Hi, I have a John Deere 2305 tractor and the PTO won't engage. The switch was acting up a bit when I tried to start the tractor, sometimes I had to work the switch a couple of times to get the tractor to start. I just got done replacing the drive shaft and had to take a lot of things apart to do...

I found the whole works with u joints and end shafts all attached on ebay for less than JD wanted for just the shaft. I want to thank you for your help It made everything a lot easier. I just got it all back together and now the PTO wont kick in. Any ideas what that might be? The switch seems to...

Hi, I have a john deere 2305 tractor and the back u joint needs to be replaced. Can anyone tell me the best way to remove the shaft? It looks like the whole thing has to come out but I can't seem to get the flooring off so that I can see from the top. Thank you so much in advance from any advice...

After testing everything and checking the wires the diode started smoking when I turned the key on. Turned out to be the fuel shut off solenoid was bad. I replaced that and so far it is working fine. Once again I would like to thank everyone for their help and input. It all helped me to figure...

Do you know which one is the solenoid relay or where I can find the controller and can I test them to see if they are working?

To follow up I checked the diodes and they were all fine. I checked the fuses liked Wvanatti suggested and it turns out that was exactly what it was. A burnt 15 amp fuses under the hood in the fuse box with a white cover. Thank you all for the help and advise, it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for the help. I did have a problem with the V4 diode before and I had to replace it.

I was using my tractor and it just quitrunning. It will start but as soon as you let off the ignition switch it stalls. As long as you keep the key in the start position it will stay running, until you let it back to the run position, and then it stalls again. Any idea as to what happened would...

I have a john deere 2305 that will fire and run for about 2 sec and quit. I believe it is a fuel problem, but can't pinpoint it. I have changed the filter, pushed the primer lever a 1000 times, disconected the fuel line in front of the injectors to try and bleed them with no luck. Manuel says...

Hi everyone, I am purchasing a new home with 60 acres of land and part of the deal includes a John Deere 2305 tractor with 200CX bucket and a 62 inch mower deck. I estimated the tractor to worth about 10K in the deal but I don't know much about it. Thought this site might be a good place to...
