Product Overview
The shutoff solenoid controls fuel delivery at key-off so the diesel engine stops cleanly. A failed coil, sticky plunger or damaged wiring can cause a tractor that will not shut down, will not stay running, or intermittently loses fuel depending on how the solenoid fails.
Because Massey Ferguson used different engines and fuel-system revisions within model families, confirm the old solenoid’s mounting, connector and any stamped reference number before ordering.
Key Features & Performance
- Controls fuel-on/fuel-off function for compatible 4200-series tractors
- Useful when diagnosing no-start, intermittent shutdown or engine-will-not-stop complaints tied to the solenoid circuit
- Designed around the listed Massey Ferguson applications rather than a universal diesel-solenoid fit
Product Details
- Component: Fuel shutoff / cutoff solenoid
What to Verify Before Ordering
Compare connector, plunger/lever arrangement, mounting pattern and any original part number before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when a fuel shutoff solenoid fails?
Depending on the failure mode, the engine may crank without starting, shut off unexpectedly, or continue running after the key is turned off.
Should I test wiring before replacing the solenoid?
Yes. Check supply voltage, grounds, fuses and linkage movement so an electrical fault is not mistaken for a failed solenoid.
