    Ford 4630 fuel solenoid issues

    I actually found that diagram online at the following link: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/owning-operating/279889d1347120811-ford-newholland-3930-wiring-ford-newholland-3930-wiring-diagram

    Ford 4630 fuel solenoid issues

    I think the way it works is that the top wire on the schematic is the only "hot" wire that will turn on the solenoid. The relay is activated by either of the bottom two wires, each of which has a diode in the circuit. One is obvious and runs directly to the ignition terminal on the switch...

    Ford 4630 fuel solenoid issues

    I found this diagram for the 3930 and I thought it was the same or close for the 4630. On this site, there is another series of posts where a different diagram was posted and it shows different wiring for the 4630. Can't find that diagram but will keep searching. Still have not figured out...

    Excellent! Thank you. Now I know what to look for. Hopefully it is running again tomorrow!

    Ford 4630 fuel solenoid issues

    Key switch worked for years, so I doubt a miswire. Thought about defective switch, but can't tell without following out the wiring. Switch puts power to the solenoid when turned on, but something is cutting the power when switch goes to start. That means the relay is working properly (which I...

    Ford 4630 fuel solenoid issues

    It used to stop running if I disconnected the wire from the solenoid. Now, it does not, but solenoid appears to work fine off the tractor. That has me concerned, but I am now thinking it may be totally separate from the non-starting problem. Could just be crud in the line blocking the...

    Ford 4630 fuel solenoid issues

    Not new to me. I have owned it for over 5 years. Had a problem before but had the dealer fix it. They just replaced the solenoid. One of the wiring diagrams shows a bypass, but it goes through the relay and then to some diodes. However, another diagram shows the diodes are actually part...

    Ford 4630 fuel solenoid issues

    I have a Turbo Diesel Ford 4630 that is "emissioned", which means it was one of the last they built. Different injection pump and fuel filter setup, although it uses same fuel solenoid as earlier 4630's. First it would not start and I figured out the solenoid was bad. Replaced it, and started...

    8N runs hot

    Thanks for all the replies. Going through them one by one. Added one of my own - changed the oil. I am thinking my problem may have been a slipping fan belt. I was noticing some noise from the alternator and tightening the belt stopped that noise as well. Going to give it a workout to check...

    8N runs hot

    I have followed several threads about an 8N overheating. I have had the radiator bored and cleaned, keep radiator full just to top of coils, not above, run 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze. Water pump appears to be working fine. I can see flow when I remove the radiator cap. thermostat...

    TSC RENEW hydraulic fluid

    OK. Convinced me. Obviously, I have a paucity of knowledge about this subject. Was going to stick with the Travelers GL-1 sold by TSC but sounds like the Universal product is better? In South Texas so cold weather is really not a factor.

    TSC RENEW hydraulic fluid

    I have seen the articles here on the various choices of hydraulic fluid to use in an 8N, and the GL-1 and "Universal" fluids available at Tractor Supply. They have a new fluid out designed for old tractors using the same fluid for hydraulics, transmission, rear end, etc. called "RENEW". Has...

    Ford 4630 Turbo diesel won't start

    Thanks for all the responses. It was like a light dawning. Switch operated solenoid cuts off the fuel and shuts down the tractor. Simple. Will check for current tomorrow. New solenoid, wire, or maybe even a fuse sure will be cheaper than rebuilding the injector pump. Hard to believe it is...

    ford 8n starter replace

    I am having the same problem you did. Grinder wheel with wire brush is too wimpy to spin the starter. It bogs down. I actually spun it better with a wire brush in my drill but it wouldn't spin it fast enough. The drill press ides sounds interesting. I didn't follow how you did it. A...

    starter bendix

    I would also love to have you describe how you mounted it on a piece of round stock and spun it. I have tried spinning it with mounted wire wheel, wire wheels mounted on drills, etc. and just gave up.
