Ray - All suggestions on this forum so far have been very good, but with out the proper test equipment, my 2 cents worth at this point would be as Greg suggested. I would put a chain around the front axle (opposite side of the power steering cylinder) and pull it no more than one or two mph, and SLOWLY let the clutch out with the transmission in medium to high gear. (high side of first gear) By letting the clutch out slow, it should start. Once started, check all guages, and hydraulics system for proper operation. If everything checks out at this point, even though you had the starter checked, Las Vegas odds say the starter is bad, if the cables and the connections are okay. Please keep us imformed. Yugo

Mine started like that when it was new, one time it would start and the next time it would drag. The dealer sent me a new starter and it fixed the problem. There was a bad batch of starters and I got one of them. If it starts pulling the tractor, I would suspect the starter motor or a loose connection somewhere.

Don't you just love it when people write about a problem,,,get different advise,,,and then never write back saying what the problem was?????Well,,,like I said,,would bet money its NOT a siezed motor,[or whatever ray was trying to say],,,,gotta be the starting system somewheres,,[well maybe],,,what was it ray,,,,dead battery,,poor ground to frame connection,,,or bad starter????? thingy

Hey John,

I 2nd that emotion... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'm beginning to like riding on the tractor now, more than I like getting on the motorsickle, and am planning on selling the motorbike to apply that money's to my Tractor Activities.

Eventually, She will call him in for Supper and he will remember his Tractor Friends Again. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hopefully , with the info given , another person is in tractor heaven. BTW, I'm going up to my cabin Wed. and am going to try an Auger some holes to put an addition on. If the Huge rocks aren't plentiful, pics will follow........

Yo Joe!

Intersting comment about selling the bike. I did just that and don't regret it a bit. If I do take the tractor to the road at least the car behind doesn't stay there for long. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif And yep... all the money went for tractor goodies.
