    Injector pump fuel solenoid

    I’m not sure about the terminology but my Ford 555D injection pump solenoid that shuts off the fuel when you turn the key off is leaking fuel at the top where the wire attaches. I have a new solenoid and wanted to ask if there is anything I need to be aware off before I attempt to change it out...

    Ford 555D electrical problem

    I checked all the bulbs. The only bad bulb was the oil pressure bulb. Go figure!! Replaced the bulb now the oil pressure and alternator warning lights are both working like they are supposed to. Thanks for everything

    Ford 555D electrical problem

    Thanks I had a few minutes today to check the oil pressure switch and it tested good. I will check the bulb next. Yesterday when I had the panel open I only checked the alternator bulb. This time when I open the panel I will check all the bulbs. Thanks for all your help

    Ford 555D electrical problem

    I grounded the warning lamp wire at the alternator as suggested with the key on. The light for the alternator came on. I reconnected the wire to the alternator and the light came on in the panel and after starting the tractor the tach started working and the light went off just like it is...

    Ford 555D electrical problem

    I will admit I am not an electrician. I struggle with this. Your diagnosis seems very logical. One thing that puzzles me is why none of the trouble lights are working

    Ford 555D electrical problem

    When it says “ground warning lamp lead at alternator” is that referring to the same wire that I have been trying to get voltage to excite the alternator?

    Ford 555D electrical problem

    I removed the instrument panel as far as removing the circuit board from the case. I looked at all the solder joints and see nothing out of the ordinary. I have battery voltage to the plug that connects to the panel. With ohm meter I verified continuity from the plug to the circuit board. With...

    Ford 555D electrical problem

    Thanks again. I wasn’t aware a bad bulb would case the alternator not to excite. I will check that today. I hope this is the problem. I have removed my alternator and taken it to a repair shop and it tested good. I now have it back on the tractor. Your panel looks a lot like mine. When I put a...

    Ford 555D electrical problem

    It doesn’t light up when I turn the key to the on position without the engine running. None of the indicator lights come on. I had not thought about that. I did check all the fuses and they are good.

    Ford 555D electrical problem

    I have the manuals but the electrical diagram in it is very poor quality almost impossible to read. Some details I can’t read at all. Thanks for the heads up I will check the temperature sensor in the battery box. Can I just bypass the temperature sensor? Is it normal open or closed?

    Ford 555D electrical problem

    My Ford 555D backhoe is not sending voltage from the ignition switch to the alternator to make it start charging. If I put a jumper wire on the alternator it will start charging. I have voltage leaving the ignition switch going to the alternator but no voltage at the alternator. What could be...

    Ford 555D rear differential

    I finally got the rearend torn down. Found all 3 planetary gears broken in several pieces. The short shaft has damaged teeth. Cost from New Holland for parts is $3184. I found a complete rearend from a salvage yard for $1750. Looks like that’s the way I will go.
