No FEL Curl

   / No FEL Curl #11  
Turkeyman, you do NOT need to remove the cowling to check fuses. You simply remove the two screws on the instrument panel and lift it out. Your fuses are located on the left side under the instrument panel. You cannot get to them by removing the cowling. The most problematic fuse is #2. If it is blown, as soon as you turn on the key, the PTO engage light will illuminate even though the lever is at the disengage position. This is the easiest way to tell if fuse #2 is blown. Many of us have replaced it with a self-resetting circuit breaker.

The main 40 amp fuse is down near your starter. It is protected by a black cover about 1-1/2" long. If you have no electrical power at all, it could be this fuse or dirty battery terminals.

If your curl cylinder seals are blown as Jon suggests, you should be able to raise the arms and the bucket will droop. If you put it against the ground, it should move around with no control. If the bucket is tight and won't move, then there is nothing wrong with the cylinder(s) seals.

Thanks for the insight.
A field mechanic came out and said the internal nuts holding the rams inside the curl rams were stripped frombeing over extended too hard. Rebuilts ones are $290 each.
Now he thinks that we have a relay under the fuel filter that is bad as no power is leaving that relay. He hooked a jumper wire up from the battery and tractor started.

Any ideas on the relay?

Thanks

Sounds to me like he hooked up power to the fuel solenoid and started the tractor (it's under the fuel filter). However, if he jumpered the fuel solenoid and it worked, then it is something else that is wrong. Maybe the operator safety relay is bad and he jumpered around it. However, I don't think it's on the fuel filter side, I think it's on the left side of the tractor under the cowling.
