MTyrrell:
Spent this weekend out bailing and carting hay. Anyway to cut a long story short.....

 We started saturday lunch time, I jump in the tractor and turn the key..... nothing...... first I thought it was the battery so out come the starter/charger still nothing. Anyway after some fiddling I managed to start it, looks like its the sensor on the gear stick to stop you starting it in gear.
 Not a problem I just won’t turn it off all day, which is fine, until i finnish the last field. Without thinking I shut it down #-o . Managed to get it started on the fifth attempt and then promptly stalled it :oops: . Took me three quarters of an hour to get it to start again.

  It's only an 04 plate Massey Ferguson, it's already had a host of sensors replaced, and work done on the breaks.
 Don’t you just love modern technology, I never have this sort of problems with the landy.

I know, problem is john dears are silly money, although the contractors down the road have quite an impressive fleet of them. All leased of course.
 
 Found the faulty sensor this morning, now bypassed  :roll:

Bob696:
short it or open it whichever works.

We had the same problem on a kwak 600. The sidestand had a switch that stopped the starter motor when the stand was down. Damn good idea but it kept getting full of crap. So we cut the damn switch off and shorted the wires.

It's not one of them with 'auto-shatter' doors as well is it? Yet another dumb idea...... :roll:
