Farmtrac 665 wont start

Dove Hill Farm · Apr 5, 2009

Need help , Farmtrac 665 DTC wont start. Starter solenoid went out, replaced it, but get a small click when turning key. Engine turns over if you jump the starter, but wont key start. Tried changing the starter switch, still the same. Battery and ground are good. Any suggestions? Is their a coil or voltage regulator?

My first suspect on newer tractors are the safety switches that prevent starting in gear, or without depressing the clutch. See if you can locate the safety switches, and check them.

I think that model has shuttle and it has to be out of gear to start. There's a switch that detects when it's out of fwd. and rev. Also check the fuse. I have a 675 and it's set up like that. Shuttle has to be in neutral and other gear sticks can be in gear and don't have to press the clutch pedal to start.

Thanks for your idea on my tractor not starting. I"m going to see if I can find another "shuttle switch/senor". I"ll let you know if that works.

OK, I had the battery tested and it's strong, replaced the ground cable and re-grounded it to the starter block bolts. Bi-passed the neutral safety switch and still it wont key start. It just makes a small click sound. I can jump the starter and the motor turns over, but won't ignite. I primed the fuel line. Maybe it is some other senor or safety switch that's cutting off voltage?? Any ideas??
