My Boomer 47 was working fine a couple of days ago and then sputtered and stopped. Wouldn't start after that. Let it sit for a bit and then it started and ran for a bit longer and did the same thing. After it stopped this time it wouldn't start again. I went through a number diagnostic steps below and sometimes the glow plug light would come on and stay on or not come on at all. Either way it wouldn't start. It wouldn't even try to engage the starter. Here's what I've done so far:
Really trying to avoid having a New Holland service tech come out. Anything I'm missing or suggestions you'd make?
Thank you!
- Oil and Transmission Oil level within range, oil level was a bit high.
- Battery checked, voltage ~13.0, CCA 780
- Negative ground cleaned and checked
- Ignition switch checked and is working correctly
- Glow plug relay checked. Relay cycled with 12v applied. Doesn't look like 12v is getting to the relay even when the ignition switch is on
- Checked safety switch interlocks. PTO, parking brake, seat switch. Is there something I'm missing?
- Jumpered across the starter motor and it turned normally. I couldn't get the engine to turn over, because the started didn't engage when I jumpered across the motor.
- Replace the Controller ($158) in the image shown in the image below. I think it controls a lot of the things I'm having trouble with. It is located under the left side of the dash.
- Purchase a CNH DIAGNOSTIC KIT DPA5 ($270) from Ebay to help diagnose the problem
- Have a tech come out and take a look at it. Planting season and they've said they can't come out for another month or so.
