Good Morning to everyone that has been so helpful over the past few months since I purchased the "New to Me" TC40D. I had been looking around for quite some time and finally came across this unit and had to have it. I picked it up out in Lancaster, PA, and trailered it back home to NJ. It had a few minor issues that I didnt mind but it ran great and would be perfect for me needs. Came with the 16la loader and the 758c backhoe. The first few things I looked up on this site were the tricks/methods used for the easiest removal of the backhoe. I figured it couldnt be that hard, but to get a little insight from the experienced ones certainly could not hurt!
After about a month, the first issue I had was it wouldn't start... just clicked, clicked, clicked- off to "Research" at tractorbynet and I installed the relay between the switch and the starter. Started almost instantly! AMAZING! Fixed. You guys are a wealth of valuable information.
The tractor did not come with manuals, so I did purchase them- Very useful information to have.
Now my ISSUE, sorry for the long post.
I have not had any running problems for the past 8 months- Last week, I loaded onto my trailer, went to location and pulled out a bunch of fence posts- Loaded it back on trailer, brought home, unloaded and parked in front of the garage, no issues.
Next morning, went to start it, it just cranks. Ugh. Off to do some research and did some tests, then came across the fuel solenoid info. According to Jinman, there should be 12v to it, which in fact there is not. I ran 12v directly to it, and the tractor fires right up! Yippeee!
So I know what the problem is, need a little help how to fix it. The previous owner disconnected ALL the safety switches that I know of. Parking brake, PTO, Seat, they are all disconnected. I'd say it was one of these connections, but I don't even know where to start.
Interesting that it has been fine all this time, and now, it decides to not function, maybe something came lose, corrosion- I looked at all the "taped" disconnected wires and the all look fine. Does anyone have any photos of the wiring that goes to the switches directly? I would actually like to hook some of them back up, especially the PTO one- I would like the PTO Light to come on when it is engaged and it would probably be a good idea if the tractor would not start with the PTO engaged as well. Wiring diagrams are not that helpful to me sometimes, I prefer to see the actual switch and wired going to them.
All the fuses are fine, is there a relay perhaps? My next thought is, can I just run a wire from a, switched power, directly to the solenoid and bypass everything? I don't normally like to "fix" things like that.
Thanks for taking the time to read... just looking for any input!
