Gasoline or diesel?

If your battery has enough power to start the engine but the solenoid is bad, just touch the two large posts on the solenoid at the same time with a piece of metal like an old screwdriver.

Should have handles on side cover.

Two screws on back side of latch.

the head bolt torque is 130 +or- 5ftlbs and as far as sequence if not sure start in the middle of the head and work your way out alternating side to side and in an X. Step up to 130 by starting at 80-100-115-130.

where is thermostat located on 1300 duratec

where is the thermostat located on 1300 duratec engine

might be a fuel pump, or clogged fuel filter

it sounds like the carb is gummed up you will need to remove the carb and clean it out with carb cleaner and rebuild it with a rebuild kit(it's a fairly easy job)...good luck

The solenoid on the bottom of the float bowl is called a fuel cut solenoid. When you turn off the key, it closes the hole in the jet so that the engine will not overrun when shut off (dieseling)

There are no needle bearings in the carb, they came from someplace else. And I suspect a connecting rod. The only place I can think off where they could have come from. And I'll tell you why. I had a 66 Saab, 3 cyl, 3 carbs, 2 stroke,4 speed on the column, front wheel drive, rack and pinion steering, way ahead of it's time. Neat little car. Never got stuck. But, I had a problem once with a piston slapping, I could stick my finger in the spark plug hole and feel the piston come up and fall down, I said what the? So I replaced the engine, I had a spare. Took off the head and the top of the piston was just peppered with needle bearings from the wrist pin. How they got up there , I don't know, but they were there. Hope this helps.

Here is the complete operators manual for your Deere 6405.

Does the starter get hot? In 20 seconds of use it shouldn't get more than toasty warm.

If the starter isn't heating up excessively I'd think the next thing to consider is the batteries. They don't last forever, and heavy use when starting can just wear them out to where they have a short cycle under heavy load. Check the electrolyte in the batteries too, low electrolyte will cause a battery to act just like a smaller battery than it is.

How does it run? Any smoke at idle, that sort of thing? If the pump timing is late it can make for a hard-starting motor. Is there any leakage in the fuel return that could cause the injector pump to be losing its prime? Are you getting good thick white smoke from the exhaust right from the time you hit the starter?

Honestly, 20 seconds of cranking is a lot for a diesel.. Cranking speed can be critically important in starting a diesel, and you get the best cranking speed in the first few seconds. If this motor has glow plugs go through them and make them work. If you can park it near an outlet put a block heater on it and stick a cheap hair dryer in the intake when you start it, you wouldn't believe how well that works.

If there's no way to warm it up then you gotta ether it. A can or two of ether a month can save you a lot in starter wear and hard battery use. The trick is to use as little as possible- you want it to fire smoothly with no knocking. Heating your ether can on the defrosters helps some too, just don't forget it there..

Give all this some thought, get back with me and let me know what you've tried and how it's working for you, we'll take it from there.

Sounds like its a little lean. Back out the high speed adjustment(bottom of bowl)about half turn, that should do it. If its blowing black smoke turn it in a little.

Start out with three turns and go from there!

Comshaw,
Good, you want to do it yourself. Only problem is that the carbs have two jets, one each for the air and gas. One of them has to be adjusted while the other one is fully tight. Please check which one is fully tight and remember it. The other has to be tightened fully initially and then unwound two and a half turns or so. Just remember to differentiate between the two. Other wise you can strip it completely without breaking any thing. Also keep a notebook handy to not down what you did when and how. For future use and also while assembling it. You can even use gas to wash it with. It would be as clean as it could be. When you run the engine after reassembling the carb you must adjust the not tight jet to get the correct engine RPM. The idea is that if it is low then the engine would tend to stall while if it is high the RPM would go up and waste the precious fuel. So depent on your ears to get the correct RPM unless it has a tachometer. All the best.
