1010 John Deere tractor shuts down after temp gauge goes half way to hot

SOURCE: JOHN DEERE TRACTOR - MODEL A - SERIAL 642202 CLUTCH REPAIR

Try the John Deere web site, I think they will be able to help. donnyb60

SOURCE: system creeps down even when tractor is operating.

There are 2 potential problems -
1. Leaking spool on the control valve - rebuild the vale.

2. Cylinder blow-by. Disassemble piston and replace the seals.

To test if its the cylinder - retract the cylinders all the way... remove the hoses on the blind end (non rod end) of each cylinder, and again pull the valve to the retract position.

If fluid continues to pour out of the cylinder - the piston seal is damaged, and the affected cylinder must be repaired.

To test if the valve spool is faulty - disconnect the a and b ports just after the valve. Turn on the system and check for seepage from the disconnected lines (without moving the lever).

You need to take the temp gauge side of the dash off and check the circut bourd[physically inspect it]to see if the board is badf.If it's not then you probably need the guage replaced.{can't beleive they said live with it}If you don't get sattisfaction contact me again and i can fix this.

SOURCE: have a john deere lawn tractor. Blade will not

Check both belts on deck. Check if the clutch is clicking in. If not it will most likely need a new pto switch.
