JD 4700 Will Not Start ? ! ?

[pking]

We have a 4600, and have had this problem happen before.

The fuel shut-off will sometimes stick on the back of the injection pump. I believe there are 2 10mm bolts that hold it in. You need to take it off and clean the rod, and inside of the shut off solenoid with a small round wire brush (like one from a gun cleaning kit) and lube with di-electric grease.

Forgot to update, replaced thermistor, started, it worked then it I shut it off. Now it doesn't crank or do anything when I turn the key.

I bet its the battery....check the voltage while trying to start.

Check battery voltage. If batt voltage is good then I suggest to clean/tighten all FOUR batt cable connections

Okay thanks will try that.

on cold mornings sometimes my solenoid doesn't pull in either. Getting fed up with this thermister thing so I want to wire the solenoid so it gets full voltage when the starter solenoid is energized. Anyone see a problem with this? It would still drop back to the low (run) voltage as soon as I let go of the key, normally about 3 seconds.....

Terminals are clean, Battery is fine. Lights are operational. Tried when it was about 65'F whats next?

Does starter do anything when key is turned to start position?

Nothing.

Have you tried CAREFULLY with someone pressing clutch pedal down shorting across from "S" terminal on starter solenoid to upper large terminal? Have you checked all safety(neutral start) switches for continuity?
