Awaiting arrival of a New Holland "fixer upper" I expect a lot of cussing and spitting along the way.... LX865 turbo (hi flow)
Welcome to HEF John! Those can be fun! (fixer-upper)
Is this Bad?
FUBAR If that's all that's wrong with it though you're in good shape
If you can not fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.
Top quality scrap metal
Someone let the magic smoke outta that one!
Was this machine sitting submerged for a time ?
NO
That looks like a buncha fun. Welcome
It's keeping me busy. Did a lot of cleaning up on the machine .... removed about 50 tons of horsesh*t when I dropped the rear skid plate... Damn Farmers.... my suspicion is the start relay stuck and continued to trigger the solenoid... causing the starter to stay running after the machine fired up. new parts on the way....
And the engine will turn over by hand?
yes
That sounds like an all around sweet deal then. Congratulations on your "fixer upper"
got the old girl running today. took a while to bleed the air from the lift pump.... seems to idle nice.... getting a puff of white smoke on deceleration.... otherwise.... seems good.
