So I was bush hogging on the tree farm today. Stopped to take a water break, etc....then hopped on the JD; start it up; engage the PTO; put it in gear......and nothing. IT WON'T MOVE!
So I proceed to check the: Parking Brake; is the Bush Hog hung up; start it up again after each check.....nothing. Try every gear....nothing. Now go under the tractor (don't worry its off)....looking for broken linkages; transmission parts; fluid spewing.........still nothing. Wait, lets try 4WD, maybe the front end will pull if something's wrong in the back........nope. Each time I put it into gear I get nothing but a click-click-click from the tranny...........**** I musta busted something.
Now some of you may already know the solution, but for those of you who need to learn these things the hard way (like me)....here's what was wrong with my JD990 - IT WAS THE RANGE SELECTOR! AGHHHHH! What a Charlie Brown move.....I musta bumped it inbetween ranges and a range was not properly selected....hence the click-click-click.
Now I am wondering if: 1) have I already done this before?; and 2) how long before I do it again? Stupid, stupid, stupid man......
