Ford 1920 Running fine a week ago. Went to start it 2 yr old battery completely flat. Warning lights don't even come on when the key is turned. Jump tractor off of my truck. Everything cranks enthusiastically won't start acts like it is getting no fuel.
Is there a fuel shut off solenoid on this tractor that would account for these two disparate symptoms? Didn't see it on in my first look through the schematics. Ideas.
Thanks

You might look at the attachment below. Part #28 is your fuel kill switch solenoid. I start diagnostic from there. see if you can juice to ti with start key in on position. if no voltage I jump it directly and fire off the engine to see if it starts and then go after the wiring break if any. Jumping it will also tell you if the solenoid pick up and moves the plunger.

I'd start by looking at the diagram I posted below. #28 is your fuel kill solenoid. Make sure you have juice going to it with key on on position. If not jump it directly to see if coil pick up and moves the plunger. You can jump it on and try to start the tractor.

The 1920 fuel solenoid valve is on the right side of engine (from seat). You can apply 12V to the valve post using jumper cable or power pack and then try to crank. Sounds like your tractor wiring is not allowing power to the solenoid valve.

Thanks, That's what I was looking for. Not sure why I couldn't find it. Won't be able to trouble shoot until Saturday. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks again
