remember I said this is a ford 8n that is gas and without the diode the power runs backwards thru the wire I added to get it to charge at low rpms ,so it is energizing the points,no idiot light on this just a amp meter
I would just double check that circuit I think there has to be something else on that 40 amp relay is way more than a horn would pull ,unless it was used a as air raid alarm in England years ago.
I had a issue with the tachometer,all I did was to reset the pickup on the bellhousing.Turn it in till it stops then back out 1 turn lock in place with a jam nut if I remember right.I think there is a electrical relation between the tach and the hour meter. I have a 2006 ft504a so the two tractors might be close in the ideas they used.
I have a 2006 ft504a .I do not know how much difference there is between the 2 machines but I will try to help you out.
I am not sure but the one with the dipstick might be your hydraulics which is aw-32. you should still be able to tell the difference between aw-32 and hypoid 90,aw-32 is much lighter in weight.and yes you are baaaddd.but hopefully someone else will chime in who is more familar with that tractor.
it might help if you had a volt ohm meter with a 10 amp or so dc scale on it,go inline with the electrical system with the key off to see if the is a drain from the battery then turn the key on but do not engage the start circuit to see how much drain is there ,there might be some to run dash gauges but the amps would be low.but for the battery to be drained with it sitting with the key off I suspect that you will see it with the key off.
I do not know if it is available to you but farm fuel that is diesel that is dyed red might help to see if there is a mixing of fuel and injectior oil going on.
the last 2 words in the post before are very important the diesel bugs can not exist without water so no water no bugs,use see thru bowls on bulk diesel tanks so you can see if water is present,if you do not have a see thru filter system get in the habit of using the petcock to drain off a sample for inspection.
