You were right Seat sensor

Thank you Double checked the seat sensor and it was my issue

D2Cat GreensvilleJay Schmitty Wolfman Russell King Dustball ejb11235 DustyRusty I ended this thread with false info. We thought we had a run out of fuel, an Error 20, possible lightning strike taking out the ECU, bad wire loom to the ECU and more. You all advised me how to get the tractor up...

I have a pdf of the WSM in this phone but it has no index or table of contents! I read a post here by others with a similar issue and Wolfman replied it might be the seat or seat tilt safety switches or the HST. The two seat switches have been disabled for years when I installed an...

In the words of Dr. Frankenstein, “ITS ALIVE!!! There were to many commentators here to mention them all. But the Error 20 and depress clutch warning began after running it out of fuel on a very steep hill. This made matters more complex when I found that my battery was bad. I could not...

update: I got some kind of respiratory virus and was laid up 2 weeks. But I needed to let the ground dry up. But it never did. the grass and weeds were now 3’ and filled with water. The tow vehicle just spun out and made water squeeze out of the weeds. I had lifted the bucket up 4” with a...

You have good instincts! it rained here 16” in one night. I went back to check on the tractor and start getting the bucket raised and it all had slid down the slope 50 yards! I left yesterday with the parking brakes set hard, the bucket down and the heavy mower down. Plus put a wheel chock...

I promise I will. Give me a recess of a couple days. I tried to pull it up the hill but the 4x4 truck spun out. It is raining hard tonight so that killed further trials. Tomorrow I have some ideas to try to pull the FEL and 82” mover off the three point hitch without tractor power. Then I...

I think the only comments I got a bit sideway with were warranted and I reacted poorly. They were just comments by men frustrated with my set of facts they had to work with, as they only had my best interests in mind and I was not helping. Most of the comments are by well meaning master...

Dusty Rusty EJB, Dusty, Greenville, Wolfman thanks for these recommendations and prior opinions it is on a very steep hill, like 45 degrees. You can barely walk around it. it acts like a lack of fuel. I tried jumping it at the starter with no fire numerous times and again this morning...

I am considering towing it back to the shop. I have the means here. Thank you for the suggestion. And so you seem to have found the true cause? What is your assessment of the true cause? No fuel? Running out of fuel was the start. Like you I believe “running out of fuel doesn’t cause...

I tried all that a couple times with no start. I will give it another try today as maybe the injectors were not bled out enough to start before. The whole reason it is stuck in a steep hillside is that I ran it out of fuel with a faulty fuel gauge. if it does not start this time, what is next.

All update: i removed a battery cable (-). And unplugged the wire on the positive cable to the main power. Went to town 3 hours. Returned, hooked all back up and still no crank front key and error codes on screen still “error 20, depresse clutch and pto” pull all the jumper wires shorting...

Thank you. Time saver tips!
