John Deere 445 Will Turn Over But Will Not Start

[DudeJohnDeere]

I have a 1995 John Deere 445 that has been an awesome tractor for the most part. It has been at the dealer 4 times this year and every time it came back something was wrong with it. Now, we decided to try and handle this job by ourselves. We added fuel-full tank, the spark plugs are working, replaced the air filter, and had a metal camshaft put in last year. We cranked it for about 30 seconds and it didn't get close to starting. We think that it is the fuel pump or the fuel injector and we are going to check to see if the fuel injector is working. If anybody has had this same problem, please leave a response to let us know. Thank you. The grass can't get mowed with out the green beauty.

How do you 'know the spark plugs are working' - it doesn't start. ??

Put a little petrol down the intake and it should fire... or not.

If not, I would suspect the module.

Your VOM is your friend here. What is your level of technical ability?

Do you have power at the injector when cranking?

You can also have this problem if your hydraulic fluid is low.

Air sensor in the Throttle body?

ECU Module?

Are the spark-plugs 'wet' after cranking and no-start?

It's been a month now. Either he got it fixed or is lost in his long grass...
