Is leaking from pto shaft? If so replace seal.

Generally this is a sure indicator that you have gotten air into your brake lines. The way this most often happens is if you are leaking some fluid somewhere and then the reservoir on the master cylinder got too low and you pumped the air into the lines. Another way it can happen is if you have a leak and the air gets sucked into the line via that. USUALLY if this happens, it's just before a complete brake failure though. The first thing is to check the level in your master cylinder. If that is good, the next thing is to bleed the brakes at each wheel. After that if you have no air bubbles coming out of the brakes at any of the wheels and you have a good supply of fluid then chances are your master cylinder or an power assist has gone bad.

You must remove the transmission from under the tractor. There are no dipsticks or other ways to check the oil on your hydro trans.

are the grounds and cables good.no burnt wires

Take line off fuel filter and see if you fuel. Check the outlet in the tank and fuel cap vent.

I think you are drunk ! Drink some decaf tea or some Decaf Coffee and try again.

If you have power to the fuse box, measure with a multimeter to see how much you have from the battery, then to the fuse box... Then see how much leaving the fuse box, if there isn't any power leaving the fuse box,,, you have a faulty fuse box or a possible bad connection (ground) if you have power check the relays, often you relays go bad, you'll hear them flicker but the don't actual make the connection to give voltage to the lights... Also you can test the voltage at the light bulb socket with the power on and switch on with a multimeter..

Wipe down and clean the filter, filter housing and hydralic lines, run your jd until you see hydraulic fluid, stop the machine and look to see where it originated from... If it's from the filter, change the filter, make sure the old oil rings are no stuck on the housing, and there's a o ring that comes on the new filter, pre lube the filter o-ring and install,,, if it the hydralic housing or pump, check for hair line cracks, check the threads on the filter head on the housing for cross threading, and last but not least and the greatest possibility... The hydraulic line connections to the filter housings and pump... The will most likely be the issue... Spray brake cleaner all over the connections to clean them run the machine and look to see which one is leaking... When replacing the hose connections, replace with a quick connect hose end to save on value time and efforts in the future.

if no problems prior to run out keep priming and bleeding lines or test pump pressure

My older cx won't even turn over.. Totally dead.. lights work so ignition system ok.. battery is new and hot.. fuses all ok.. Stated and ran fine through two pastures.. Turned off to fix fence.. now not a peep.. ????

It could be corroded... water, dirt, etc, could have finally taken a toll on it.... Try spraying some electrical friendly lube on the shaft on the switch and try open and close it without the machine running... If not. You'll have to replace the switch.

drive belt broke if transaxle is not turning does clutch pedal feel loose ?

Could be a few things, but sounds like your low on hydraulic fluid... check to see that you have enough hydraulic fluid in the system... Top up with fluid, if not full! Could also be an air pocket in one of the lines... So try and bleed out system...

Drain fuel completely from tank, fuel line, and carburetor... Change fuel filter, change spark plug(s) add FRESH gas... Not 1 week, month or year old gas... (Can't be contaminated, or mixed with old fuel) there will be a drain screw on the carburetor (at the side of the bowl) You may need some quick start to get the engine to initially start up and keep it running with the spray until the fuel system fills up with fresh fuel and stays started.

Check all fluid levels, engine, transmission, differentials, etc, also do a complete look over the machine to see it something is not jammed up! Have someone drive it forward or backwards, while your standing beside it and narrow down where the noise is coming from. And go from there.

Pull glow plugs, then try. If had small water leak. Got water on top pision.

Not that simple but thoroughly do-able.Email me.< [email protected] >

There is usually a diagram on left side of the deck, that show the direction the belt should go, note start the belt over the engine pulley and work your way from there, the spindle pulleys take the v-groove part of the belt and the idler pulleys take the flat/wider part of the belt
