310SG John Deere Backhoe won’t start. What does the S mean ?? 

For a guy that claims not to be a mechanic, I think you are pretty darn smart!!

"Jesus" Why dont you bring a friend that can drive a backhoe? But you are a "Master" with engines. Many likes from Norway ceep up the saving of old tractors and so ones👍

You got her running, I agree with you on the electrical mess because you can't go wrong with mechanical!! Great job, be safe and God Bless you!!

Not a total loss you done what you set out to do get it to run. If you got it to move it would have been icing on the cake. I'm sure it's probably something simple on the park brake like a switch corrosion maybe setting out in the weather. Great job man 👍👍❤

Great job Wiley!!

You know more than u think brother good job!

Thanks for another great video Wiley. Congratulations. You got it running fairly easy. But too bad the parking brake will not unlock. Hopefully the owner will know the trick there. You got it running for him. Yeah. Let’s hope he can move it. Thanks for everything Wiley. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.

🎉 thank you for the video Wiley...🎉....JJ... Jonjon....😊

Another great video and lesson. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along 😊

Way to go Wily!!!!! Proud of you 😂😂

I ran a 410 D clamshell buckets closed in cab. Nice in cold weather 4X4.

When the backhoe saw Wily It wagged Its bucket and tried to start itself.😂😂😂❤.

This is similar to the one Hank and Tommy were trying to get running. It might be the same type problem. Hopefully ya'll can get it out of there soon. Thanks for sharing, Wily!

The model S should be turbocharged where the plain G was usually not. The S usually means it has more heavy duty systems.

Excellent job wily.

HAY WILY, YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID, IF I START, I GET TO KEEP IT... RIGHT??? I'LL BET THAT THING WAS MAKIN' OIL... YOU COULD BE RICH RIGHT NOW. STAY COOL WILY... PEACE...

Yep that electronic stuff is complex...got one of my trucks in the shop now with an issue that they are having hard time to get it to replicate. Hey at least you got it running 😊👍

Thanks for sharing

Glad you could get it running Wily! 😁👍 Enjoyed the video and happy wrenching to ya 🔧🔩

Love you videos my man. I’m a recent right leg amputee and my insurance won’t cover the prosthetic. If you know of any organizations or resources they might help please let me know. I’d appreciate it. And again love all your videos. I won’t watch Hanks videos when your not in them. Thanks

Electronics can be just terrible. Good luck Wili.

That was a wild ride to pull himself backwards with it 🤣😂😅 you crack me up wiley ! Keep up the great videos man

I don't know why but I never tire of hearing (this things making oil) its like Hanks dumb jokes, after a while you find yourself looking forward to hearing the next dumb joke 😂

Another awesome video, Wiley. I appreciate you, buddy 👍

Good Afternoon Sir, I am so glad to see you again today and I hope you are having a fantastic day, Sir !

Wiley, with John Deere, S, & M, means two different things. One of the letters means all made in USA, the other means it has Chinese parts on it. That came from my friend who works at John Deere.

Helpful hint... Spray the juice in as you are cranking it... Will save on the battery....

Wiley next time put the front bucket down and drag it with the hoe, that stabilizes the front because the front axle pivots and you could tip yourself over man. I operated backhoes for years.

I still dream bout the 555 and a 312 Caterpillar excavator. SWEET

G'day from pj in australia, you did get it started and found some possible problems to be fixed, that's a win in my book 👍👍👍👍

Love your videos man ! It makes me laugh to know ove started 310sg 410sg in minus 15° weather to plow snow with not plugged in and they fire right off but there is wiley down south sweating his butt off loading the thing with either when it has alredy been running and he knows its a bad electrical connection 😂😂😂😂 dont feel bad about the hood it was a super common problem with these series john deers where the hood would be up and a guy would be working on it and raise them arms crunchin the fiberglass hood all up

Wily u did an amazing job my friend 👏 😊

Love this channel don’t have to listen to stupid jokes constantly!! He is a no nonsense person!!

Awesome Job wily take care and God bless

Great job Whiley, Very enjoyable

Awesome video, Wiley 👍

great job Wylie great video thanks

Great job Wiley!

Hats off to you Willy, you got the engine running. Pity about the transmission.

darn good shot, maybe biggy would help you out

I knew you could do it

"S" is for stop which might mean the handbrake is locked or engaged. Some models used solenoids to lock/unlock the handbrake. I think it is more of an electrical problem on the handbrake control. Good that you got it started. In most modern cars, the ECU monitors the coolant level sensor or temperature sensor not just to activate the gauges but also for engine safety. it will disable starting or engine running if the coolant is low or the temperature sensor reads high temperature. This is to protect the engine from overheating.

It’s got a parking brake wily 😂

Ain’t no backhoe better than an old Ford 555. I’m a backhoe man. Never ever any trouble. I traded it for a 69 Roadrunner

Great video Wiley you may want to check the power to the brake switch maybe the fuse?

I always thought the "S" was for screwed ....😅

No offense hank but Wiley gets right to it man I sure do like watching this old timer getting er done. Great job Wiley

Great video Wily,,👍👍

Wiley clams he don’t know much. He will figure it out. Reminds me of my uncle Marvin

You do you!! Great job.

Hank most likely won’t come near a 310 again !!!

Hurry up and move it willy

Hey Wily. Didn’t know you had your own channel. Love your content. SUBSCRIBED.

You got it going Wiley so that's good see you on the next video

how are you uncle wiley...im watching you together sir hanks from philippines...

put the bucket down and lift the front up and drag it out off the tirs

It is a type of brand of letter that you need so you know the serial number

Awesome video thanks

Nice video!

Start calling you Triple W….Wire Wiggling Wiley👍

You did get it running

Good job , Wiley !

Keep them coming

Very good program ❤hi from the Dominican republic ❤❤❤

Very good job and God bless e

western truck and tractor repair on RU-vid has a great video on a 310 G parking brake stuck. Check the fuse in the panel over the steering wheel anda relay is also in this area. the parking brake switch needs to be cycled on and offto release the parking brake if the relay is good with a good fuse. Just as a start.

Smooth operator.

that poor rigs has had the snot beatin outta it

Nice effort.

Check the starter

Way to go Wily!

I would rather have older equipment without all that electronic BS .So much simpler to diagnose.

Wiley. You ever thought about teaching classes in heavy machinery care or maintenance? I think you’d be great at it.

Good video! 💯✔️

It is 3:04 pm my time here in AZ !

How bout that I knew you had it in you gd job

Exelente.......

Stronger😂😂😂

Those injection pumps have an internal fuel shut off and when they fail you have to replace the whole injection pump. Good luck. Dealer has to program it

🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐👍👍 Those are half fives.

i put s toggle switch on an old freightliner to the fuel pump cause that went bad in the ecm work from there on no problem

The starter is the problem

Nice job

Super G , front wheel assist

👍👍👍👍👌👌👌😊😊😄😄

Keep in mind that it was a good thing that the alternator was not charging. It it had that ECM would have been hit with 35 volts when the battery cable fell off. Not a good thing to happen.

Looks like an electrical issue possibly a safety switch

My backhoe is a 310e 1999

Before they introduced electronic rubbish a simple no start issue was easily fixed. You sometimes wonder they made it to sell more replacement starters and batteries.

I thought u would of learnt ur lesson with hanks backhoe 😂

The difference between the 310SG and the 310G is hydraulic pressure. The SG model works with 3600 lbs psi and the G model works with 2900 lbs psi. I really can't take the knowledge credit for this one because I looked it up. But that's the difference.

Wily What is the YES on your ball cap signify?

G'day Wily, my old ford back hoe has two battery cables and a hot wire for the solenoid a reco motor and injector pump not much to go wrong. Why do they put the ECU down there behind the front wheel so all the moisture gets into that critical main plug ? makes no sense 👍.

Omg Wiley, I told you was the Man👍👍👍

Some of these electronic have fuse the control the power so it doesn't smoke the ecm system

Wily good thing it's making oil

Main difference is the hydraulic pump. SG more hydraulics. Looks like SG by pressure is around 3,600 psi and a G is 2,900 psi. The SG should have bigger pins on the backhoe

Wiley is that machine sililar to the one hank was having trouble with. If it is i would review those videos and come up with a few possibilities.

✌️

i will never understand why John Deere has the exhaust stack bent towards the cab on purpose it doesn't make sense
