to remove the pump to install. Has worked for me a few times when customer was trying to save some labor costs. I hate...

I wish you luck on your repair. I have doubts it will be repairable from the top cover, but possible. The 5m transmissions are very labor intensive if transmission needs to be removed. They have been reliable, but expensive when they do need work. The park should have held without damage in the...

I am really surprised it doesn't store a code when it stops and red light comes on. Does it do it while moving or only after a direction or gear change? Always forward or sometimes reverse as well? The more detail you can give as to when and how it happens can help. Does it happen on level...

Since the new battery is testing ok, I assume the alternator is keeping it charged properly. First, I would be sure all hydraulics are in neutral. No levers sticking. Also try lowering the hitch when cranking to be sure hitch is not in relief. You can try attaching a jumper cable from positive...

You said lights come on. Does this include the lights in instrument cluster? Have you checked for blown fuses?

Neutral switch is on right side of transmission. Item "S" on diagram.

Not sure what tractor you are replacing, but the 5M series have a considerable better hydraulic capacity than the 6D. They also offer some nicer transmission options for the application you will be using it for. The 6D is a simpler more basic design, but depending on what you were used to...

Is the small plastic line connected to the top of the steering pump? Make sure it is there and not kinked somewhere restricting flow of oil. Oil needs to have free flow back to sump through this line or it can cause seal to blow out. Also try unhooking that line and hook a small hose to it and...

With 0 volts to starter when key is turned to start, that means you still have a bad connection, or a bad cable. If you have jumper cables, try connecting one of the cables from positive battery terminal to big post on starter. See if anything improves. If so, then positive cable is bad. If no...

1966 Rowcrop 4020 with LP Gas engine.

Most likely electrical/electronic issue. Do you know how to read codes? Error codes should be stored that will help pinpoint problem. under left cowling cover is the fuse panel. Depending on your serial number, there is either a diagnostic switch that needs to be activated or a diagnostic fuse...

Diesel fuel from 1972 was a totally different product than the ultra low sulfur fuel of today. The older fuel was much more stable and had longer shelf life.

I will start out by saying Al engines have their own “normal “ operating characteristics. Some smoke more than others and some have higher or lower oil pressures that are considered normal. I am a JD tech, so not familiar with your model Ford. The slobbering and smoke on this one may be unburnt...
