one for the MF die hards

[gone]

Hi. Removed all fuses and cleaned them up and put back. Did have red triangle and red transmission light on but they now have gone since cleaning fuses. clutch switch seems ok and if i press it , it clicks so i assume it is working although the it won't start on the key so have to jump starter. When I turn key on, all lights come on then most go off quickly put D remains on a bit longer before going out. If I turn key to start tractor just a clicking from electrics at right hand side of dash above brake pedals. Just removed ECU plate under step this weekend and this plate is very rusty and looks like it should have an earth wire connected to it but just a very rusty nut(lump) on plate. any ideas, thanks for earlier reply. cheers John

That sounds very like the Bottom of Clutch travel switch, some electrical contact spray might bring it back to life for a short while, but they aren't very dear and regularly give bother.

Just checked relays below fuses and all 4 are rusted and blown. Do these have anything to do with the power shuttle?

I had an MF salesman tell me an epower was 'just like a vario'

My response? 'Only in that its the bit between the engine and wheels' (This was before a VT was available in an 8s)

replaced all 4 relays. Removed all fuses and cleaned with contact cleaner. removed ecu and cleaned all contacts with contact cleaner. Also noticed two broken wires going into ecu so repaired those. earthed ecu . Put everything back together and tractor now moves backwards and forwards. only now have the starter motor problem to solve.

It all depends on what you have i sold a set of Ford ones from the 2000 to the 9600 for £250, all so sold a a set of the Ford ones from the 2600 to 9600 for £325, the County ones I had were a lot more money than that but were very rare

Best way is to put them on ebay & find out , There are dealers that buy & sell that stuff all day long , When i first put some I had one send me a message about them all I asked him a £1000 for every thing I had & he said i was joking , it it turned out the were worth a hell of a lot more than that that money , I had lots of MF ones to these all made good money but they were complete sets of every tractor from a 135 to a 1200 sure they were the top side of £400 for the set
