J2030h Keeps automatically shutting off

[jdom84]

Like KILWERBZZ said back in 2014, this sounds like a fuel solenoid cut off. Must be some cut or loose wires in the loom. To test try running a wire from the battery to the solenoid and see if it still shuts off on you. If you still have the issue you need to inspect the entire fuel system.

The only way to turn off or kill a diesel engine is to remove its fuel.... That is the only way! Although you can technically "kill" diesel engines other ways... but thats not the issue

thank you for the input. I could run a separate [hot] wire off ignition switch to solenoid to maintain it on but i,d rather trouble shoot it if possible !! I field mowed with it yesterday, 5 acres no problem,however the next time i start it it may malfunction.!! It only turns off fuel shutoff solenoid when i depress accelerator or turn on pto switch when in malfunctioning MOOD !!! I checked all 4 safety switches with ohm meter [perfect], used seat switch[i have permanently tied wires together] and used it on the brake pedal, then the pto lever then the neutral safety switch on accelerator pedal. STILL intermittent problem.!!! Do those switches have a definative adjustment?? ANY feedback is welcomed!! There was a postfrom KOMPOSTKING in MAY 2013 and JAN 28 2014 with same problem but he never re posted his found SOLUTION, bummer. Again thanks for your time and interest.

PLEASE contact me concerning your tractor. WHAT did finally fix it??? My problem is similar to yours ! I start it and if you push the acelerator pedal forward or reverse or turn on pto switch the fuel solenoid shuts off engine This has been going on for 6 months SPORADICALLY.I brush hogged 5 acres trouble free yesterday, re starting tractor many times without incident !! The next time ,it may ACT UP. When acting up ,it will idle or rev up for hours UNLESS you try to drive it !!! You can email me or call Bill@719 271 5871 PLEASE!!!

Sounds like your seat switch wiring has an intermittent short or bad connection in it somewhere.

Ok so updates galore. Negative battery terminal was loose i tightened it up and now it doesnt seem to shut down as much " maybe the placebo effect" But it still shuts down moving forward backward plowing rolling compost it doesnt matter what im doing it just shuts downs like a kill switch. I tightened up all grounding points electrical connection greased all contact points with a plug replaced starter relay since I had a spare and replaced ignition since I had a spare. Still shuts down this tractor doesnt have a complicated electrical system. But ive run out of options any one have any Ideas on how to rig up test lights so when it does shut down I can see exactly where the issue is

Watch the dash panel when the engine shuts down. Does the tach drop and lights go out? That would be something like the KEY SWITCH.

If the engine drops out without the other electricals, can you remove/ disconnect the solenoid fuel control/ cut off and run manually? Old school ?

I have a 2023 with the same problem. I replaced the key switch and that didn't fix it. I have narrowed it down to a relay under the dash, but haven't replaced it yet. Go to meter panel, the parts are #4 & 5. When mine won't run I wiggle the relay and it seems to fix the problem for a while.

check dual brake pedal switch. Mine checked ok with ohm meter , but when i jumpered across,, it solved my issues !!! . If the engine dies when you turn on pto then it is definately a safety switch. !!! there are 4 in the circuit !!

my LS2030h only runs when i have my finger on the starter button. When i take my finger off it stalls. Any possible solutions? Thanks

your complaint isn,t clear . your tractor has 4 safety switches all interchangeable The seat 1 is most problem. u can jumper it,then see results !! I finally found my problem to be the brake pedal switch which has 4 wires ! I finally just ran a wire to the ignition switch,, hot when on ,,dead when key is off. There is a quick connect un used there and available. all of the safety switches kill power to the fuel shutoff on the passenger side. This gives me control using the key !! My 1951 8n etc never had any safety switches {just neutral switch} and we survived !!!! Your switches are the # 1problem area with ALL newer tractors !! Hope this helps
