So I am new to Ferguson. I am working on a FergusonTO30 1952 I believe. It is 6volt. I replaced the battery, starter, distributor cap, coil, points. I did
have it turn over a little before replacing the starter (never fired up though (spark issue)). Now after I replaced the starter it won?t do anything. I know
back in the day farmers would replace parts that were not necessarily proper.
The way I was told to start it was turn the key on (which I have bypassed the wire to avoid the question of a bad switch) push the gear shifter over and
forward to start. There is a starter switch/gear shift part #MFS4299 that this site says is for TO20 NOT TO30 as I am working on. If there is a solenoid
on this tractor I would love to know where it is located. I could test or replace it but I have yet to find it.
I feel like I need to get the starter to turn over which will turn the engine then I can work on the spark issue.
I am at a loss for possible solution.
