Always glad to hear someone has fixed the problem and is back at work.

Farm Pro 2420 Starter Issues

I recently noticed that my 1998 JD 445 runs normally under nearly all conditions (slow, medium, & full throttle idle; full throttle medium load with mower engaged; and full throttle heavy load with mower engaged, traveling, and mowing). Under light load (full throttle, mower disengaged, traveling) it hunts or surges and blows some black smoke.<br>
<br>
I checked the fuel pressure and flow rate. Both were well into the normal range. I replaced the fuel and air filters just on principle. Nothing changed.<br>
<br>
I've gone through all the tests for the air temp, coolant temp, and MAP sensors. Resistance values are close to spec, and all the sensors respond properly: for the temp sensors, resistance goes down with increased temperature; for the MAP sensor, output voltage is near 5v under ambient conditions and drops with increased vacuum.<br>
<br>
I disconnected one sensor at a time, and the injection status indicator light displayed the correct long / short blink sequences for each one. The one thing I did notice is that previously, if I started the engine during the initial 2-second fuel pressurization, I'd get a long-long-short-short blink sequence. Now, even if I start the engine with no initial pause, I don't get that indication.<br>
<br>
Please tell me that I'm not looking at a fuel injection control module replacement to the tune of over $1.2K.

I know it�s a pretty simple harness & I could just trace the wire colors from front to back. But I�d like to know Deere�s intended purpose for the wires before I start hijacking them. It might also help identify part numbers for the mating connectors I will need.

Has anyone ever tried to add front brakes to a CX Gator? Wondering how hard it would be to adapt front brakes from say a TX to the CX?

I feel your pain with the cost of the parts. I don't feel to bad, because I told my dealer that ever since I owned my 970, probably over 25 years and 2600 hrs. of not light work, the only major thing I replaced was the hydraulic pump, 1 month out of warranty. My dealer, Cope Equipment in Kinsman,Oh. also gave me a hand with that. My total cost was $175 for the JD module, $80 for aftermarket part to work with the alternater, and approx. $270 for JD selonoid & relay. I did not order the relay.but my dealer did, so I figured he was trying to tell me something, so I replaced the relay also. I gave the guy that helped me diagnois the wiring $100. One thing I might say, I may be wrong, but everytime I replaced a part, even though it wasn't my problem for the tractor not running, it seemed to run better, so I don't fill I wasted alot of money.

Not good, sounds like a crankshaft rod bearing has lost it's cap. When you took the oil pan off what did you see?

RossJonnes,

I run a tree care company. I make a living with my saws.

Don't waste your time with anything else......just buy the Pferd CS-X sharpening system. It's about 35 bucks.

You will absolutely NEED to know your chain pitch and style. There are different sharpening tools for each chain pitch, etc.

For example, you will need to know if your chain is 3/8" (375), .404, or ..325" pitch. You will also need to know if you have the micro style.

Chain gauge is the thickness of the drive link. New chains must fit properly in the rail in your bar. The most common gauge widths are .058, and .063. There are others.

Measure center to center of three rivets on your chain. Pick any three rivets and measure from the center of rivet 1 to the center of rivet 3. That's your pitch. Gauge is measured by putting a caliper on the drive link and measuring the width.

Hope this helps.

Joel

A little info on the machine in question will go a long ways to helping us point you in the right direction. Make, model, hours?

It's been my experience that if more than one, but less than all the lines are losing their prime it's one of two culprits, the injector pump or the injector tips.

Although not guaranteed, the best way to tell is the starting itself. When it starts does it blow any smoke? If so, what colour? Also, check the oil, maybe get a sample tested. Does the oil have a diesel smell to it?

If the tips are dirty and bleeding down the diesel will end up in the cylinders, generally this means it blows very noticeable white smoke on start up, and some of it will leak down past the rings and contaminate the oil.

Best of luck.

The tractor has a Koyker 110 FEL. The loader no longer raises unless I concurrently raise the gannon, at which point it operates normally. Float, or lower the gannon, and the loader will not raise. The scoop will lower and raise. The loader will eventually lower to the ground.<br>
<br>
Not sure how to gauge whether or not there is sufficient hydraulic fluid in the system. There is no dipstick, no bubble in which to gauge the fluid level.<br>
<br>
I have a manual (basically Japanese). I've identified where the filters are located (2), but have never disassembled before. Have not worked with hydraulic before, but fairly handy with tools once steered in the right direction. How do I relieve the hyraulic pressure before attempting to check filters?<br>

Thanks you.

Try new fuel and add some cetane booster. Somewhere in the 7305 is some widget that messes with the fuel & intake systems when the engine gets warm; it'll run fine for a few minutes when cold then sputter/lose power/die with the widget kicks in. Kinda like an automatic choke on a carbureted gas engine, but I'm sure that's not how it's rigged.

I trust it's warm enough already in NH that your fuel isn't waxling up in in the fuel bowl? Usually a below-freezing issue...

Hi Murf,

If you are approaching the Broadway VOR BWZ send me a text and I am on the next ridgeline across the valley 5 miles south east.

Watch out for the commercial jets because they use this route to land in Newark and fly pretty low on occasion.

Plus in summer Trump is at Bedminister so Fighter Jets patrol the no fly zone which I am on the north western border.

I took out the thermo and ran until warning lamp came on. No fan, no heat at hose out of pump. No heat at radiator. I had a fair amount of white smoke when i ran it this way but not much when thermo is in. . I replaced head gasket on rear cylinder recently and was told the front cylinder was recently machined so i never messed with it since it’s difficult to access and figured it was okay. Compression is in spec but on low end on rear cylinder. I can’t really tell that there is coolant in the oil. What would be next place to check given all this? Seems like maybe a leak at front cylinder would be possible but compression checks out.

I have a 2017 John Deere Gator with only 142 hours that has no spark on either spark plug....I have replaced the coils and it has a new battery. Everything else works with the key in the run mode, lights, winch, starter, fuel pump, dash computer and I have 12 volts to the coils.<br>
<br>
There is a light on the dash computer that shows a manual and wrench indicating a ECM error but nothing in the user manual for retrieving any ECM error codes.<br>
<br>
Any ideas on how to retrieve the error codes on this model, (without hauling it to a JD dealer) it does not use a standard ODB tool. Any ideas on what could be preventing the coils from providing ignition spark to the plugs?

I'll try to take a look at one of ours and get back to you. Ours are Turf Gators that do not have differential locks, so they may be different anyway.

When I posted earlier I was apparently caffeine deficient.

I meant to say I thought the OP's problem was linkage, and that the problem "pinhmd" was having was gear related. I've edited my post now to make it read correctly.

In the very first post the OP says "When lever is in the [b][u]neutral position[/u][/b] and I push on the forward reverse foot pedal this tractor moves...".

If you can drive the tractor around with the range selector in neutral there's a problem in the linkage that allows the lever to be in the neutral while the transmission in still in gear.

Sorry for the earlier confusion.

Best of luck.
