Hello. Just got planting today and already starting to tear my hair out.
I have an old L5030 GST (rops) that's a real workhorse around our farm. Today while working it briefly showed "Neutral Shuttle" a few times (while still operating) like it does when you try to start in gear. Then later idling after several hours of work it died and it won't start back up. No turn over or anything, but the panel still worked.
Didn't display PTO shuttle or neutral shuttle or beep like it normally would for safety starting features. Seat switch is bypassed. The mid-PTO indicator is lit up (no other indicators light up except oil pressure and battery obviously), which is strange because the tractor doesn't have one. I crawled under and checked where the mid PTO safety sensor would be and it still looked good and professionally/ factory bypassed.
Swapped out the MAIN fuse (didn't see a OPC fuse on the fuse diagram in WSM) and checked and it WOULD crank if I jumped the starter but not fire/ start. Presumably the fuel pump's not getting power?
Anyway then when I was starting to look more at some of the harnesses and the whole intelliboard and indicators quit out. Probably knocked something loose I hope? Battery's still good though. Blerg.
I see the manual has a step-by-step on checking through fuses and wiring but it's frankly a mess on this old thing. Any tips or places to check before I start the slog? Or at least anyone know how to bypass all the safety sensors so I can rule those out/ get it to potentially start and drive up to the shop so I don't have to do it all in the field. Thanks!
