    old ford tractor restorers

    Interested to hear where you end up taking your 4400 I have a low hour 3910 and would like to have someone fix a steering leak, fix a gage and lights, and install a front loader but like you, all I seem to find are shade tree guys who really dont know much. Im in South Carolina FWIW. Im...

    Ford 3910 Battery and Cable Replacements

    Tractor is now fixed. Ended up being a loose positive at the solenoid. Which I previously checked but apparently not well enough. The attachment stud is copper and was stripped by the previous owner at some point (wouldnt tighten, hence the sparks. I removed a washer and found/installed a...

    Ford 3910 Battery and Cable Replacements

    Sparks are bad, right? I installed two new battery cables, got a new 850CCA battery, went to crank it just knowing it would start this time. Bzzzt! A few sparks from down by the right side (either from where the positive cable attaches to the solenoid, or where the negative/ground cable...

    Ford 3910 Battery and Cable Replacements

    Great, thanks for the pointers Dave. We have a local Batteries Plus so that should work great. If I get cables from YT, or Steiner, or maybe Messicks to avoid the sticker shock do you have any idea what the OEM lengths are for a 3910 diesel? I could get close just estimating, but someone...

    Ford 3910 Battery and Cable Replacements

    Well, add me to the list of those with starting problems with their tractor. I think I have narrowed it down to bad battery cables. At least the terminal ends are shot, and the cables have seen better days. I have called three different parts houses, none have OEM spec cables. Im assuming 2 Gage...

    1986 Ford 3910 Fuel Gage

    No voltage stabilizer on mine. Is it possible to do a component repair (I.e. replace just the fuel gage portion) on the cluster? I know its less than $100 for a new cluster, but Id like to keep the original if I can.

    1986 Ford 3910 Fuel Gage

    Used to have a Ford 2600 12V system, I know. Just got this 3910, and the seller installed a brand new battery. I got 26V across the battery terminals, and 26V at the back of the gages. So, I just surmised it was a 24V system on this tractor. To be honest I was a bit surprised. Either I...

    1986 Ford 3910 Fuel Gage

    Hoping for some electrical troubleshooting help here Bottom line up front: Is it common for a fuel gauge to go bad in the instrument cluster? Got no reading on my fuel gauge needle is straight down at the six oclock position. So of course I bought a new sender (before testing the old...
