starting problem

L3700SU. Repairing road after 5” rain yesterday. Shut down to fuel and no restart, acting like dead battery. Ran jumper cables and no go, showing 14volts. Lights work and glow plugs work but turn key to start, a couple of labored revolutions and click. I have the service manual and will...

My son was moving some stuff around the yard, tractor was running fine, he put it in neutral (it's a hydro) and when he got off the seat it died. Turn key and no crank. Here's what I've tried/learned so far: Turning on the key the dash lights up Turn key to start position and nothing happens...

Had to replace alternator on my 2020 massey ferguson gc1723e now dash is dead an it won't start. Replaced slow blow fuses an checked the rest

I have an old version of the cranking system that I have been using to check the starting system. But my tractor is a 1995, and has a B in the serial number instead of an A, so I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge of where I might get a new version of the cranking diagram? Some of the wires on...

I have a 2020 DK5310SE. Several months ago, it developed an issue where at any random time, I could get on the tractor, turn the key, all the lights would come on, but the starter wouldn't do a thing. I could try and try, moving the shifter in and out of gears, moving the brake pedal up and down...

Here's what I know: battery checks out at 12.24 volts. tractor won't turn over. jumped, it will turn over until the jump starter quit .but not start, tho it did a couple of times yesterday. My best guess: starter is faulty? Any helpful tips or ideas? Chuck (not-a-mechanic) Barnett

PT425 ran great yesterday, won't start today and is backfiring through the carb. It will try to start, pop, and sputter, but can't get her going. Tried a little starting fluid in the carb and it tried to start and backfired through the carb and cought the overspray on fire-- small fire, just...

Hi All, I am hoping there maybe someone that had a similar issue or some expert wisdom out there to help with diagnosis. When I try to start the engine it turns over slowly and I get grey / black smoke from the exhaust. It does eventually start but struggles. This happens even after it has...

Hello all! I've been having trouble with my B2910, and the key is not turning the starter solenoid on. 650 hours I ran the tractor for a few hours, and then turned it off near the house to go run in and grab some chains. Came back, and it would not start. Dash Lights did come on though when...

My low-hours 855 (1997 model, no glow plugs) has developed a pain-in-the-ass cold-starting problem. Even on non-cold days it will not start unless I (1) plug in the freeze plug heater for an hour or more and (2) place a 100-watt light bulb in the engine compartment for at least an hour. (The...
