    Thank you

    IH 234 Block

    I purchased it knowing that it was possibly cracked, but took a chance. The guy said it froze, pushed the freeze plug out. I was hoping that was it. I got it for cheap. But apparently cracked the block inside, water is getting into the oil inside the block somewhere.

    IH 234 Block

    I need a new block for my IH 234 and they are no longer made. Anyone have any idea where I can get one or am I going to have to scrap my tractor?

    6640 starter very sluggish

    This may be a stupid question, but I ran a cable from the negative battery terminal to a stud on the back of the housing which I assumed was for grounding. Would this work the same as running it to the mounting bolt?

    6640 starter very sluggish

    I had considered a gear reduction starter to see if it would spin it any faster. Any thoughts on whether that might work or not?

    6640 starter very sluggish

    What exactly do you mean jump around the ground cable?....Yes, it is a 3/4" bolt that goes to the housing. I was just going to go to a local heavy duty parts place and get them to make me a new cable which normally wouldn't be a problem, but no on has a ring terminal that is 3/4". So instead I...

    6640 starter very sluggish

    I have cleaned all connections and the cables seem fine visually, I may just replace them anyway. I will check them for heat.

    6640 starter very sluggish

    Thank you, I have not checked voltage drop across the solenoid contacts. I hope that it is some kind of electrical connection problem, but I have not been able to find it. The engine does start out faster and then gets slower and within probably10 seconds won?t turn over at all until I turn the...

    6640 starter very sluggish

    Have a 6640 that has a new battery, new starter, and new alternator. Also am pretty certain that it has good ground as the ground connections have been removed and thoroughly cleaned, even added a ground wire from battery directly to back of starter as there was a grounding terminal there...

    HELP PLEASE. Ford 6640 starting issues

    Ok, I get what you are saying now about removing the sensor and jumping across it, but I'm not sure if it has one. I will check today. But any ideas what the other plug off the battery terminal is for?

    HELP PLEASE. Ford 6640 starting issues

    I'm not sure, but there is a plug of some sort that is coming off the positive battery terminal that is not plugged into anything, it is a couple of small wires with a plug connection on the end that's only about 3" long. Could that be it? It hasn't been plugged into anything for a while. And...

    HELP PLEASE. Ford 6640 starting issues

    Thanks for all the help guys, this has been very helpful! After cleaning all the connections and grounding point on the chassis and where the starter mounts to the tractor, it is turning over better and cranked. I am also planning to run a ground to the starter from the main grounding connection...

    HELP PLEASE. Ford 6640 starting issues

    Thats what I was thinking about the battery not charging. The alternator is new so I assume it's working properly. Everything is hooked up properly I believe.....The negative battery cable goes straight to a point on the chassis of the tractor about 6" from the battery and that's it, there is no...

    HELP PLEASE. Ford 6640 starting issues

    Ok, I don't know if this makes a difference, but the lead that is overheating is the one that goes from the solenoid to the starter itself. Could this mean that the starter motor is pulling too many amps or could this still be a bad connection/resistance issue?
