    In the words of Dr. Frankenstein, “ITS ALIVE!!! There were to many commentators here to mention them all. But the Error 20 and depress clutch warning began after running it out of fuel on a very steep hill. This made matters more complex when I found that my battery was bad. I could not...

    update: I got some kind of respiratory virus and was laid up 2 weeks. But I needed to let the ground dry up. But it never did. the grass and weeds were now 3’ and filled with water. The tow vehicle just spun out and made water squeeze out of the weeds. I had lifted the bucket up 4” with a...

    You have good instincts! it rained here 16” in one night. I went back to check on the tractor and start getting the bucket raised and it all had slid down the slope 50 yards! I left yesterday with the parking brakes set hard, the bucket down and the heavy mower down. Plus put a wheel chock...

    I promise I will. Give me a recess of a couple days. I tried to pull it up the hill but the 4x4 truck spun out. It is raining hard tonight so that killed further trials. Tomorrow I have some ideas to try to pull the FEL and 82” mover off the three point hitch without tractor power. Then I...

    I think the only comments I got a bit sideway with were warranted and I reacted poorly. They were just comments by men frustrated with my set of facts they had to work with, as they only had my best interests in mind and I was not helping. Most of the comments are by well meaning master...

    Dusty Rusty EJB, Dusty, Greenville, Wolfman thanks for these recommendations and prior opinions it is on a very steep hill, like 45 degrees. You can barely walk around it. it acts like a lack of fuel. I tried jumping it at the starter with no fire numerous times and again this morning...

    I am considering towing it back to the shop. I have the means here. Thank you for the suggestion. And so you seem to have found the true cause? What is your assessment of the true cause? No fuel? Running out of fuel was the start. Like you I believe “running out of fuel doesn’t cause...

    I tried all that a couple times with no start. I will give it another try today as maybe the injectors were not bled out enough to start before. The whole reason it is stuck in a steep hillside is that I ran it out of fuel with a faulty fuel gauge. if it does not start this time, what is next.

    T Thank you the narrative of what switches are open or closed is most helpful. I had the seat off, a very heavy aftermarket chair. Just put it back on! Arrrgh! I will pull the seat off and take off the pan to access the ECU to jump and trouble shoot. still working on it! thank you

    Still trying to trouble shooti no start no crank problem

    the story: a couple weeks ago I was using the RDTH 84 finish mower to clip the pasture. When I got down the steep slope it ran out of diesel. My fuel gauge is faulty. I put in 5 gallons and it cranked a bit to bleed the injectors, normally a very simple procedure as I do it often. Then it...
