How To Diagnose a Tractor or Backhoe That Wont Start 

Thank you so much for the walk through of STARTING issues. On my 1978 Dynahoe 190 myself did Two STARTING systems. The standard then I wired directly to the STATER ( unsafe ) as backhoe can start in gear. But I was having NO start issues. Be it I am the only one ever STARTING my baby Dynahoe, I can live with the always make sure it's in Neutral. Shuttle in center position. The direct to starter gives me START every time. I do have the two start buttons on the dash. I just use the Direct system after I have gone through the shuttle test, and make sure she is OUT of gear. I only recommend this direct starter, for only OWNER who only operates machines and NEVER someone else.

Cool review

Thanks for the video, I have a Kubota with about 5 million safety switches, that won't start. Your instructions are great and it gives me a place to start.

I watched this video today cause my dozer was doing something similar and as soon as you said neutral safety switch I knew what was going on. The lever had been bumped just a little so it looked like it was up but not enough to press it in! Lol thank you for the help good sir! Can't believe I spent that much time on it when that's all it was the whole time. Just goes to show the little things make all the difference!

I watched your video and then returned to the shop where my Case IH 255 with cab and loader waited. Turns out a bush-hogging session had separated two wires from the neutral switch. As soon as I wiggled them back in, it started right up. Thanks for the information.

I have 1995 310 john Deere backhoe . I went from forward to reverse and it wouldn't move. So turned it off to restart it but it won't restart. Battery is fully charged and no broken wires. It will start with a screw driver jumping it right at the starter, but 9t won't move forward or backwards. What could be the problem?

Hi! Farm Dad if it did not start, what will you check next?

Good job dad!

Nice work Dad, the only thing worse than crush crimps are those fold over wire taps... well worth a soldered barrel and some shrink tube ! Best of days to you and crew !

Hi farm Dad, what year is your backhoe? I have a 1976 310.. just bought a 1976 310, Imma use your videos to get to know about it.. thanks for posting!!

nice work come over & fix my tractor lol thanks Dad

I bought a new set of keys and a button to push. Will you show me how to wire? I do not know which wire goes into which behind the turn key. Thanks

Hi I change the start and the solenoid and now it wont do nothing did I maybe connect something wrong?

No idea why people are saying "dad". But dad I have a 710D 1995 that every time I try to turn the switch the stop button flashes. Can't hear it even trying to turn. I will try this tomorrow
