I'm getting to be enough of an antique, I am replacing some of my antique tractors. Is there anything more difficult to get on and off than an AC B? Plus I wanted some other features like 3 point hitch, power steering, remote outlets, etc. etc.
I bought a NH TT60A. Several years old, less than 500 hours. It's a basic, simple, Fiat, but with a bunch of electrical "safety" junk added. Working to find out what's draining the battery, I removed the annoying alarm. Fortunately the safety features I wanted intact(like not being able to start it in gear/PTO on) were unaffected. While researching and checking all starting features, I find this solenoid on the back side of the injector pump. Or so I thought. It's actually a "KSB"- kaltstartbeschleuniger- cold start advance, or cold start accelerator according to another translation.
A temperature sensor, in the water pump, closes at 131 degrees F, sends voltage to this unit, whereupon the wax inside is heated, expands, and pushes the rod/arm on the pump, to return the pump to running timing.
Anyone seen this before?!
