THANKYOU ALL. The 4400 is running again. It was the Neutral safety switch.

I was refering to the wrong diagram, this one seems more relavent. I plan to get back to it tomorrow, before things get too hot, it was almost 90 deg F here and over 85% humidity.

Thank you.

I may have the incorrect wiring diagram as I believe this diagram shows 3 red and 1 dark green wire coming from the key switch. But my switch has 4 reds a dark green and a white. How should I test the key switch?

Neutral safety switch seems to have been bypassed, I am looking through the manual at the moment trying to understand the wiring diagram to see if the pictured white wire below driver's seat on the left is the neutral safety wire. The picture is taken from behind the tractor to the left side.

So to me, this means the starter and solenoid do work, and the battery is good. While I was doing this I did have the ignition key in the run position, but the engine still did not start. I pulled the ignition key assembly out, then tried to test the white wire from the back of the ignition key...

So I finally got back to the Tractor with a load tester for the battery. Unfortunately the battery is good. I then ran a small wire from the Hot/Positive post on the starter to the exciter on the Starter solenoid where I had disconnected the white wire in photo from. This made the starter spin...

No crank, the starter does not turn at all

No arcing when I mistakenly touched, starter hot to ground. Sorry for the poor discription

I will load test the battery

Jumping the starter produces a decent spark, but no crank.

A friend has a John Deere 4400. A year 2000 model, so not antique but 22 years old. He is having trouble starting it. Turn the key and all that happens is a very soft Click from behind the dash. Battery has 12.7 volts and the same at the starter. Both the small white wire and the large terminal...

I am working on an 1100u which has been shuttle shifted forward to reverse at speed. Now it does not respond to the shuttle shift lever at all. Thoughts?

So a junior operator, who was going too fast in the 1100u went through a rough patch of ground and not wearing his seat belt got thown forward into the steering wheel. That taught him a lesson, but my problem is that he grabbed the shuttle shift and pulled it from forward to reverse. Now the...

I am trying to help out a friend with an older tractor a JX60. I know that the injection pump was recently rebuilt. Now it puts pressure into the power steering fluid tank. I ran it for a short time and could see the fluid shooting up into the tank like it was backing up from the pump. When I...

I posted here about replacing the engine in this ford tractor 1510 identified by one of the members here by numbers off the block I think. The plan was poor and never moved forward, however I have been offered help by a mechanic for a few weeks. If I can find the parts that are missing or not...

The rear view.

On the far side is a flat belt pulley, it has a Perkins L4 engine. But no other identifying marks where I have had the chance to look. What do yo think.

Is this threaded hole a port for something such as a temp sensor, or am I just feeling 50 years of rust and assuming its threaded?

I have the ferguson manual and both the Tef parts manual and the Haynes, but I cannot find a diagram of the internal workings of the Cav diesel injection pump. Like most of the rest of this tractor the diesel pump is part siezed. I say part because as I rotate the engine I can see the injection...

Can anyone tell me how much movement I should get in the vacuum pump belows on my Tef20's injection pump. Like everything else on the tractor the injection pump has seized. Using the manual I removed the governor from the drivers end of the injection pump and after a lot of soaking and very...

Photo before new parts

I have just installed an ignition tune up kit on my TEd20 First, I have never seen this tractor run. It was a seized rusted project when I got it. So the engine now turns by hand crank and on the electric starter. The only test I know for an electric coil is disconect the small wire from coil to...

Does anyone have a diagram or photos fo how the bucket connects to the loader arms and the crowd ram? My loader came without a bucket.

I have a faorly new to me 1951 Ted20. It took me a month to unsieze the engine. I cannot see how to drain the oil from the steering box, I do have the Ferguson and the Haynes manuals but feel that i am missing something basic, other than allowing it to leak out of the steering arm seals, How do...

I have a 1956 TEF currently a non runner. Can anyone tell me are the return fuel lines connector bolts from each diesel injector a generic item or when I loose them will I be up for complete new injectors. I notice that some are single return and some are double. Ive called them Banjo bolts in...

I finally got the time to actually start removing the head from my 1956 Tef. When I removed the tappet/rocker assembly, My first parts fatality occurred. One of the towers holding the rocker shaft in place has broken into 3 parts. Firstly what would you call this part and do you know if it is...

I have been waiting for my new to me seized engine in a Fergy Tef to release the easy way for nearly a month now, so i am preparing to pull the head off the diesel engine. Reading the manual it states that I will need a Service tool referred to as ftb 30 to get at head bolts below the rocker and...

I had a call from a friend at work today he was using the company's JX1100u and got this stop warning light. I sourced some info online for him, see second picture and told him to call the dealers network. Problem is the network service centre has shutdown for the Christmas Break. Can he fix...

Yes a definite increase in crank speed to get to the average power band on the petrol 2800 rpm if I remember, but this will do No Plowing or brush hogging any more, so I think lower revs producing less power from the car engine may be still in the safe zone. Problem is Think don't Know.

I have a Ford 1910 with the Shibaura 3cyl diesel. It has been trough a lot and the diesel has got to the point of being beyond repair. By me anyway. I'm looking for advice on possibly replacing the diesel with a cheap 4cyl petrol engine from a scrapped car. Has anyone seen this done or can you...

Little Ripper at work

Thanks Brad Looks like it will have to be a redesign like you suggest. I did make a 2 bolt attempt and that just sheared. So I will have to find a Pocket design to copy.

First the job. Soil improvement, time frame two years at most. I intend to build a house on a 2 acre bush block here in the dry tropics of Australia. The block is flat with only a few large trees that are native and a couple of hundred mahogany trees I put in over the last few years. The soil is...

Well spotted it is an Australian built A554 diesel. Can anyone tell me the start procedure if their is anything peculiar I should know?

Second photo

I just got sent a couple of pictures of a tractor for sale. Can any of you Identify it from these 2 photos?

My experience ha sbeen a positive one with Dong Feng about a year and a half ago I bought a ZB25 3 cyl diesel with 3in 1 bucket 5 foot slasher and PHD. I had been using my 1952 Fergy with a home made FEL. So 4 wheel drive and power steering are still a treat for me. 150 hrs on the clock and I...

It's been a long while since I posted here but you know how it goes , I was busy. I am getting ready to put in about a hundred mixed tees and plants and will be using my phd with a 6 inch auger to break into the hard dry clay. After the wet season it usually works ok, but for the other 9/ 10...

I have had to change the twin hydraulic ram system on the crowd function for the bucket to a single ram. I see that at full extention for dumping the ram flexes or bends slightly it is a 1 inch thick chrome shaft and it bends about a half inch over it's full length. Is this too much movement??
