Love itt im in the prosess of restoring my 1974 3000 diesel

You do a good job of explaining what you are doing but because of my technical limitations I need to know the WHY of installing what to what. thanks

Thanks. I'll try to add some whys but it's hard to be through without being long winded.

if you have an alternator internally regulated, do you still need that voltage regulator on teh steering column?

No. Nothing else on the tractor hooks to the voltage regulator. Everything will hook to battery, junction block or ignition switch.

Do you have the part number for the starter solenoid or the NAPA#? I’ve heard that they can’t be grounded through the bracket and needs to be through wire.

I dont have a number. I'll see if I can find one. Yes it can't ground on the bracket for the starter relay. Glow plug one can. If the starter relay grounded through the bracket the starter push button wouldn't work and your starter would run anytime yoy turned the ignition switch on since switched 12v feeds that relay.

@@chickenhousemechanic great thank you. I’ll be re-wiring my 1963 4000 diesel soon. Great video. 👍

@@cbrrod thanks. Looks like the napa solenoid you'd need is ECH ST67. That appears to be an insulated coil solenoid. I'd take an ohm meter with you to napa and check just to be sure.

Just got the solenoid. Have not installed it but multimeter verified it is not grounded through the frame. So it should work. Thanks again.

How is any of your grounds going to properly work with all that paint Where you have put them

Through bolt threads. You can clean paint off if you want but I didn't have any issues with grounds. To be honest I was surprised that my fuel sending unit is grounded. I have the tank setting on rubber and only way for it to ground is through the bolts hitting the tank brackets and all those are fully painted as well.

Is that all new tank and sending unit ?

No they're both original.

Im rewiring a 4000 with a Dennis Carpenter harness. Ive follwed this video carefully. I have nothing when I depress the starter button. I have no 12v at the starter button with the key on. What did i do wrong?

If you don't have 12v at the start button I'd suspect the starter relay is bad. 12v should be on the red wire at start button until its pressed and grounded. At that point the relay should drop the 12v and you'll see near 0v at the start button. Make sure the ignition switch is working as well since that is how the red wires get battery voltage. Yellow is battery voltage on the key switch and should see 12v on red wires when turned on.

@@chickenhousemechanic I changed out the new "ford" style relay that I had purchased at NAPA for one I got from Steiner Tractor, FDS282, and it works perfectly.

@@kraylake12 good to hear. Based of your other comments on Facebook that's what I figured it was.

This is good but they will not allow it to dowm load. Why?

I honestly have no idea. Don't know if there's a setting on KZread that controls that or not.
