JD950 Won't Start

[irwin]

This time around it was nothing more than a dead battery, lucky me I did read the string suggested and will keep an eye out for wiring issues. If that happens, the tips in the other string will be what I'll try first.

Thanks all

Glad you're good to go. Can't get off much better than replacing a battery that died of old age.
I'll be replacing my 5 year old battery before this winter hits.

My 950 apparently got fixed as one of the wiring connections associated with the starter loosened up over time.

The tightened connection seems to be providing better contact, and starting is more predictable.

That is good to hear. As part of the battery install, I went through and checked / tightened connections. I'm confident it was the battery but this step seemed logical to include while in the swing of things.

Now I just need to spend some time on that little leak in the backhoe manifold and the old 950 will be in tip top shape.
