Posted by mn1500 on July 13, 2008 at 14:25:44 from (71.177.120.251):
My Ford 1700 has two gauges one is an RPM guage with two red lights one light is a battery and the other looks like an upside down bulb with a oil drop in the middle and two arrows pointing at it lets call this one (bulb). The second gauge has a “C” on the right and a “H” on the left with a needle in the lower middle and a round symbol between the two. Then the ignition key has three words "heat" "on" "start".
1) I am trying to figure out the starting procedure. I thought if I put the key to heat for a minute and then to start while increasing the throttle a bit it would start. My first question is when do I know that the glow plug is ready for the motor to start? 2) Then once the tractor starts if I leave the key on start the battery light stays lit read and the bulb light goes off and the second gauge goes to “C” or midway between the two. So my second question is, is this the correct position for the ignition key once started. 3) or once started if I turn the ignition key to "on" both the battery and the bulb red lights go off and the second gauge goes to the H position. Third question is, is this the correct position for the ignition key? 4) What does the “C” and “H” stands for? 5) What does the Bulb on the rpm gauge stand for? Can anyone help? The tractor is great but the battery keeps dying and I want to find out how to correctly start and run before troubleshooting the alternator or battery. I will email a second picture of the dash if you want so send responses and email addresses. Thanks
