Just wondering if anyone has experienced problems starting their 5325, 5425 or 5525 Deere and keeping it running. Have a tractor that will crank and start, runs for 3 seconds, RPM's fall off/surge, dies, and won't restart. This is after it has been setting for a few days. Fuel system must be bled to get it to run. Please elaborate if you have experience similar problems. Thank You.

I would check all the rubber hoses for any wear or pinholes, I feel like you are getting air into the system and losing prime from sitting. I was working on a backhoe that would do that. I replaced the fuel hose from the tank to the fuel pump and not had anymore problems.

I got a 5325, no problem starting, just electrical problems, blowing fuses.
