JD 4410 won\'t start

After intense bushhogging yesterday afternoon, I shut it off and went to bed. Got up in the morn after leaving it outside in a thunderstorm (unusual for me as its usually garaged) and it won't start. Engine turns over if I connect the starter + to the starter -, but only turns over without starting. All the lights go on when I turn the key. Could one of the safety switches under the seat or in the tranny or something be out? Could I have ripped the tranny neutral safety out bushhogging?

Is the PTO disengaged? There's a safety switch there too but you probably knew that /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I take it that your are shorting across the starter solenoid to get it to turn over? If so, you can't be in the seat at the same time.

Yes the PTO is disengaged and I am not in the seat but the gears are in neutral. Thanks

If you're out of the seat, wouldn't the seat safety switch keep it from starting?

I often start mine without being in the seat, only the pto engaged would affect this. There are two solenoids under the right side - it is on the side of the transmission. I am pretty sure one is for the pto. Check those wires.

Of course, you have skid plates. Right?

I can definately start my 3320 with the ptos off and me out of the seat. No gears - ehydro (so I guess 1 gear)

I'd definitely check your seat / neutral / pto switches. One may have gotten wet. If it doesn't crank with the key and only by jumping the starter then a safety switch is probably keeping it from starting. It is also possible that one may have come unplugged.

I really don't know what I was thinking. I can start mine too. Brain Freeze /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

When you turn the key on, can you hear the fuel solenoid click? It sure sounds like a safety switch out of whack.

Re: JD 4410 won\'t start

Well, stupid me, I bought the skid plates but haven't put them on yet!!!! I will check the safety switches. They could have been pulled out when bushogging I guess.

Does it smoke when you are cranking it over?

Re: JD 4410 won\'t start

Its indirect injection, they NEVER smoke!!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Hi widmn,

If all your checks are looking good, could be a bad ignition switch...

Same situation happened on mine, turn key & hear fuel pump running, lights all on, power everywhere, just bad switch...

Good Luck!

Re: JD 4410 won\'t start

I always figure that if its a safety switch issue the starter won't engage. If the engine turns over its fuel, probably the solenoid not pulling in. I'm on my second thermister and it is on its way south(only happens when its really cold)
