I have an issue right now. I have a 2005 JD 2210. Plowed some snow a few weeks ago then boom, the tractor died on me after using it for two hours, full tank. Went to turn the key and it only clicked and never turned over.
Had to boost. Started it up and ran fine. A couple weeks later, it stalled again after a couple hours using it. Tractor was on the edge of the road so we towed it out asap. I changed the fuel filter figuring it had gelled or froze.
There was ice build up in the water bowl and the filter had ice thru it. Put a new one in with the hole of the filter up and pushed into the tube. It didn't start right away, battery had been fully charged.
Was only able to start it the next day. Still took awhile, would turn over, but not stay running. Then it finally started with full throttle. Let it run 5-10 mins, then started plowing. Worked with it 5 mins plowing then it shut down again. Got it started and put it in the garage and will find out whats wrong. I'm not a mechanic whatsoever. My assumptions, 1) Failing batter? 2) Failing alternator 3) clogged fuel line 4) failing fuel pump. Fuel pump is original.
Battery is number two bought 4-5 yrs ago. Any suggestions or testing I can do is appreciated. I do have the owners manual on CD too. Last week, I let it run for almost an hour, without using or working with it, then it just shut down. It worked good when I was using it, motor sounded good and not hesitating. But then boom, total shut down. Scary when your kinda in the road a bit and the end of your driveway.
Outside temps have been -10 to -15. Thank you in advance.
UPDATE: Tractor has been in garage all night and it started fine, played with throttle and no lag or hesitation. Will take it out to plow later and see how it works under load and see if it shuts down after use.
