Thankyou very much for showing your journey with this ford tractor. Of course it takes time and patience and of course money to get this finished. I am sure everyone who has been watching with great interest has enjoyed your videos of progress. I am sure soon , we will see the ford’s first job in the field which will be fantastic 👌. I know you’re understandably busy but could you do a David brown 1690 update. 👏
That solenoid for the shutoff has a pull and a hold circuit so pull can be energized with the starter solenoid output to the motor and the hold can be let switched to work proper
Yeah one of those wires is the high amp to pull the solenoid when it reaches the ´end´ position it stops receiving power and the second wire low amp hold will hold it in place (run position) You could probably wire from the starter with a relay for the pull and from the ignition key for the hold.
@dirt_and_diesel Of course it could go wrong but sure so be it. Tbf you'll have enough on your plate trying to tie up loose ends before you can drive it out, so I suppose maybe it's not great an idea. I know you're doing all the work but this series of videos has been class.
Thanks mate, means a lot, glad you’re enjoying them. To be fair, I’m enjoying the process, especially now I’m near the end (hopefully) and seeing results

Thanks John, I have some plans for the 1690 that you’ll see, probably not what you expect 😂 so that might be soon

Thanks, it’s all on and sorted now. Quite simple once I found a diagram
beautiful work as always!
If you undo the bolts on the case of the alternator you can spin the front casting round and make it a right hand fixing
Most alternators are like that, this one doesn’t line up to screw back as a right hand. It’s left hand or nothing.
The live should only be energised when cranking (starter circuit) the 3rd wire is the latching wire (live with ignition on)
Yeah one of those wires is the high amp to pull the solenoid when it reaches the ´end´ position it stops receiving power and the second wire low amp hold will hold it in place (run position) You could probably wire from the starter with a relay for the pull and from the ignition key for the hold.
Tom, would you consider doing a live video for the drive out with live chat etc.? It would be pretty special!
I think that’s a good idea, you might be the only watcher and I bet it’d go wrong, but sure 👌🏻

Sounds unreal
Stop solenoid wires are earth, pull and hold. It should only pull when cranking, high amps. Then when not cranking the hold wire should only be live.
Thanks. I did some Googling that night and found some videos explaining it
HP ?
Cheers for the update, Quick question, are you leaving it yellow?
I think he should let tractor blue and paint the engine and all the components for the swap yellow, it would show the story.
@@oldamericaniron5767 actually that’s a good idea, been following this from day one and to be fair it’s been an adventure all the way so far.
How Many horsepower do you have now ??? Michell.norway 🚜👍😊🚜
Many! It was 277hp in the combine but I don’t have the intercooler on it here
