1845 problem

They are not too hard to replace. There are videos on YouTube.

Yes, I agree the replacement isn't that hard, but I think that it has a needle threading aspect to it.

@ernemats here is the replacement video that I found most helpful;

The differences in the solenoids;

All the best,

Finally got it up and running , put new fuel shut off solenoid and wiring harness on it seems to run fine only problem is it sometimes trips the circuit breaker on the dash, Terry thinks alternator is going bad. checked voltage at battery with tractor running and it showed 14.25 volts Terry said it should only be about 12.8 or so

Congratulations on getting it running again.

I defer to Terry, but there might be other things as well. Those pop out circuit breakers are neither especially reliable nor waterproof. The non-OEM fuel shutoffs do draw more power so you may have more load than you had. So I am not sure that I would rush to blame the alternator at 14.25V. The normal range is 13.8 to 15 for a lead acid battery set up. If it were me, I might test the voltage / current various places to perhaps get some insights as to the source of the load.

I would also double check the wiring and connector at the alternator.

All the best,

Peter

My alternator has always been on the high side, around 14.5V. Even the replacement alternator ran this high. One battery actually got boiled.

Does your circuit breaker ever trip and have to be reset

It has happened a few times over the years.
