What sort of tractors and machinery do you work on? (Maybe it isn't possible to answer that question too succinctly). Is it an arable or livestock area? Steve. Hi Chris,

1. is your tractor going into neutral ok – can you select all the gears? if not you may have a selector issue

2. with the tractor in neutral and the brake off, roll the machine back and fourth – if it wont roll there is an issue with one of the torque converters (big lumps just inside the back hubs)

Best of luck

Re the video of starting FE35, never, never, never start a tractor without sitting in the driver seat, too many people have been killed or seroiusly injured by using Richards method, not to mention damage to the starter/ solenoid, and here in Australia all those flying sparks would start a bushfire in no time.
