Dirt Moving stalled while working

[rjgarcia1]

i own an l39 and while digging the motor stopped. i have checked everything that i can think of and the only thing i found was that the hydralic fluid was super low. Is there a sensor that shuts the motor down if the fluid is low.

Not aware of any low oil sensors, but if the engine slowed and died, I would check the fuel delivery first (filter, fuel quality, etc). If it just died or shutoff like turning the switch, I would check the electrical interlocks and relays first.

Perhaps others with more knowledge on this particular tractor will comment.

thanks
After the engine shut down the ignition key will not turn the engine as if there was some sort of interruptor. would the itellipanel have some thing to so with the interruption is there a reset?

 

[jbrody44]

do yo have a seat sensor that may have opened?

 

[moship]

I am not aware of any reset on the intellipanel for this symptom... At least not on the one for my L3130.

good luck.

RJGarcia,

Welcome to TBN. You will get a lot of help and suggestions here, however if you provide a more detailed description of your location, temperature and operational situation before and when this happened I think you will get better results.

The analogy is when your wife or significant other calls and says - it just stopped HELP! We need more information..

For instance,
Were you digging with the hoe or the bucket,
What was the outside temp, then engine temp
What were you doing just before it quit,
How long was it running before it quit - hour, 4 hours, 10 min
What was the RPM
Were you on a steep slope,
How many hours on the unit
Do you have leaks - if so where and is it Hyd or Fuel
Did you lose digging force prior to it stopping
If Hyd where do you think the hydraulic fluid went,
When was the last time you checked the hyd fluid,

Then the simple stuff, fuel, fuel filter, interlock switches etc.. there are a number of switches that could cause this and its a process of elimination to figure out which one it is.

There is a clutch, PTO, range selector switch and maybe more, but I dont know of any hyd fluid low level switch..

So start with the simple things as it is usually the issue/problem - I hope..

Carl

to answer a few of your question. i was digging with the hoe. the machine was running good for the first 2 hours until shut down, the temp was about 80 F. i have not noticed any leaks of any oils or fuel i just bought the machine and only has run under my control for 8 hours. it did shut off a couple of times that morning but cracked right back up., there is a dash light that i have never seen before came on with the symbol of a tractor over a box bottom left side of the panel. any other ideas. I have looked at all my relays under the dash everything has power.

The icon of the tractor over a box is for the mid PTO.

Almost sounds like he hit the PTO lever and its still in the on position. Check your PTO lever make sure its off.
