The dreaded and hideous "electrical problem..." Actually more than one problem, but I suspect they are related. Instrument panel isn't getting any signals from the fuel tank, oil pressure, thermostat, or alternator. All dead. Fuses are fine. Can't find any chewed wires or breaks. Took the fuses...

Front grille entirely rusted away. Can't find a used one anywhere near the West Coast, and too cheap to buy a new replacement part. Anybody know where I can find a used one?

Mine completely rusted away. I can't find a used one anywhere and new ones are $200 plus shipping, which seems like a lot. I'll fab one if I have to... but first, anybody know of a used one for sale anywhere? Farmland Tractor has one listed but I called and they don't have it.

I'm about to start in on this project and just wondered if anyone here has some tips or advice. Right now the tractor has almost no brakes at all. I've adjusted the linkages and the best I can get is a tiny bit of resistance if I really jam on it. Every time I've changed out the hydraulic filter...

Where should I tap into the electrical system to power the solenoid on a hydraulic diverter valve? This one has a little LED in the Hirschmann connector, so I can tell if it's on, and if I stay with the momentary pushbutton switch I can't really run the battery down. So, I could connect...

Took me the better part of 3 weeks, but today I finally got the Thumb working: First I had to install a diverter valve, make hoses, and connect a pushbutton switch to operate the diverter. Not really done with the install yet, the electrical work is just a temporary hack to get it working...

Okay, I have a diverter valve mounted on the FEL arm and plumbed-in to the curl lines. Now I'm ready to get new hoses made for the thumb cylinder, and wondering where to put the QDs. There are two 90s on the output ports and I have the QDs mounted on those right now, and am wondering if it...

OK, I have read a few threads about different ways to add a valve to operate a thumb or grapple, and am still not sure what the pros and cons are. I need to decide which way to go soon. My tractor: Ford NH 1920, 7 gpm hydraulic gear pump, has FEL with 2-spool valve. Also has single remote...

Have plumb wore out the original seat on my Ford NH 1920 and as I have a birthday coming up, wife says I can get a fancy new one. Problem is, I can't figure out which if any of the aftermarket seats will fit the bolt pattern. I took the seat assembly off and measured, 6+1/16" x 9+1/4"...

I need to rebuild the bucket cylinders on my FEL, which is a SMC 84Q (on a Ford NH 1920). The comapny no longer exists and I'm having a hard time finding any cross-check on the parts. Anybody have suggestions? The part number from the manual is 36192 but that doesn't seem to help much since...

Tractor always starts right up, but suddenly won't even turn over. I get a click (relay or fuel solenoid?), then nothing, and subsequent attempts don't even produce a click. Voltmeter shows 12.45 volts across battery terminals, same across connectors. Checked for voltage across connection...

Switching over to the quick-attach system isn't going well for me. The QA adapter wasn't made quite right, there wasn't enough space for the bucket cylinder crosstubes; and now that I've got that fixed, it turns out the pallet fork attachment I got (at the same time,from same seller) doesn't...

Picked up (for free) an older Mantis tiller that won't run, hoping it was just a carb full of goo. The carb was indeed badly fouled, but after cleaning it and reinstalling, the engine still won't even cough when I add fuel to the cylinder. Spark tester shows juice getting to plug, which looks...

Anybody know where I might find a FEL bucket for an older (ca. 1986) SMC 84Q? I looked at Everything Attachments but theirs are for the newer quick-release connectors. Mine has the sleeve & pin connections top & bottom. Contrary to what I've read here, I have in fact worn out my bucket, after...

Hello geniuses! I have an intermittent problem with the hydraulics on my Ford 1920. If I start the tractor and immediately operate any of the hydraulics, often they will immediately and completely stop working. Say, if I start the engine while the 3ph lever is up, the hitch will jump a bit...

Greetings fellow tractor aficionados! I've been getting along pretty good with mine so far but every now and then pop in to lurk and pick up some info. Well, now I need some specific help and so finally signed up. Looks like a helpful and knowledgeable bunch!

Backing up a little from my earlier query about the solenoid on the Ford NH 1920. This tractor was running fine, always started right up, except the neutral safety switch was kind of fussy - had to jiggle the shifter to get it to close. Shut down normally one day, next morning climb on and...

Does anybody know how to identify an aftermarket solenoid that will fit one of these Shibaura-made compact diesels? NH has a monopoly on the parts - can't cross-correlate the part numbers to any other mfr - and wants $265.15 plus shipping... for a solenoid!!! Sure don't want to pay them a...
