Compatible Models

We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.

Compatible equipment / model
  • Case IH 7110, 7120 and 7130 tractors
  • Case IH 7230, 7240 and 7250 tractors
  • Case IH 9310 tractor
  • Related 7140, 7150, 7210, 7220 and 9330 applications only when the installed 3921978-style solenoid matches

Product Overview

A tractor that cranks without moving the pump lever, fires and dies when the key returns to RUN, or will not shut off can have a failed pull/hold solenoid. Cab-power relays, cranking relay, ground, linkage, and wiring voltage drop are equally important diagnostic checks.

The solenoid pulls the injection-pump lever to RUN, holds it during operation, and releases it at key-off. It does not repair pump calibration or correct a restricted fuel supply.

Match 3921978, 12 volts, rod length and clevis, mounting bracket, connector or leads, tractor serial range, Cummins engine, and injection-pump lever. Some Case IH listings use J921978, J923257, or J928160 for related configurations, so compare carefully.

Compatibility Notice

Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application that is not shown above. Model year, production date, serial number, engine or equipment specification, installed options, and previous repairs can change fitment. Match the original part, reference number, dimensions, connectors, mounting points, and product photos before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does a Magnum start but die when I release the key? A: The pull circuit can work during cranking while the hold feed or cab-power relay fails in RUN.

Q: Will 3921978 fit every 7120? A: No. Serial and injection-pump configurations can change; compare the old solenoid and engine information.

Q: Can a weak ground damage operation? A: Yes. Voltage drop can keep the solenoid from pulling or holding fully.

Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
