I have a recent purchase 7235, 3 cyl diesel 4x4 Hydrostatic Drive with FEL. I just had it service with a Hydraulic Oil change with filter(s). The tractor has 1258 hrs, only 8 are mine. Engine oil was just changed along with a new fuel filter.
Today the tractor died. It ran for about and hour, then crapped out. The tractor needed to be jumped today in order to start it, which was the first time since I have owned it. It sat parked for just all of May and fired up after a month of sitting. Today, after running last weekend, stored inside, it wouldn't start. Jumped it, and it fired right up.
Moved some gravel around for about 45 min then went down a hill?retty steep. I came back up with a load in low, about 1800 RPM, and then it just sounded like it was lugging, lost RPM and stalled. Started and ran for about 20 seconds and died I needed to jump it again and then it did the same thing Hydro oil was low, and I added more? jumped again, ran 30 seconds?ut under load and stalled. No odd smoke or smell. Then she wouldn't even turn over with any speed even with a jump? I parked it in the road, on a grade and had to leave.
My dozer is down and my truck was 2 hours away, so I couldn't even tow it to the barn.
Any ideas????
Engine oil is new and full.
Hydro Oil was just changed, but low and I added a bit more.
Fuel is fresh and clear.
Battery condition is questionable from the previous owner.
Thanks.
