Hi Denis, I hope you got the problem sorted. Thanks from Geoffrey

I had this on my 35x and it was just the solenoid contacts. They were so dirty I don't know how they were working at all. However, having cleaned them she cranks over better than she has for ages. The contacts are about half way eroded so may need looking at again in 30 years or so. Lucas stuff - doesn't last 5 minutes ☺️

Hi I am gla d it helped. Thanks from Geoffrey

Hi David, yes these are great little tractors. Maybe one day I will get one. I am also hoping to get a Grey Fergie as a project. Thanks for watching

@@brookdalefarm7986 I have a grey gold FE 35 here, non runner waiting for its turn. I will probably sell it when it's done. It has a DB 1212 in front of it that is half done. And will probably sell the DB. Once the 35 is done then a Diesel Major. Not to mention that the tractors I use always need love as well. God put us on this earth to achieve a sirtian things. When you look in my shed I will be here for a long time yet

@@davidrobertson376 Hi David, I often find that by the time I have done all the work on the tractors I am actually using I have run out of time for the fun projects. Hopefully next year I will have some more time for the projects. It sounds like you have a good collection of fun things to restore. Thanks

Hi Edward, I am glad you found it useful. I hope it works on your generator. Thanks from Geoffrey

Hi, I am glad you liked it. If the started is cranking over slowly I would suggest you put in another fully charged battery and see if that helps. If it still turns over slowly carefully feel around to see what is getting hot. It could be battery lead connections, earth to body connection or in the starter motor. This will tell you if there are any bad connections that need to be cleaned up. Be careful as it could burn you. If you can’t find bad connections they look to the starter motor. I am sorry I don’t know where to get a wiring diagram on line, but if you can get hold of a manual it should be in there. Thanks from Geoffrey

Thanks

Hi Mike, thanks. I am glad you re enjoying my videos. Dose your starter spin without engaging or just clunk when you push the button? If it spins but doesn’t engage it could be that the solenoid is not pulling in far enough or damage to either the teeth on the ring gear or the gear on the starter. Some starters also have a clutch in them that can wear out. Thanks from Geoffrey

@@brookdalefarm7986 it doesn’t spin until after a bunch of attempts where it just clunks. Then suddenly it will crank. Thank you for replying!

@@mikeboccasini4166 Hi Mike, try turning the key and at the same time shorting across the 2 large bolts on the back of the solenoid. If this makes it work then you need to clean the contacts in the solenoid like in this video. I hope this helps. Thansk

@@brookdalefarm7986 thank you sir, I’ll try that!

Hi, thanks for watching.

Hi Reginald, it is getting very hard to find people who will fix anything like this. I worked it out recently when my Massy Ferguson 178 had the same problem. Thanks
