JD 2210
Morning Gentlemen and Ladies.

Since 2004 I have a JD 2201 SCUT which I absolutely love and it has done everything I've wanted to do and even more.

However the other day I had the tractor up on a steep hill, parking brake on, in neutral, and idling.. everything was and has been fine..

I got onto the tractor, put the transmission in lo gear, leaned for ward a bit and took off the brake.. Tractor started moving down the hill as expected and then stopped, I think I lifted up my butt too high off the seat and the safety cut-off switch turned the tractor off.

When I tried to restart the tractor I got nothing.. I checked all the gears and levers, pto, etc etc.. made sure the brake was on, the transmission in neutral.. nothing.. however i did note that the metal seat frame was broken so I replaced that AND the seat switch.. tried starting and I just get a clicking from the starter? solenoid? Dont know.

When I turn the key into the ON position I get the right lights coming on.. but when I try to turn it over I just get the clicking...

battery went bad? loose battery cable? solenoid? starter? Any ideas gentlemen?

Like I said the machines been running fine, turns over first time every time, never had any other electrical issues.

Looking for some ideas..

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Your symptoms sound like a very weak battery, dirty contacts at the battery, loose battery cable clamp, or a bad ground. I'd clean and tighten connections first then throw the battery on a charger. If the connections are dirty the battery may not have been getting enough current to maintain a charge and run down over time. You could also have a problem in your charging system but start with the simple stuff.
