I just got this tractor running again. Before I took it apart, it would turn off with the key just fine. Now that it's back together, when I turn the key off, I then have to go push the fuel solenoid in to get it to turn off. Any ideas? The old ignition switch had been screwdriver'd, so it's been replaced already. The old pressure switch and temperature switch were removed by the previous owner and replaced with actual gauges, but it turned off with the key before I took it all apart, so I don't think that is affecting it. *FIXED* Found a broken wire (Red - 12v) to the timing controller.
Also when I first got it, it wasn't charging. Turns out the the diodes/wires in the alternator burned up. Replaced all of that, and now it 'charges' at 16.5v. A Wells VR728 (for a Datsun 1200) voltage regulator sure looks like it's the same thing and will plug in place of my (tested bad) regulator. Has anyone else verified this?
One last thing: It has a Schwarts brand FEL on it. Should I be able to lower the bucket and pick up the front of the tractor?
