How old is your ? Sounds like ignition problem,If your engine is older you would have points when the points are bad they can stick together and will result in shutdown after unit cools a little it will restart !

My problem with my John Deere 790 stalling was my safety seat switch. It's a quick fix! What I had to do to fix my 2006 John Deere 790, was: 1. Un-hook the switch wires under the seat that connect to the seat switch. 2. Then, connect all of them with little wire clamps (or you can use a raw wire and connect them all) inside the wire connector, with the 4 connectors in it, to bypass the seat switch. Hot wire all of them together. It somehow resets the switch. 3. Then, with my 790 Deere in neutral, I started it up and held the key in starter position for about 2 seconds. (Instead of letting go right when it fires up) Somehow, in doing this, the seat switch reset and I was able to reconnect the switch and the seat switch works as it should now. My Deere 790 front loader fires right up without stalling now, while in neutral, of course. So, try this first because it's a quick fix. I hope this helps. Cheers, Aaron

a bad safety switch bypass them one at a time to test them

You should NOT weld. braze or otherwise join, or "fix" an hydraulic lines, they, ideally, must be run as a single length again, any Join will simply fracture... Also if they are developing "Pin Holes" this is probably due to the material breaking down, and like a "Cancer" it will simply spread, and fail at a probable inappropriate time, not as though there are any good times? As an aside there are "Joiner" kit available for hydraulic lines, perhaps, cutting and rejoining like this may be acceptable? but still i wouldn't risk it, run new ones.

You should have a round knob on your dash or console you pull it up turn it to the left or turn it to the left and slowly pull it up.

You need to read and rewrite your post because it makes no sense to me.

The PTO usually has a clutch that has to be engaged so that you can select the PTO rotation setting. I had a problem like that on my tractor and all it needed was a little adjustment on the PTO clutch lever, so it could disengage the PTO gearbox properly.

I know exactly the problem. I work for a John Deere dealership and have seen this problem before. It is called short-tripping. When a machine is first started, gas does leak into the cylinder and crankcase past the rings--normal--simulates leaving the choke on too long with a carburetor engine.. As the engine temperature rises, the gas in the oil is burned off and there really isn't a problem. When you take short trips or do not let the engine run to get it up to temperature, the gas in the crankcase does not get burned off and will accumulate over time. Make sure the machine is getting up to operating temperature and this could take up to 20 minutes if the ambient air temp is low. Feel free to e-mail at [email protected] with further questions

RIO/ PTO switches can not be bypassed. These switches are part of the safety circuits. Trying to bypass switches might cause other electrical problems, which that is NOT what you want.

Back up and they should un stick. But are you sure your pos track isn't stuck? it can feel like the brakes are on. Work it a little and spray the arm hinge good. I always kick the pose track on every time I drive it and keep it well oiled

Two things to consider....fire and fuel. Lets start with the simplest....check and replace the fuel filter, drop bowl off the bottom of carb to make sure float is working properly. If this dosen't work...your looking at a new coil. Some coils will go quickly where others are gradual. As they heat up...they will stop working until allowed to cool down again. www.nnyparts.com

You may purchase a technical manual online through the Online Bookstore or by calling Publications at 1-800-522-7448. Publications is open Monday - Friday 7AM to 7PM Central Time. Technical manuals can be purchased in paper copy or on CD. Prices vary according to the complexity of the machine. All machine wiring diagrams are included in either the CD or paper technical manual.

You should consult a John Deere mechanic then but a repair manual for your equipment.

Like other hydraulic systems, there is probably a procedure for bleeding the lines after loss of most of the fluid. You may still have air trapped in the system and once it works its way to the cylinder, the cylinder is working with air instead of fluid and the air compresses instead of doing work.

My older cx won't even turn over.. Totally dead.. lights work so ignition system ok.. battery is new and hot.. fuses all ok.. Stated and ran fine through two pastures.. Turned off to fix fence.. now not a peep.. ????

release pressure on hydraulic lines by pushing in ball at end of line .will have to push in hard or tap. fluid willl squirt out a little
