I can’t test it if I can’t get it out. I’ve moved everything I can move but still can’t get a wrench on it. There is a piece directly above the solenoid that is in the way, but has a do not tamper type of cover over it. I’m reluctant to rip the cover off and remove the piece to gain better...

I’m finally back to my tractor, and I can find no wiring problems and the fuses are all good. I’m gonna try to pull it off and check it if I can. Is there a way to temporarily bypass it? I can’t find a solenoid for my particular tractor online, so I guess I’ll have to call the dealer (shudder!)...

Thanks so much for your response. That fits the symptoms perfectly! Unfortunately, I had to leave my tractor about 2 1/2 hrs away and won’t be able to check the solenoid for a couple of weeks. I’ll let you know if that’s the problem.

I was using my 3510i about 2 hrs ago, and it suddenly quit, like I had turned the switch off. Now it will turn over, but won’t run. I replaced the fuel filter (it was time anyway), bled the air out, and it still won’t run. I also cracked two different injector lines to see if there was an air...

After cleaning everything again I was able to jump the starter and get it to barely turn over. With further cleaning of the small wire going to the bottom of the starter, it now spins freely. But it won’t crank! It will sputter with some ether, telling me it’s not getting fuel, but I don’t know...

My 3510i starter won’t turn over. I have a good battery, solid 12 volts to the starter, and also 12 volts to the wire directly below the main cable on the starter when the ignition switch is in the crank position. I want to take the starter off to bench test it, but I’m (seriously!) afraid I...

Yep. I got a reply from a different post with a pic of a wire ring holding it in. And I can’t comprehend that cost for the seal kit, either. I just laughed when the dealer told me that. In my opinion, a new cylinder should be that much or less. I’ll check some independent hydraulic shops before...

Thanks! I don’t have the cylinder off the tractor yet, so I haven’t cleaned it up much. Did a Branson dealer rebuild it, or an independent shop? Just a seal kit from Branson for mine is $$$$. If an independent shop can source the parts from somewhere else, I’ll definitely go that route.

The steering cylinder on my Branson 350i is leaking (pouring) on the right hand (from the seat) end, and I’m about to replace the seals. I haven’t gotten the seal kit yet - $265+ for o-rings and seals - and I’m wondering if anyone has done this before? A replacement cylinder is $1,220+, which I...

I’m interested in why the rebuild didn’t last? My cylinder is pouring fluid out of the right hand side and I’m about to replace the seals. The seal kit is about $265 (ouch!) but a new cylinder is over $1,220! What happened with yours? Was the rebuild difficult?

Life has sidelined me for a while, but I’m working on my tractor again. I think I have a bad ignition switch. I took it apart, (yes, it’s possible) and cleaned it up. One of the contacts is grooved, and I suspect it’s no longer making good contact. I couldn’t do anything about that, but when I...

Thanks. I have a multimeter, and don’t look forward to tracking down this Gremlin. My cables are clean and tight at both ends. I’m hoping someone else has had a similar problem and can point me in a more specific direction. If there’s a main fuse, I don’t know where it is to test it. Does...

My 05 or 06 3510i has no electrical power to anything. No lights on the dash, horn,lights, etc. Nothing. It started out as an intermittent problem that would resolve if I moved (jiggled) the large, white multi wire connector on the left side near the fuse panel under the hood. It would happen...
