1965 Ford 3000 Starter Problems

[Soundguy]

ps.. the points and coil change are only because they may be thermall damaged. if it starts and runs ok.. you can hold off ont he points and coil.

if it clicks alot. take a sewing needle and push thru the 2 wires coming out of the trans top.. if that helps.. the NS switch is getting flaky. sometimes playing with the gear range lever gets it to find a better connection when trying to start..

Go ahead and replace that key switch. Had similar problem last year with an IH tractor.

why does my ford 3000 tractor stay running after I kook up the battery befor I turn the key switch on

hmm.. trying to decipher that message.

you say that your tractor stays running after you hook up your battery? ( how did it run before you hooked up a battery? ) and before you turn the key switch on.

That really just doesn't make sense.

How about you , repost, that question, use a couple extra words, since they are free. Also provide some extra info:

Is this a gas 3000?

Does this gas 3000 have an alternator?

Does this gas 3000 with alternator start and run fine, but will not shut off with the key once started, and instead you have to disconnect the battery and alternator to kill it?
