Hi guys,
My neighbor has a 1969 (I think) John Deere 4020. He only really uses the tractor a few times a year to bush hog 30 acres. He was bush hogging and literally made one pass and the tractor just cut off on him altogether. I saw him in the field broke down and I went down to see if I could help. After trying for 2 or 3 minutes, I got it to crank again. I drove it up the hill to his shop to get a better look at it. Just as I got up the hill on his property, it cut off again. I know absolutely nothing about electrical components or anything like that but I would like to help him out if I can. Needless to say, the tractor is still parked where it died. For a newbie like myself, what should I be looking for? It's not choking or chugging along, it literally just cuts off. That's why I'm leaning toward something electrical. Any help is appreciated.
