Hello everyone I am new to this forum. I need help with my Ford Lehman's 135 on my engine will not turn over? And hello thank you for having me.

Did you ask it nicely? What have you done to elicit its cooperation? You haven't been rude to it, have you?

I think you need to provide a little more information. Is/Are the starting battery/batteries charged? What happens when you turn the key/press the starter button? Is there some way to try turning the engine over by hand? (might not be possible with a diesel) What is the history of the engine? Was it running yesterday/a week ago/a year ago/Longer? I am not a diesel guy so I won't be any help. Is the oil black or some other color?

Is the starter battery switch turned on ?
Is the starter battery connected ?
Is the starter battery dead ?
What is the resting voltage of the battery ?
Have you measured the current while attempting to start ?
Do you hear the solenoid click ?
Do you hear the starter engage ?
