I have yet another issue with my Gleaner K combine, i can't wait for this thing to leave the farm for good!!!! Got in it the other day and was going to pick a acre or two of corn well....when i turned the key switch on nothing lit up, i had another switch so i put it in, still nothing. I ran a wire from the positive battery terminal to the battery post on the new switch and everything lit up, gauges mostly. I tried to start the machine with the new switch installed and it would not do anything, so i went to the back and tried to start it on the starter solenoid, it would turn over fine but would not run, just grind and grind. It is getting fuel ok, i didn't have time to check the plugs due to darkness, I looked at the wires going to the starter solenoid and did not see any that were broke or not attached. This combine started and ran good 2 months ago and now this. I've had this thing since 2014 and every year has been some issue with it, by the way it is the 250 GM gas engine....i think that is the problem in itself!!!
Should i run a new ignition wire to the key switch?? I am not a good gas mechanic, diesels i can work on very well. I just want to pick a small amount of corn with it and after that it can die or hibernate lol If anyone knows of a John Deere 4400 for sale please let me know.
