Does anyone know of another site that has knowledgeable owners/mechanics of New hollands? I am located far for any major cities and just can't seem to find any other forums and seem to always need info about my LX885. Thanks

Thanks

Whoa not everyone at once.. Anyways, I talked to mechanic that told me if the is any air present in the system the pump will NOT pump. So I am going to try and manually fill the entire system (since my hand pump is bad.) and see if it does the trick. I will post results either way.

yeah our setups are different, I have cleaned most lines leading to the injector even went as far as taking off the front part of the injector when the injector filter is and cleaned out that area. the problem was be inside the pump. It has been really warm so using hot water I don't think will...

I have an lx885 w 2700 hours and have worked on it more than I have used it. 2 weeks ago when it was down in the teens I started the unit but it was so cold the seat belt switch was frozen and the bucket would not work. skip ahead a week, tried to start the unit but it only cranks and cranks...

Wait, so you had the oil pressure switch and hydro pressure waring lights blinking followed by the "stop" light flasing????

Hey wait, it was you that mentioned the diodes to me! haha..

Sorry for the delayed response. Me suggest Diodes? Um I don't think so, someone mentioned that to me but since I don't know where/what diodes are, I haven't checked them/it. Oh yeah, I think the member that suggested diodes was from another country..? I think I tracked down the symptons of a bad...

5 prong plug replaced with no change, I also changed the fuses, no luck. It seems like some sort of safety switch or bad relay/solenoid..? Well I ended up running a wire from the middle prong of the key switch straight to the starter and bypassing all the saftey crap and it works. My problem...

I sit in the EIC powers up, oil pressure light comes and flashes for about 5 times (while in preheat) and then the Hydro Charge Pressure light comes on as well and when I try to start the stop light comes on the unit will not turn over. The oil pressure light is normal (from what I understand)...

Hahaha, yes I know where the boxes are located I was just wondering how to access the part you were refering to. I topped off my hydro fluid but the under seat dipstick is saying I'm under the "Minimum", I may have a clogged suction tube..? The low oil pressure light is coming on before start up...

Thanks for jumping in, are you refering to the fuse box by the motor? do you have to remove the fuse panel from the cab where it's mounted and is that where the "trailer" type plug is? did your unit click when you tried starting it? as if the starter solenoid was stuck,etc? I may start a new...

Nevermind I see this guy never came back to the site, so I won't hold my breath.

Did you ever get this figured out? I have the same issue (LX885) but my faults are coming up under the Hydro charge and oil ressure switches. The unit will NOT crank , service manual says it should crank but not fire, this isn't the case, switch it to service and it runs fine. Please post up...

****UPDATE*****I called one of the mechanics I have been talking to and informed him of what was going on and he asked if I was sure the solenoid was bad and after telling him the story he asked if I had the plunger inserted in the solenoid when I checked it, which I didn't, it fell out when I...
