Our John Deere 2240 High serial # died in the field today after raking a smallish field. I was in 6th gear and it just died with no different sounds, or running differently. It wasn't smoking or steaming and didn't smell different. It was leaking by my feet and when I got off the tractor, I saw it on my shoes. It was runny and thinnish although maybe due to heat. Now, the material is sticky and seems oil based. I checked the oil and fuel and all was fine. Coolant cap is hard to remove and it was hot. I let it sit and still, not starting even over night. It seemed maybe battery related or alternator. Not sure though. I think the starter was worked on. Not sure as this tractor has multiple operators and servicers. Any info would be nice as we are needing to finish loading bales onto the truck before any rain.-P. Earl.
