CANT WIN!!!!

 

Went to start him up today after the winter NO JOY!! I started it during the winter no problem,

I think its not getting gas, took breather off squirted starter fluid in it started right up, but dies after fluid was depleted.

 

Im going have to take fuel filter and fuel line off and check for blockage in the line

The float needle might be stuck also.

Pulled the Deere out today troubleshot fuel system, IT appeared that the fuel wasn't making it from the hose to the fuel filter, I shook it around and fuel went done to the filter, then a little choke and moved the fuel throttle half way and it started good, mowed the whole yard, also the PTO is not slipping now and the mower ran fine I tightened that PTO engagement linkage

 

Is there such thing as "STOP LEAK" for rear transmissions? after mowing whole 1/4 acre lot, I got one big drop from the hub onto the rim, not to bad, but it still leaks a little

 

HAPPY EASTER

Don't add any more oil in there and it will stop leaking one of these days!

[Navy Chief]

Do you think?

[Navy Chief]

Im going to have to tear the hub apart one day per Lyall's instructions and replace that seal

Dont know whats up, Deere is almost impossible to start now, once it runs it runs fine but takes alot of cranking before it fires off. It use to fire up first or second start

[KennyP]

Are you sure the cap vent is working? Also, my neighbor had installed a new fuel filter on his tractor. It would run fine for a minute or two, then start sputtering. Come to find out, I could barely blow through that new filter. Put one on that you could blow through easily and his tractor straightened right up.

I disconnected the hose on the other side of the fuel filter it had a good stream of gas. I will check the cap vent later. I guess I will have to clean the carb again, maybe needle valve sticking after the winter down time.

[KennyP]

I've had needle valves do that on occasion.

Good troubleshooting steps on this forumn I found:  http://www.tractorby...re-110-any.html

Went to mow the yard today, tried to start the Deere the starter went bang like hitting metal, then it would not even spin or hum, I spun the flywheel by hand engine is free, then it cranked but really slow and weak!! I think the starter went out, I have a spare.

 

Going to check battery first but the battery has been retaining its charge forever. I think its the starter the other day it was acting up and kept cranking after I turned  the key off.

 

Can I get a break

I think the only thing on a starter that can create a bang is the starter bendix.

 

slow turning starter can be caused by worn out brushes and/or  bearings.

 

If you take the starter apart I would to see (picture) of the brushes and the armature.

[Navy Chief]

Starter is good!!

 

I charged the battery last night, today I went to start it and it started up first time, really strong . I dont know how the battery got low it always maintains the charge and seems to re charge as I operate it.  The JD Omh meter when you turn the key goes to the second line from the center to the right, when the motor is running the Omh meter stays in the center. My manual doesnt say anything concerning where omh meter should be if its charging when running.
