jd 830 starting problems

Anonymous-0 · May 19, 2014

I purchased a jd 830 el start. When I tried to start it there was only a click when I pushed on starter button. I put in two new 12v batteries and thought this would solve the problem. When I pushed on button still only a click. Could the started be locked, batteries hooked up wrong, starter not engaging? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Your tractor originally had 4 six-Volt batteries and a VERY unusual electrical system (at least to most of the world who are not familiar with it).

Add the fact over 50 years have passed and it has been "modded" to two 12 Volt batteries to all the other quirks of the system, and you have a REAL problem on your hands.

If you have a basic understanding of DC electrical systems and a factory shop manual at hand, this will NOT be a big problem.

I (as well as many others familiar with this obscure system) could probably figure it out in about 30 seconds if we we there, but diagnosis over the 'net is a BIT more difficult!

The G that we had developed a "sand hole" in the block that filled a cylinder with coolant so the engine could not turn over. Check to make sure that the engine isn't locked up.

If you post this question on the Deere site here on YT there are guys there who can give you some help. My advice is it dig into it and check and clean every connection between the batteries and the starter, if you haven't already done this. In the process you will find out how the starting system is put together for your future reference, and I can almost guarantee you will find some connections that need to be cleaned up. I am suspecting your problem in starter related. Let us know what you find for our own education. Jim
