Okay resurrecting this post in hopes. I'm going to use too many words so you can skip to the last paragraph..
Not mine but my kid brothers. Bought used 2004 Ford New Holland 4-cylinder diesel, I can hunt down the serial number if needed...He has had it about two months on the farm he is setting up for a young family. He asked me over because the tractor would die as if it shut down. Had fuel. Turn of key just got gauges to work, not click no crank. Worked the forward reverse lever and it started. Next time it crapped out, that did not work. He had a buddy, that teaches diesel mechanic, at the local junior college swing by. He looked it over and said it looked like to him that the wiring was not original? He'd want to towed to his place to look at it further. My bro decided he'd try while the guy was there and it fired up. They took it to the barn and it was working well for a few days, but then the same issues were happening. I was inclined to think it was the fuel shut off solenoid acting up and planned to go out the next time it failed. That was Saturday. Of course I get there and it cranks and fires just fine! a dozen times. I start poking around and tugging wires and it keeps starting. I bounce the bucket up and down a few dozen time to get it to do something...I see an add on relay hooked in to the battery and into a wire White with red stripe. Which come out of one of the modules I don't recall which, but it was the one to the outside of the tractor vs the one that sits closer to the column. Left side sitting in the seat. The wire it is powering isn't attached to anything, so decided to eliminate that. There is also a cut wire, orange with red stripe under there, which since it all seemed to be working at the time, I just taped off the two ends in case it was grounding out...This is for sure a cut not a break... All good, I go to take off, and bro goes to bring it in to the arena, and hollers for me to come back the tractor won't shift forward or reverse...I didn't think I left anything unhooked but started checking connections. After checking a few connections, I tried to start the tractor and got only lights and gauges, same condition my brother said he was having... A closer look showed that in my tugging three, of the four wires, to the shifter/selector switch are now disconnected and need to be soldered back on...I am almost certain I can tell which wire goes where since one is still connected. I signed up to website to get a pdf of the manual but it seems sketchy so I'd rather not run the risk there.
Also bro doesn't remember if the inching pedal worked I think It does because he called it a suicide pedal where after a 1/2" of travel it takes off. Also you didn't need to hold in the clutch to start the tractor, there should be a neutral safety switch, not sure if it is incorporated into the selector but I'm betting it is. I've gone to a call tractor supply websites in hopes of getting the right part should me soldering job fail...Yet the switch might be bad to begin with as well. Based on this post? None of the website to buy the switch seem to have photos f what I think is the right switch as the photos are different. I'd like to get this done for him this weekend as I won't have light enough after work to work on it during the week...
If you read all that Thanks!!!
1. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or now a legit place I can download one? (Kid bro said he was going to see about buying one from the dealer)
2. Can someone confirm from a diagram that the wires are white the blue stripe which is still connected to "B", that the Black with white strip is connected to #2 Red is connected to #3 and the Blue is connected to #1. These are the numbers printed on the switch itself.
3. Anyone have the part number for this switch?
Thanks in advance for any help...
