I am trying to learn diesels.... so I have gotten to the point where I can tune her up.. The other day my husband was driving and she died. (he said it sounded like it ran out of fuel) She had been having tough start problems...both seat safety switch and brake switch AND glow plug switches acting up.. and of course the old ignition switch (someone..had forced the key and actually Bent it!) So I replaced the following... glow plug relay (worked...it now lights up- I am so pleased!) the ignition.. smooth as a baby's... well you know THe tractor turns over but will not catch.. Fuel smell coming out of exhaust. Could it be a safety switch or would it not even turn over?? (headed to NHolland to buy a seat & brake safety switches but from this forum I had a sticky Neutral switch and wonder..hmm maybe it is that too? ) Am I headed the wrong way? Did I mention I got a C in auto electrical.. give me the machine shop and I am happy --this electrical stuff has me blue! My other thought was burnt out glow plugs? There was a problem for a long time with the indicator light but that is now fixed!
