First off new to the site and I'd like to say thanks in advance for any help with my questions. I did post up in the new member section first.
1. I've had my MF 205-4 for 10 years now and never had any problems until this year. My glow plug light( actually glow wire) no longer heats up and the tractor is very hard to start. Don't know what controls it. Could it be the glow plugs, the ignition switch, relay? I have know idea where to start looking. Checked the fuses and they were good. New battery also.
2. I don't think the tractor is charging anymore. I know the hard to start problem uses alot of my battery up. The tractor once started runs perfect but if I run the lights it slowly kills the battery and after 10 starts or so I need to recharge the battery. I took the gen off this morning and dropped it off at a local alt shop and they checked it and said its good. He said it should have a rectifier and a regulator or one unit that does both. What would that part look like?
After I get this stuff worked out I plan to replace some cosmetic stuff like lights and misc things. Would love to find some more attachments to.
Thanks again.
