Started tractor yesterday no problem...had glow plug light. Drove into back pasture, moved a hay rack then proceeded to start mowing. All of a sudden while going down a slight incline, tractor starts shaking, obviously losing power. Disengaged the PTO, tractor stops. I tried to re-start, no go. Took a few times and when it started it was still shaking almost acting like it wasn't getting fuel? It quit a few more times, I was able to get it started, shaking some, then started clearing & RPM's would run up, then run back down....did this a bunch more times. I just sat there and let it continue until it seemed to 'clear itself'. It was running full RPM's and I started to take it back to the house/barn and it quit. This time no shaking, it just died. I tried to re-start, NO glow plug lights, NO nothing e.g. would not even turn over. ugh It was getting dark so left it out there. I have not been back out there as of yet. I have been trying to google and see what I may be able to try?
I have always received wonderful help on this forum & have been able to actually resolve some previous issues on my own with your help!! I need to always preface my posts with this: I am a girl who has very little mechanical knowledge and am flying solo here as my husband works out of town.
The battery was JUST replaced less than a yr. ago and the tractor has not seen that much use since then. It has been started and used every couple of months with absolutely NO issues whatsoever. The oil was also changed this spring. It is an '07 that has been maintained all along. We did have an issue previously that about drove us NUTS e.g. RPM's would vacillate constantly....stupid safety switch on the seat!!! Also, had an issue with battery terminals...thought we had all sorts of waaaaaaay more complex issue e.g. relays, fuses etc. and it turned out to be the stupid terminal/cable connection being loose. I thought I should start there? I have no idea how/what/where re: glow plugs So I will probably need some help there?
As always, thank you in advance for any/all suggestions and remember to assume that your instructions need to be in the form of "Tractor Repairs for Dummies"!!!
Thanks guys!!!
