My Belarus 825 is having problems with the neutral safety switch or the
12/24 switch. It runns on 12 and starts on 24. Reallly has a weird switch
that has some replaceable fuse links in it and one side has a fuse burned.
To be safe we chjanged the batteries to new before we put in a new fuse link
and it still wont crank. I need the working diagram and I can;t seem to
find one that I had.
I know these are russian tractors, but if you ever get the chance to get
one, they are cheap, reliable, and run on fumes!!! This is the first
problem in 1 1/2 years with my 825. I had a 4wd slip clutch problem in my
8345 and it cost $15 for new clutches. A neighbors JD has what looks to be
the same clutch in his driveline and it was $300 for the clutches....
