sudden engine stop B2650

If original battery, try boosting it, or remove battery and have it “load tested” at any garage…
However my guess is a battery cable, especially the ground cable. Remove both ends and clean post and frame with sandpaper. When reattaching apply dielectric grease at each end and then fasten securely. Keep us posted…

i came to a dead end as i am not a mechanic...i have a service company coming this week. Fingers crossed. I also don't think it can be towed??? Maybe a short pull on a flatbed if they need to bring it to the shop Thanks for all the suggestions and you are right...i have had very few problems with this machine.

Battery is fine...all lights , heater, ac work fine. I checked the connections, all clean and tight. Im convinced it is electrical and a breaker or fuse.

Report back. Good luck…

 

[gravelman]

Yes, i will, reporting on these things helps us all. As we all know, there will be a "next time" too.

update... my tractor has Operator Presence Control system (OPC) in other words safety shut offs. Anyhow, that 5 amp fuse was blown for that system....and it blew after applying the parking brake. Have not gone looking yet for where a wire is being scuffed or what is causing the fuse to go out but it has something to do with setting the brake and not a general wiring problem. More later
