I have a JD 2305. It runs/ran fine up until this morning after the 1st snow fall and cold temps, (-5C) arrived. The tractor turns over and idles great. I let it warm up at 1/3 throttle for 15 minutes before trying to use it. Hydraulics all nice and warm, same goes for the engine and gear box. Engine also runs perfectly when at full throttle but, when i go to start using the machine by selecting low or high gear and engage it the tractor engine shuts down. I high an audible click from something electronic under the hood after engaging the selector followed by the engine shutting down a second or 2 later. It didn't do this 2 weeks ago before the cold temps arrived and it ran perfectly. I think some type of solenoid must be kicking out and shutting down the engine? Any guesses?
