I spoke with the folks at Messicks and they suggested placing a clutch activated safety switch in the starter circuit with the #50 ignition wire. I have the switch on the way and the bracket to mount to the 1700 body. I will then add an actuator to the clutch plate that will activate the switch...

I have a new spring on the way, but I am unable to pull out the former one if it is indeed in there. I'm hoping it just stays down in the fluid deep on the bottom below the mechanics.

I was more thinking through the arm that activates the push button when stepping on clutch, but I think I have a solution this AM. Messicks pointed me to a switch that is a Kubota and will work the same. Found the bracket on ebay. I'm leaning toward adding to my current tear drop piece on the...

My clutch pedal looks like this as well and I am about to install a clutch safety switch. I am looking for a part number or what to get to install on clutch linkage to activate the safety switch.

If I perhaps wired this item: https://amzn.to/3zyTI2g to the starter solenoid, then I'd still have a key switch for ignition (safer than push button) and I'd have the other key switch for warming the glow plugs and lights. Thoughts? Reasons against?

I'm wondering if I can eliminate the neutral gear safety switch, but wire into the relay a clutch depress safety switch instead. My 1700 doesn't have a clutch safety currently, but I've heard of some that have. Would it work the same way? Could this be interchangeable?

I just contact formed New Holland about replacing potential. I have a feeling I'm gonna be stuck. Any potential to bypass this and still use the key switch or am I stuck with just jumping the solenoid all the time?

Just spoke with Messicks. They don't have/ can't find/ can't get the SBA386750061 safety board switch. Looks like I'm on a hunt.

I'm hoping the spring I dropped is able to fish out with a pick up magnet. If I can't get it out and it is in there, will it muck up a gear?

I just found that being #24 and #44. Was starting to search the SBA's. Thanks guys. That's why it seems to work as being grounded. Still curious on my loose wire.

Good morning. I got a new safety switch in last week, but went away for a long weekend. I opened up the trans cover this AM, and I believe I knocked a spring in the tranny well. Going to try and get it out with magnet pick up tools. If I don't get it out, will it ruin something if it is...

I'm new to this thread but about to tackle the Safety Switch under the transmission cover. I have a Ford 1700 with the two gear shift levers. I can verify one black wire leaving the transmission and travelling to the relay. My questions is at the relay connection. I have two wires that...

Next steps taken: I went to the auto parts store with the recently purchased battery. Whatever I did fried the battery, so new battery and cable acquired. Ran a new wire from solenoid to relay and from relay to switch. Still nothing when I turn the key except for the Oil and Battery lights...

I've installed a new relay and got all of the fuse block wires in the correct places. The new relay is plastic compared to a metal one. I was hoping for it to fire right up when I turned the key, but still nothing. Can the voltage regulator affect ignition? Also, the starter is brand new, but...

Found a Messicks diagram with clear items: Fuse 1: Left is a red wire from ignition switch #ACC. Right is black wire to Light Switch Fuse 2: Left is wire to Fluid/Oil Indicator. Right is a black wire going to temp gauge on dash. Fuse 3: Left is wire to Batt/Charge Indicator. Right is a red wire...

Crossing over from my starter/ignition getting sorted out, tracing wires and finding loose ends. I'm at the fuse block and finding some things that I'd like to make sure they get plugged in correctly (at least one). As I understand top down, we have rows 1 - 4, left and right. I am looking...

Yes, I bypassed the ignition switch last night with a jumper wire from starter + to the switch lead. Fired right up. Traced the switch wire (white #50) to a relay on the dash bar. Assuming I might have popped the relay, so I have a new one ordered. My query is still, what is the random black...

The starter is new out of the box. I'm not getting response to key turn. I'm leaning toward a bad ignition wire as I check through things. I just discovered a wiring diagram that shows a possible fuse inline with the White #50 wire. Gotta find that next. If that popped. I hope that's it.

Hi folks. Ya'll have been helpful in the past, so, here I am. Ok, lets start with what I did and see how bad I messed up. Had a bad battery, so replaced the battery. Had a bad ignition switch, replaced. New voltage regulator. Was still having starting issues. Just took a few tries and would...

I have a 1980 Ford 1700 tractor. I just acquired a 3 Point Hitch Tractor Supply Log Splitter. On my tractor if you are facing it from the back, on the right hand side under the seat, there is a small block with a hydraulic hose coming out the top and a lever on the front (like by the seat). I...
