Hello all, this is my first post on TBN, and would like to introduce myself. We are having problems getting a SAME Silver 100.6 tractor with HYDRIVE to move. With out sounding arrogant, I'm a pretty decent mechanic with a good concept of electrical knowledge, but would greatly appreciate any assistance with the tractor. First off, I'll start by saying the tractor was at three dealers previously that all gave up on tractor. I bought tractor not moving, and have done the following. With no "limp home" feature, I disconnected the factory harness to the forward and reverse solenoids as well as the proportioning valve. Made a quick wiring harness using a old steering column turn signal switch as my forward/reverse shuttle, and hooked a variable voltage (drive) board to the proportional valve. Ran the ground my wiring through clutch safety switch for engagement, and I was able to make machine move forward and backwards, and shift as smooth as butter. This let me get tractor off trailer and into our shop. This also verified that all the hard parts on tractor are OK, but unfortunately my set-up eliminates all safety's and the entire shuttle ECU. We have the factory service manual, however it does not help much on this particular tractor. Only a small supplement in rear of manual covers a HYDRIVE tractor, so the wiring schematic in the manual does not cover a tractor with shuttle ECU. After getting tractor into shop, I hooked everything back up as from factory. Previous dealer cannibalized the factory shuttle (forward reverse) control switch lever, so I ordered a new one and installed, and no luck.
The HYDRIVE instrument panel is giving a code 35 Pos Pedal NV (broken clutch pedal sensor). I hooked up our ART (SDF all round tester), and calibrated clutch pedal position sensor. I could see the sensor was working on our ART, but was told by Deutz dealer that sometimes sensor will read OK on ART, but a new sensor fixes problem. So I put a new clutch pedal position sensor in, calibrated it, and still no luck. On the monitor page of our ART, I can see inputs from the forward, reverse, neutral on shuttle. As well as clutch limit switch, clutch pos switch, and also the clutch button on gear shifter.
Should I be able to see a reference signal coming from speed sensor on top of transmission on my ART when tractor is running (not moving), or would the speed sensor only show a reference signal once tractor is moving? The Hydrive supplement shows two transmission speed sensors sending inputs to ECU (one on front and one at rear of transmission), however this tractor only has the one sensor on top of transmission towards the front (no rear sensor). I have the sensor out, and it pretty much looks like a crank sensor, is there a way to test sensor now its out?
Any advice and help would be very appreciated.
Thank you, Tom
