Keep in mind that I'm GUESSING that is your tractors pto problem.

ernram · Jan 4, 2014

I am guessing too. No worries.

Yup looks like it.

Jim and Ed,

Just giving you guys an update. I went to the back of the tractor where the speed sensor is and..... The 2 pin connector had somehow got disconnected.

Plugged it in and pto runs with no issues.

Thanks for the guidance

That's what I call the K.I.S.S. principle. Keep It Simple Stupid.

It's always easy to fix something when you have a electrical schematic and or the drawings.

Trust me, I am a mechanical engineer and my brother is an aircraft airframes and power plants mechanic. He always has his manuals when working on helicopters and planes. He goes by the "book" because if he misses a step it's millions of dollars and potentially hundreds of lifes on the line.

My wife saw my frustration in not having the diagnosis and repair manuals for my 5085m. She went online and ordered the 2 shop manual CDs from JD.

She's a keeper!!!! I got lucky and found a WSM for my M9540 electronically here on TBN.

Richard,

Your lucky. JD seems to have a tight grip on the manuals, trust me I looked everywhere on line for a copy.

$350 for 2 CDs is steep for sure. I have the shop manuals for all 3 of my Toyota's and over the last decade I have for sure saved thousands doing it myself. Most shop rates are 100+ per hour and things can add up quick.

Glad I figured it out before I leave to Asia tomorrow on business, otherwise it would have driven me crazy for 3 weeks

Honest, I'm not lieing here, I got mine from a guy that posted here from Finland. Evidently he can access those manuals over there. I can't. The Wife is fixing him up a big "Missouri" care package to mail over in gratitude.
