Thats exactly what I had to do. The tractor simply went into neutral for some reason. Dealership here said "check" for a disconnected wire under the tractor and check fuses". I have done these things. Fuses are good and didn't see any broken wires.What it means is the computer decided the shuttle should go to neutral. (for whatever reason) When that happens you walk home.
I would ohm out those wires from end to end and not just a visual inspection...Thats exactly what I had to do. The tractor simply went into neutral for some reason.

Pretty sure that's what wiring schematics are for....That's a great idea if you know which wires to "ohm out". There's only a mile of wires in there, and you need to get to both ends of each to "ohm" them out.
I work on a lot of stuff all the time.I guess you work on these all the time, right?
There could be error codes, (provided you can access them) but even with that, you need more to work with than an ohm meter. Whether it's an E series or M series, after 2015 you get into the most complicated computer systems.

That would be an easy pass for me.This repair is beyond my experience and pay grade. I agree with Harry and Jeephead on getting professionals involved. I'll post when the problem has been identified and repaired. FYI- my JD 5075 with cab and loader cost $38,800 on September 20, 2016. Dealership quoted $83,000+ for a new 5075 yesterday.
Okay, on Friday 6th, 2024, John Deere Somerville, TN came to my farm to look at my 5075. Took the service tech about ten seconds to pull a 10amp fuse that was bad. There were two wires that had pulled loose under the cab. One wire came in contact with a metal box that caused the short. I'm such an idiot for not checking ALL fuses.Thanks, Harry for your reply and I agree with you, it is time for the Varsity First Team to move in with their Diagnostic equipment.
Great information and the picture is worth a thousand words. I'm close to 400 hours. Thanks LCG.The only issue my 18 5075E ever gave me was my shuttle wouldn't go forward to reverse and vice versa without kicking into neutral, or using the clutch. It would also humb or squeal sometimes. Turns out the screen filter in the transmission likes to clog especially during breakin, and changing the trans/hydraulic fluid sooner than the manual recommends is a good idea. Basically it was just restricting oil flow which was my issue. If you've not changed your trans/hydraulic fluid after 400 hour it would be a good idea. That screen inside the transmission definitely picks up a lot of trash, and debre.
