John Deere 5310 turns over fine but won't start
This is an odd one for me. My 5310 suddenly started exhibiting this behavior. I turn the key and it acts normally and the starter turns the engine just fine, but it never actually starts.
It does seem like there used to be a faintly audible "click" when I turn the key but not yet all the way, but that click is now absent.
I made a video of me starting the tractor. If you're interested in seeing it and possibly commenting on your ideas, I'd love that.

Re: John Deere 5310 turns over fine but won't start
No smoke while cranking means "no fuel". Although I'm not familiar with your tractors FI pump. I thinking the "no click" means your fuel shut off solenoid is not energizing. How many hours on the 5310?
Be careful not to overheat the starter motor.Diesels:1987 Ford 2810 895 hours,-2007 Kubota ZD326 195 hours, 1996 Dodge 3500 12 valve Cummins 188k.

Re: John Deere 5310 turns over fine but won't start
My reading suggested the fuel shutoff solenoid may be the problem. The tractor has right at 300 hours.

That fuel shutoff is where I'd start too, after emptying the water trap at the fuel filter bowl. Water is what fixed that no-start problem for me.

Re: John Deere 5310 turns over fine but won't start
I want to add: DO NOT use starting fluid on anything except an engine that is wornout and on its last leg..

Re: John Deere 5310 turns over fine but won't start
We're definitely getting somewhere here.
I went out and checked the fuses. The 20amp fuse for the fuel shutoff solenoid was blown. I replaced it and tried starting it up. When I turned the key, I heard a click (more of a snap, actually). It wouldn't start and I checked the fuse but the new fuse had been broken!
So, this fuse is being blown each time. What would cause the fuel shutoff solenoid to blow its own fuse?
