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...

The steering cylinder on my 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? There doesn’t appear to be a threaded end on the...

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...

My 05 or 06 3510i PTO won稚 engage. It worked OK yesterday, and simply won稚 engage today. I致e somehow lost the cover for the fuse panel (thatç—´ in another thread), so I checked all of the fuses. Theyæ±*e all good. My experience with solenoid coils is that they usually start giving trouble...

I have an 05 or 06 Branson 3510i and I致e lost the cover to the fuse panel. The inside of the cover indicated which fuse powered what, and I need that diagram. Can anyone direct me to where to find that diagram or maybe take a picture of theirs and post it? Thanks!

My Branson 3510i hitch has had a hiccup (bounce under load) for some time, but this weekend it became a major issue. If the hitch is raised and under load, it will hold fine when the tractor is running, but when I shut it off it will leak all the way down in about 10 seconds - even if I close...

My Branson 3510ii has had a hiccup (bounce) in the 3 point hitch for quite some time, but today it became a major issue. I seem to have lost some of my hydraulic power, and if I have the hitch under load and use the loader, the hitch drops slowly. As soon as I stop using the loader, the hitch...

My 3510i starter works fine when my Tractor is cool, but after it heats up it acts like the clutch/starter safety switch is almost but not quite engaged. The starter seems to kind of sputter. It might start, and it might not. Any thoughts/solutions?

Has anyone used blades other than #36's on this mower? It calls for a flat blade, and I'd like to add some lift. Would a 7555 blade work? And what advantages or disadvantages does anyone see with adding lift?

I have a 3510i, and it's time for new front tires. I'm looking for traction and durability. Anybody got some real world experience with what type and brand works well for ag purposes? And a decent place to buy? I'm about 30 miles north of Atlanta. Thanks!

I'm done with Branson. My tractor is going up for sale, and I'll never recommend them to anyone again. I love my tractor, but Branson has the most screwed up system for servicing their customers that I've ever seen. My 2 closest dealers couldn't supply me with a hydraulic filter without...

Unfortunately, I busted up the grill on my Branson 3510, and Branson wants an obscene price to replace it. Does any one know of a "Branson Graveyard" or perhaps have a grill to fit mine? I can probably Frankenstein mine back together, buy it'll look like crap and my not be too strong. Help!

Like most folks, I'm having trouble finding parts. The dealers that were nearby (kinda) have closed and been replaced by trailer companies selling a few tractors. They carry NO parts for my tractor. I really need a hydraulic filter, but hate to order one, wait, and pay shipping. I read about...

I just found and bought a pair of bush hog blades on CL. They are identical to the blades on my cutter with one exception - they're 1" wider. Mine has 3" wide blades, these are 4" wide. That means an extra 1" wide x 24&3/4" long by 1/2" thick piece of steel per blade. Is the extra weight gonna...

I have a Branson 3510i with the Kujke AN1700N2 engine, and all 3 glow plugs test bad. The Branson # for the plugs is HK15170000A4, and the dealer price is obscene for this little plug. Does anyone have a cross reference for any other brand of glow plug? I read in another post that a Cummins...

My Branson 3510 is a real bear to start in cold (30's and below) weather. I cycle the glow plugs several times and have tried several throttle positions to no avail. I've even tried a magnetic block heater on the oil pan when I'm close enough to power. It'll crank eventually, but that has to...

Branson 3510i hydraulic fluid screen - where is it? I bought a used 3510 and the seller told me it recently had it's 300 hr. service by the dealer. However, the hydraulics have been acting up a little - bouncing implements when the 3 pt. is up, bucket sometimes won't pick up the front end. I'm...

I just bought a Branson 3510 w/FEL and other implements, but it has no rear hydraulics. Has anyone added a rear wet hookup? I'm an above average wrench turner, so that's no problem.
