Surely it is just the battery run out of power after a few days of work without charging?Servicing the jd 6610.
Changed fuel filter.
Left the lift pump running for a while as per usual.
Would not start at all.
If I had airlocked her then she would have run for a short time whilst using up fuel from the lines?
Now battery light has been on last few days (was meaning to get round to it...) but started on the button.
Was it just running the lift pump that pushed her over the edge?
Yeah. Thinking the battery might be goosed in general tbh. She's on mixer wagon duties and ours tends to be hard on batteries.Surely it is just the battery run out of power after a few days of work without charging?
Charged overnight and no go this morning.Yeah. Thinking the battery might be goosed in general tbh. She's on mixer wagon duties and ours tends to be hard on batteries.
Left her on charge over night. Will sest things in the morning.
What's happening is it turning over and not firing or just not turning over?Charged overnight and no go this morning.
New battery and check the altenator it is!
New battery hasn't solved it.What's happening is it turning over and not firing or just not turning over?
Any chance the stop solenoid is goosed, bit of a coincidence if it is the same time as you done filters.New battery hasn't solved it.
Turning over and not firing.
Didn't even try to fire which is making me think that it isn't airlock.
In my bit of experience if a JD gets air in they're absolute sods to get going, most probably what it is. The filter is below the pump isn't it so would drain back once the filter is off?New battery hasn't solved it.

I've mentioned my weird love of rehandling old tools before.
We inherited some tools recently from a relative that passed away. Amongst them was a well worn 7lb sledge. Ideal as my crew are starting to outgrow the 4lb one but are a long way off the 14pounder.
Bit of wire brush to remove the rust and mortar and then some shaping of a broken sledge handle to suit, followed by a posed family photo.
Dan's sledge shall pass on to another generation.
If it’s the one with the slight crank and a tube wrapped over the top of the handle you can buy the replacement handle with the tube on the bottom of it, just hammer the 3prong bit down out of the old handle and tap it back into the new one! Trying to fit a standard handle into them doesn’t work without welding the fork to the tubeYour post a reminds me . Broke the handle on the 3 prong fork the other evening . It was the new type in that it looks like the fork head is just driven in to the handle . Did someone here mention repairing similar ?
