So I used the interstate site and plugged in the equipment and that’s the one it calls out . Only difference was 51 and the 51 r where the terminals are. In my machine it shows the terminals back by the radiator but mine for some reason was turned around which still works. I put it in the way it...

oops

Ok good to know. Trying to make sense of this starting procedure, I guess I have to read other over more thoroughly. So the fuel gets ignited by compression and the glow plugs (timer) really does not have to work to start. I have unplugged it just for kicks and it still started.

And yes it is one click, I actually put my hand on that timer when the key was on and it didn’t lick so the solenoid is making that audible click. Assuming that it is working properly, I would think that the click means it’s moving the plunger. Wonder if it’s possible that it could be restricted...

No doesn’t have auto heat up , thanks.

Just checked , tractor starts up, no audible click when key is turned . If I turn the key and wait for about 10-15 seconds I do hear a click .

I hear a click , not certain if it’s the solenoid or not now that you said that. I know there is one for the relay is what I assume.Its a solid click , I guess I have to pay more attention to it. I will try it again later and see if I hear 2 clicks, one for the solenoid and then a second for the...

Thanks , I do have a service manual. I purchased one but didn’t seem to find the answer there. I however stumbled on a thought. I had my tractor serviced and when it came back I noticed that the idle seemed to be on the low side , I just figured that is where it should be. It always started but...

All good information, I will try what you suggest .I understand I am here for help and I will try your what you suggest . I am with you on it doesn't make sense for it to happen the way I have described. The battery is brand new and the one that I replaced was old but it held a good charge .The...

I put an amp meter in series with the ground cable to the battery, no drain in the Ma range , put it in Ua range and got a .02 ua reading. . So I don’t see it being a drain and the battery is brand new. Still it will start a few times then I remove the maintainer and after a day or so try it and...

Well I have not done that as of yet, considering if I leave the battery maintainer plugged in it starts every time. The battery was on the weak side but still cranked extremely well, I decided to replace the battery with a new one. Did not resolve the issue. Thanks

Just did a search for that thermistor and they list them for 4200 through 4600 . No mention of 4100 🤷🏻‍♂️

Either do I and I know from experience it’s not easy to remove the cover under the steering wheel. The steering wheel has to be removed, and some parts to actually remove the cover to expose the components. It would be helpful if someone here has done this and can actually say there is...

I don’t know if this model has it, can someone verify that it does?
