JD 4300 Will Not Turnover

gonediesel · Apr 6, 2016

OK guys, thanks for the help. It actually ended up being the switch. I may not have been testing the switch correctly. After chasing down a suspected wire and finding it to be ok, I gave in and bought a new switch as I was a little unsure of my multimeter and my skills using it. Anyway I plugged the new switch in and she fired up! I started to play around with the safety switches thinking one of them may be open when ready to operate but it appears they all have to be closed to start. I have all three jumped and will leave them I believe. Not sure how I feel about it yet.

I leave the seat jumped.. no way I could run the FEL with forks without being able to stand up to see the fork tips.
As well, not about to have to place in neutral range or put on park brake every time I need to get off to do something, or to figure out the pattern of on/off's and engaged/disengaged to be able to run the PTO when not in the seat.
