I am a new member. My name is Bill and I have a 2004 John Deere 4410 tractor. I just moved to and live in southeast Michigan just north of Detroit. I have 8 acres and plan to use my tractor for various tasks. I have a problem with my tractor. I have an e-hydro that is not working. I can neither go forward or reverse. I tried to restart to reset but no luck. I checked the connections underneath and everything looks good. The PTO engages. I get a fault code of 1 long and 3 short. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

If you post your question as a new thread in the JD forum, help will be forthcoming as people will see it (as opposed to this 'introduction thread').

Enjoy the site.

Hi Bill. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome, and first I'd suggest is to have a visit with your local Deere dealer. Ask around 'town' to see if there is one or two that are favorites. With spring planting, this is a busy time for them but would think they'd also want your business.

But also suggest you get the service tech manual. In addition to the operator's manual if that didn't come with your tractor.

And third, stick with the TBN, as you will find very willing and helpful members here.

Thanks for the welcome. I found the fault code chart and it says one long and 3 short means "no drive in either direction". The RESET ACTION says " Error status will reset when both pedal commands return to zero". How do I get the pedal commands to return to zero?

Look for one or the other pedal to "stick" and not return.. some light oil or penetrating oil may loosen it up.

Hope that solves what is wrong.

Welcome to the forum.

It could be a sticking pedal as mentioned above but there is also a calibration that can be done. It is detailed in the service manual and several threads here on it as well. Check the sticking pedals first. Also make sure there is no dirt up in the potentiometer cover on the pedals. I think there is a plastic cover you can remove and clean it out and check the connections.

The OP has not checked back, or maybe doesn't know where to find his thread after it was moved.
So we don't know if any of the suggestions have worked, or if his tractor is still sitting.

He is here in MI so I can always take it off his hands for cheap.

The OP posted a comment 6 hours after the thread was moved so he figured that out. He only has 3 posts total so I reckon he moved on.

Like so many other threads he probably figured out the problem and just didn't follow up for the benefit of others. It's a good idea to always follow up with the corrective measures so others searching for the same issue may benefit from your lesson.
