2003 TC30 Won't Start

[gengine]

The timer relay is only activated by the seat switch. If you hit a bump and your rump leaves the seat, it buys you a moment to get back onto the seat switch before killing the engine. With the seat switch bypassed, that relay now does nothing...unless the seat switch bypass has failed.

Thanks for this reply...... I did find the Timer Relay fits New Holland T2310 T2320 TC25 TC29 TC30 TC33 TC33D TC35 TC40 TZ24DA 1530 SBA385870301 fits Ford SBA385870301 fits Case IH SBA385870301 ..... I have an inquiry in to see if it can be used as a replacement. Pin configuration is different. Will keep posted. I am determined to not get jammed by NH. If need be I will attempt to bypass all of these

Have to say I am pretty pissed with NH.....

Look at these two links and examine the pictures and the pricing!

New Holland Control Unit Part # SBA385870640

The previous timer ending in 40 is listed yet out of stock for $70. When you look up the 41 version, the very same 40 picture comes up with a price tag of $230!!!!

What gives? Feeling like we are getting jammed. Change a number and triple the price!

I would really be pissed if I ordered this part and it was 40 version printed on it with the 41 price tag.

Cheers

Welcome to the world of aftermarket pricing, its not unique to New Holland.

Thankfully here on TBN there are some very knowledgeable people who are willing to help each other out to find ways around these crazy aftermarket prices.

Just bypass it..but keep the clutch switch so you cant start unless its pushed in.

If you're complaining about that you better get rid of that tractor. It only gets worse the more expensive parts you need to by. A rear remote for that tractor runs about 2K. I've read posts in here where people were complaining about paying $400.I would pay that in a heartbeat. I don't know of any brand of vintage CUT that has cheap parts that are still available. Most tractors that age you search for parts, and it comes up obsolete.
I hate it as much as anyone else, but I accept it and relish in the fact that I can do the work myself and that the parts are still available. Most of all the best thing is that all the equipment I own I don't have I any payments on.
