removing the dash workmaster 45

geribilly · Aug 1, 2016

Hello
My workmaster45 has been attacked by rats behind the dashboard.
I would like to remove the dash so that i can rewire but am having trouble removing the turn signal and the light knobs so that i can access more easily.
At present it turns over but will not start. i have checked and there is no power to the fuel solanoid
Does anyone have any suggestions
Thanks

I can't help with your dash but if it makes you feel any better the vermin got to my NH 545 too. Just like yours, they chewed on something behind the dash or somewhere in between. The fuel solenoid doesn't work with the key anymore. Until I can get to it, I have it jumped out.

Thanks, I had a feeling I would not be the only one, they chewed the wiring in my shearing machine as well. hungry little buggers.

if you have power at the fuse block, come off the fuse block and go to the fuel solenoid. the fuse block is switched so you can turn off the fuel with the key. this may get it running-at least.
