No offense at all. I've nearly conceded defeat on this one. My pride has a hard time quitting.
I have no way to get this tractor to a repair shop. So I guess I'll have to fork over the cash for a service call.
With all of this, I have the tractor turning over and high pressure fuel to the rail...
I have checked all fuses. None are blown. I can find no mention of a fuel solenoid in the operator's manual or the shop manual. Where might it be located?
I did follow the instructions for priming the fuel system.
Sadly, my frustration got the best of me. In an attempt to ensure there was no...
No doubt. Who would have thought leaving the key on would cause so many issues.
I'm sure it doesn't help that I have zero experience with diesel engines. Gas engines are no problem. But diesels run off of voodoo magic.
Again, I am grateful for everyone's help and suggestions.
I know it's been a while. But here's the latest.
I took the battery and had it checked. It is good. I had the starter rebuilt, so it is good
I also replaced the battery terminal.
She now cranks, well, she turns over. Now I can't get her to fire.
I disconnected each injector 1 at a time and used...

I will test the battery soon and let you know what I discover.
Thanks for the replies.
The first time I jumpered the starter was on the tractor. It did spin good that one time. After having repaired the other issues in the starting circuit, it will not turn the engine over.
I do not have the equipment needed to load test the tractor battery. It is a wet...
That is my starter. I have " jumpered" it. The solenoid engages but doesn't spin the engine. I removed the starter and tried it on the bench. All seems to work fine on the bench. I'm wondering if the starter could just be weak.
My system is indeed a "one shot" type. I have to turn the key off...
It's been a while since I posted. So, here is an update.
I found the transmission shuttle switch was bad. After replacing it, the starter now clicks once when I try to start the tractor.
I removed the starter and tested it on the bench. When I connect it to a battery it engages and spins. When I...
My son used my New Holland TS125a for some field work and forgot to turn the key completely off when he parked it. He left the key in the "accessory" position. (It's very easy to do on this tractor.) Anyway, I went to start it 2 days later and, of course, the battery was dead. I attempted to...
