What to do if your Ford 3600 starts over?
A simple check is to disconnect the wires and plug them together – on the dash side not transmission. If it turns over then the problem is your neutral safety switch.

What should I do if my Ford tractor won’t start?
When the temperature drops well below freezing overnight, do your tractor a favor and slap a magnetic heater on the oil pan about 30 minutes before trying to start it. Grinding the starter until it finally catches is bad. An even worse habit is giving it a shot of starter fluid. I’ve never had a can of starting fluid and never needed any.
Why does my 1979 Ford 3600 not start?
We have a 1979 3600 that is having issues when starting. All the usual suspects have been ruled out. The starter is good, the ignition switch is good and the solenoid appears to be good as well (we can start the engine by shorting across the power and the smaller wire at the solenoid).
How does a Ford 3600 diesel engine start?
It is a diesel and every once in a while, when just using the key, the engine will start and it runs very well. That said, for the most part, when you turn the key to start it, the starter motor pinion engages the flywheel and things turn rather slowly, or not at all.

Why is the solenoid on my Ford tractor not working?
The one small terminal connects to the start pusnbutton, and becomes grounded when the button is pressed. This solenoid only works correctly when it is mounted to the starter with the small terminal facing the engine block. Turn it around and it won’t work.

All the usual suspects have been ruled out. The starter is good, the ignition switch is good and the solenoid appears to be good as well (we can start the engine by shorting across the power and the smaller wire at the solenoid). I am going to start to shoot the wires with a MM to verify continuity, but I do not have a starting system schematic.
