    JD 500 'professional mower' starting issue

Im posting here as the groundscare forums dont know the answer, and Im hoping the Hive Mind of the TBN world might come up with a solution (as its a JD and a diesel) I have an error code 3-4 which implies 'starting circuit shorted...

    Nothings broken, everythings fine on my Yanmar....

    flicking through the threads it looks for depressing reading, broken this not working that - so I wondered who, like me, havent had to do a thing (bar servicing) to their Yanmars...?

    Hydraulic pressure from divert low? F22

    Hi my F22 has a hydraulic divert lever under the seat, which switches on a pair of ports, which I have used for the FEL. All works as you would expect, except the lift capacity is poor. is this divert thing limited - or is the main hydraulics suspect? I compare it to my last tractor, with the...

    Hard start, smoke, then knocks, then fine?

    F22D - so a 3T based engine, non turbo. has had a hard life, unloved - the fuel filter was blocked solid. new filter, lines cleaned, injectors re-furbished at great expense. new glow plugs. cylinder 3 (nearest driver) glow plug was difficult to remove due to amount of carbon buildup. other...

    MF35 diverter valve leaking - how to dissasemble?

    I have a probably leaking diverter valve on a 35, as when its set to loader and the control is on 'up', the 3ph lifts first, then the loader lifts. If its set to external (ie tipper trailer) it doesnt do this. I can only conclude that the diverter valve seals are leaking, and allowing pressure...

    Japanese translations of stickers on levers

    I have, as you might have guessed a Japanese tractor.... But I dont speak or write Japanese... But there are now 'apps' for your mobile phone (iphone android etc) that can translate from drawn charachters. Its not easy - it takes a while to get them right, but with a little patience, it is...

    (yawn) F series hydraulics plumbing?

    Sorry - done a bit of searching, cant quite find an answer to my question... I have a F22D (new to me as of yesterday) and I am transplanting my loader onto it. From my research, there appears on some FX series to be a pre-plumbed hose(s). Mine doesnt have this. I do have a small lever...

    Ham fisted monkey broke my tractor...

    35 3ph lifts with loader?

    my elderly neighbour has a 35 and it does something odd: hydraulic 'switch' in 3ph mode - works normally. switch on loader mode - 3ph lifts, then once its at the top, the loader lifts, then acts as you would expect, but the 3ph stays at the top. im guessing there is a leak in the valve...

    levelling 'rods' - why not chain?

    Just had an idea.... when using a flail mower on uneven ground, the mower would wish to follow the contours of the ground, left right as well as forward / back. Why couldnt I use chains from the top lift arm to the bottom lift arms? Maybe with the proviso that the chain has a travel limiting...

    FEL linkage end - why?

    Some FELs have a linkage from the ram end to the bucket - some dont. Why? Some I have seen are a 1:1 ratio as far as I can see... All JCBs have them - so there has to be somthing in it..
