John Deere 2210 Electircal Problems..Any Ideas???

[pjputney]

My John Deere 2210 just died yesterday ...its never had a problem... but it died and refused to start a couple of times when it was in gear, but started up ok in neutral...then it just died completely and I can get nothing from it. No fuses blown, battery terminals are clean and everything looks right but no electrical to starter when you hit switch. I know there's a couple of safetly switches on it.....does anyone know where they are and how to jump them? Where can I get a service manual for this tractor? Any ideas?? thanks Phil

:welcome:
The tech/service manuals are available through Deere, or oft times on eBay.
They are priceless IMO.

PJPutny,

You can find the operators manual easily by going to JD's web site and look there.

I found this section in the operation part of the manual regarding these safety hat.



Testing the Neutral Start Switch
1. Sit on operator's seat.
2. Disengage PTO.
3. Move the transmission range shift lever to the H (high) or L (low) position.

4. Completely depress the forward or reverse hydrostatic drive pedal.
5. Turn key switch to START position.

Result: Engine must not crank.
Testing the Power-Take-Off (PTO) Switch
1. Sit on operator's seat.
2. Move the transmission range shift lever to the N (neutral) position.
3. Engage PTO.
4. Turn key to the START position.

Result: Engine must not crank.
Testing the Seat Switch
1. Sit on operator's seat.
2. Return hydrostatic travel pedals to neutral position.
3. Lock park brake.
4. Start engine.
5. Move the transmission range shift lever to the H (high) or L (low) position.

6. Raise up slightly from operator's seat. Do not dismount machine.

Result: Engine shut-off solenoid must de-energize in 1/2 second, causing the engine to stop.

You can buy an electronic copy from Deere for typically half the cost. That is where I got mine.

Do a search on my user name for 2305 won't start or something close to that wording and there is a test page ....maybe a diode below dash..

Put some jumper cables on it from your truck. If it starts, buy a battery. Do you still have the original battery in it? If so, your luck just ran out. 3 to 4 years is about the average life for them.

Hi, this happened on a 6420 I was driving, The radio cut out and then about 20 minutes later when I tried to move it would beep at me. Shut the thing off and it wouldn't start even with a new battery.

Found out the alternator went bad. :confused2:
