JD 2350 hydralic pump

I have a 2350 tractor will not turn over fast enough to start until the stroke valve is screwed in to throw the pump out of gear, then starts instantly. What do I look for to solve the starting issue. Thank you

I helped a fellow with a 2955 that had a similar problem, we installed an electric destroke kit that forced the pump to destroke while cranking. This was after we?d made sure there was no significant leakage anywhere in the system. The destroke kit worked perfectly. Sam

Ditto on electric hyd pump destroker. There has been a couple of forum members who have posted about a electric DS for much less than JD's $843.25

You can put in the electric destocking kit. It will help with the starts. You more than likely have several issues going on.

1) Bad battery connections. The original setup that had the short cables that grounded to the dash/firewall was junk from the beginning. Replace them with two regular ground cables and run them down to the starter mounting bolts so you grounded to the motor block. Then If yours still has the original Positive cable that had one cable from the starter to the right battery. Then a short cable that jumped over to the left battery that was attached under the battery clamp bolt that is junk too. The left battery rarely helps provide much CCA. There is a newer style cable that has both ends made on one heavy cable.

2) You more than likely have an internal hydraulic leak that is making the pump stoke to full flow at crank speeds. Common as these tractors get older. Start the tractor and let it run. Check all the hydraulic systems and see if one heats up just setting there. Touch housings and lines to see in one is warmer than the rest.

3) How good is your starter???? A dragging starter will cause the same thing.
