Good to hear it is working better for you. I have replaced several of these over the years. Keep us posted on this problem.

There is a rod that connects the rear hitch to the mower lift mechanism. I am guessing that a pin has fallen out or the rod is broken.

Extreme heating of the oil can cause many problems, but not necessarily so. How long did you run it like that? Extended running in relief can damage the pump, seals and orings throughout the system. If everything is working well now, then probably no pump damage occurred. If you start developing leaks in various places, then you can probably blame the heat for damging seals. Hopefully you didn't run it long enough to cause any real harm, But I also recommend oil and filter change as well as sump screen cleaning. If you find any aluminum shavins in the screen, that is a strong indicator of pump damage. Good Luck!

My guess is the solenoid timer delay module has failed. The timer supplies current to the "pull-in" windings for a brief time and then the "hold-in" windings keep it engaged. If the "pull-in" windings are energized too long, they will fail. As you have determined, the "hold-in" windings are still working. The timer part number is M803344. It is an expensive part. You might want to have your dealer diagnose it to be sure.

You might also want to check your brakes to be sure they aren't dragging. If you have it on a level surface and put the transmission in neutral, You should be able to push it easily by hand, or if you jack it up, the rear wheels should rotate freely.

Glad to hear it was a fairly simple repair. I didn't realize they started using the electronic clutch control on the 4x10 series reverser. The 4x00 series had a rod.

Error code 57 stands for Transmission control unit not responding. I would suspect a bad controller, a blown fuse, a problem with the power wire to the controller, or a bad ground wire to controller. You mentioned that tracor would "stop", or "Stall". Do you mean the engine stopped running or just the transmission stops?
Check the Black 050 ground wire at controller and red 552 12 volt power wire at controller. I had a new tractor with a bad 050 ground wire. Had to replace the wiring harness. It was so intermittent that it drove me crazy finding it. Hopefully your dealer has a sharp electrical guy (or gal).

Since it seems to blow the fuse when bouncing, I might suspect the seat switch or wiring in that area. Maybe when the suspension on the seat is going up and down, something is rubbing a wire. Another place to look is the electromagnet on the clutch lever. Since the magnet moves everytime the lever moves, there could be chafing going on there.

A quarter to half inch play sounds like a lot to me. Is it loose in the area where the shaft telescopes? If so, I have seen that much looseness cause alot of vibration. I realize the shaft is expensive. Do you know anyone with the same mower, that you could borrow a shaft to try? How about your dealer? Does he have a used machine in stock that he might let you borrow the shaft as a test? I am betting it will cure your problem. That shaft spins alot faster than a rear 540 rpm shaft. Looseness is more critical.

It sure sounds to me that you have a bad quick coupler on your hydraulic connections. Sometimes the check valve in the end of the male or female couple goes bad and won't unseat when the connection is made and no fluid will pass through. I would recommend replacing both male and female couplings in the boom lift circuit.

You might want to check all of the oil lines from pump to the steering to make sure nothing is bent or kinked. Since you are smelling the oil, I think it is overheating for some reason. A kinked line, bad relief valve, overload from oversized tires or too much weight on front axle could do this.

There are other alternatives to calcium chloride for your tires. We use magnesium chloride which is just as heavy, but is less corrosive than calcium. We also use windshield washer fluid or ordinary engine antifreeze for customers that are really against the two "salt" based chlorides. you lose about 2-3 lbs per gallon with them though. Also, calculating the amount of weight needed is not really on a one-to-one ratio in comparison to the amount of weight you want to lift with the loader. As mentioned above, there is a teeter-totter effect, but the pivot point is not in the center of this equation in most cases. The pivot poin is the front tires and the load in the bucket is alot closer to the pivot point than the back wheels. Therefore, 500 lbs in the rear tires has more than a 500 lb effect on the bucket. Also, 500 lbs on the hitch has far greater effect than 500 lbs in the tires. There are too many variables to make specific recommendations for all situations. Length of loader past front wheels, tractor wheel base, Tire size, length of implement used for ballast all play into this. Not to mention type of terrain you operate on will greatly affect amount of ballast needed. Using common sense and keeping loads as low to the ground as possible are the best safety rules.

Another option is to install a 12 volt conversion kit. You add a 12 volt starter and alternator along with some minor wiring changes to cconvert ot a "normal" 12 volt system. Around $600.00 from ytmag.com. http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/store/parts/convcat.htm. I'll see if I can find a schematic for you.

Is the engine cranking? If so, are you seeing any smoke from the exhaust? Do you hear a loud click when the key is turned on? The fuel shutoff solenoid may be not working. Give us some more details and we can help more easily.

I had a customer complain of this when he listened to AM. We ended up installing an external antenna. the factory under-roof antenna was very close to the blower motor and picked up static from it. Are you listening to AM or FM?

A couple of things come to mind. First, there is a fusible link on this tractor. It is located near the starter. On the same post that the battery wire is attached to the starter, there is another wire that is about 5-6 inches long with two connectors attaching it to the harness. The key switch gets current from this link by way of the F1 fuse. There should always be 12 volts at the F1 FUSE. If not, then the fusible link is probably bad. Second, in your first post, you mentioned replacing the battery terminal clamps. Be sure to check the connection between the clamp and the cable. I have seen these clamp on ends have a poor connection due to corrosion cause a lot of problems. They should be considered a temporary fix only until you can get a new complete cable.

The 55 series have an adjustable eyebolt that connects to the return spring. You may e able to adjust the tension on the spring to help. More likely, the pivot on the link that attaches to the other end of the spring is probably sticking. There is a grease fitting on this pivot point, but they are notorious for not getting greased often enough because it is pretty well hidden. You will probably need to disassemble this pivot point, clean and lube it then reassemble. This same pivot is mounted on an eccentric bushing that adjusts neutral.

I would check your pressure with a gauge. Depending on oil temperature and rpm, you should have somewhere between 25-50 psi. The light should not flicker until pressure drops to 6- psi. It sounds like you might have a wire shorting out somewhere. If the wire between the light and the sender is pinched or rubbed through somewhere, it will cause this problem.
