    Fuel pump not getting fuel to injectors John Deere 5410

    If you do not find a blown fuse put in a new thermistor. It’s a ten dollar item. It gives more amperage to open the solenoid and then reduces amperage to keep it open.

    Tractor for land clearing and preparation

    First off consider your costs by the acre for completion. For 300 acres the tractors you are looking at may be too small for the initial work and for the ensuing farm cultivation. I’d suggest about a D8 with tooth rake pulling a very heavy breaking disk for the original work.

    The thermistors have been a problem in the past and their performance may vary. I’ve had a lot of thermistor problems with my JD 4200. Could not find it as it was well hidden inside of a cable bundle. They control the amperage to the injection pump for start up and long time running.
  190. Egon

    JD 2210 Won't Start

    If there is no clack check the injection pump solenoid thermistor. It should be behind the fuse box. The solenoid activates the injection pump. It does not shut off the fuel.
  191. Egon

    4300 glow plugs?

    Another question. When the key is turned on can you hear the injection pump solenoid clack? If not check or replace the thermistor that controls solenoid amperage. It should be in a wiring bundle behind the fuse block. They are under ten dollars.
