The ABANDONED Digger John Deere 310 REFUSES TO GO FORWARD!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

▶️Watch us dig with the 310 here: czcams.com/video/BC0cNsc75FE/video.html

[@markwilson9760]

Fix the fuel pump. Stop using starting fluid

[@super6954]

Exactly what I was thinking about it not starting right . The transmission not working will be the least of their problems when the motors screwed and won't run, because the ether messed up some internal components. That is what happens when people miss label machines as getting addicted to ether.

[@vernchaput6368]

You shouldn't need to keep squirting ether in to run,you have bigger issues.

[@Eeropolvasti]

Couple things: Dont start with Starting Fluid many times, engines dont like it, fix priming issue!!! Other thing: Fix Switch first, then swapping a solenoid make sure, which one is broken!!! You can get those solenoids from Ebay!! Good Luck!=) Greetings from Lantana, Florida !

[@MrRb20de]

why not try swapping the reverse solinoid with the broken 1

[@shawnjosey8203]

We know for a fact it’s bad. We will be replacing it.

[@gjamann]

The thing is though this stuff is usually abandoned for a reason and you have to chase down really weird problems related to them. It also sat in a field for a long time so it could have water damage, mouse damage and maybe even ice damage or a broken transmission.

[@gjamann]

If your just gonna sell it parting the machine out is probably going to be easier then fixing it.

[@gjamann]

The other problem is if your finding a lot of shorted out/bad parts it is because something is causing them electrically to go bad through either excessive heat, current draw or hydraulic load. If the machine is stuck with a functioning always actuating it could cause all of those problems including the hard engine start because of a rusty valve or joystick.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

The machine sat in the woods for about 6 years with the fuse panel uncovered. I’m sure there are many shorted out wires. Best case scenario I’d put a new wiring harnesses on the whole tractor.

[@ralfie8801]

Find the air leak in the fuel system. You've got a loose fitting or a cracked metal or rubber line in the suction side somewhere.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

This was such an awesome time man, can’t wait to see you get this monster running! Thanks for having us over brother!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Our pleasure. Always a blast

[@nicholasbeechler5071]

this is Nick from being the equipment sales in Perry Georgia I had a 310g did the same thing there's a valve underneath where you guys are adding power if you pull a cover off you'll see where the solenoids go in pull the solenoids off the valves are sticking unstick the valves it'll go forward and backwards without jumping The wire

[@marcusgouge4462]

Check the vent on top of the transmission. You can see it from the left side of the engine compartment looking back towards the transmission (looking over top of the starter). Make sure that is clear.
The 3 solenoids on the top left of the transmission are for the MFWD (if used), Diff lock and the Park Brake. The transmission control solenoids are under the top cover of the transmission control valve which is mounted on the top backside of the transmission. Seldom do those solenoids go bad (not to say they don't go bad sometimes). Most likely you have an FNR shifter problem. That was a common problem with those machines. You want to have it tested to be sure, they are expensive. If the shifter is OK then you may need to get your dealer to check amps at the fuse box for the transmission circuit to verify it is doing what it needs to be doing electrically. You would also have to have pressures checked to check mechanical function.

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

Can't believe that thing is loosing prime that quick, should have taken out one of the other solenoids and put in the forward position to try to test it.

[@ryanmall]

Y'all should swap the solenoids inside to see if it will go forward and not in reverse

[@Anonymousxxiiii]

Hi Hank. Love all your videos. I especially love seeing the ol' John Deere making a feature again. I hope it gets running as I've watched the whole series. 😉👌

[@Lee-At-Green-Pheonix-Rc]

Hank Matt front diesel creek has dropped the gauntlet on the excavator egg 🥚 challenge he spectacular completed it 😁

[@BrodieBr0]

haha That ol Deere is more like a stubborn mule 😂 Just want to say I apprecaite your content! You're positive, friendly, and laid back attitude is so refreshing Hank! I get a smile as soon as I see you've uploaded. God bless and stay safe!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I appreciate that!

[@WatchWesWork]

Boy she's stubborn. Time to peel off a few more $1000 bills for some new Deere parts!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

That's what BOAT stands for. Break Out Another Thousand!

[@chrisnorden8043]

Or call Mustie1

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

If I could Wes or must’ve down here that would be awesome

[@rg1599]

Your channel is in my top 5. I always love to see a new video from Hamiltonville Farm.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@davida.p.9911]

There is a John Deere dealer named Stribling Equipment. They might have the parts. I know they sell the big stuff....skidders, dozers, graders, etc... If all else fails, just take the operators seat and put it on backwards 😆

[@charlesmccormick4443]

Should be a check valve in the manual fuel pump up valve or close by the pump up valve , its not working , allowing the fuel to drain back to the fuel tank . You can also buy inline check valves to splice into the fuel line making sure the check valve is turned in the right direction . Could also be a fuel leak some where , seems like you would have noticed a leak though .

[@jamisonrogers3222]

Try wengers equipment in myerstown pa . They are a equipment junkyard

[@nikxohs3925]

before you call someone to help you with a problem , be sure you are ready. no battery, no start, no air ???it shows no respect to people you call for help and to the people that wait to see fixing what you said in title of video. service man is lucky that you have the tractor there

[@wolfslair9000]

LOVE THE NRA SHIRT GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 and Hamilton farm team. Keep up the great work Hank. God bless brother.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Amen my friend!!

[@donparker8246]

I'd say also check the forward/reverse switch on the lever. Unless you've already done that.

[@PAUL-1961.]

First of all i would solve the wiring issue so you don't have to hotwire it,to make the switch work the way its suppost to and the switch the solinoids around,see if that solves anything

[@chrisnorden8043]

Need to get ya a set of quick connect jumper cables for the Dodge.

[@michelgrenier1878]

Sometimes the forward clutches get overheated and warped , That locks the transmission in reverse .

[@ryanmall]

Man I hope you get that thing running and driving that would be awesome

[@jonathansimpson1106]

My John Deere 7220 just started losing power then stopped moving forward.
The engine revs up fine, the hydraulics work, fluids are all full but the tractor just wouldn't move forward or reverse anymore.
The tractor always had problems going into drive, i have had to put it in drive 2-3 times before it lets me go forward.
Idk what happened to it today...engine sounded like it was getting weak while driving/cutting, it stopped, then it had to get towed away.

[@robertbullcarmichael9856]

You need to get ahold of Warren on Wester Truck and Tractor. He will have that beast working in a jiffy.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Yeah he’s good

[@davidvarela2638]

Hank, I know what it is. It's the school valves at on top of the transmission and are seized up.

[@donemery2593]

That 310 gave you all kinds of problems hope you got it lined out man have a great day

[@outwestcountryliving9735]

When my 310D lost toward, thereafter went out smell the transmission fluid to see if is burnt. Got ones with torqueconvrter For half what John Deere wanted.

[@mischef18]

Well at least it has not tried to kill or maim you like Matt's grader. Great video bro. Safe travels

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

lol. true

[@alexcruzellor9247]

r u going to do an update on the abandoned excavator. also I love how you get all these old machines running. it is super awesome.

[@nickmurphy3935]

Does this machine share hydraulic fluid with transmission ? Therefore requiring the fluid made for transmissions and hydraulics?

[@craigbowley6783]

Try Amazon or E-bay for that part

[@johnhicks9529]

There's filters that get clogged up from dibre.& metal shavings stuck in the filters.,or filter that blocks it from comtamanting the fluids.& lines. There's also safety switches.& electric silanode pumps that go out.&get stuck from fibre stuck in the pump line ends.& pump head inlet& exit return line out.

[@Trupicstv]

Ok. Thanks much. I will try that

[@terrymangum7635]

Enjoyed the video Hank with Biggun and Eric. Hope you can get the part you need to get it moving forward. Eric looks like he has been in Florida for some time from his tan. I doubt he got it in Michigan. Lol.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Definitely got fried in Florida lol

[@extremegaming2280]

Hank, too bad the 310 won’t go forwards yet. Hopefully soon. Once the backhoe is running it sounds good! I hope you’re able to find a new forwards solenoid to fix the issue. Then it will be operational right? Thanks! I like watching the 310 series.

[@extremegaming2280]

Woah, why’s the 310 acting up again with the starting procedure? I thought it was turn key and start without the starting fluid. What do you think is causing it to crank so much before starting? Thanks!

[@Trupicstv]

Just checking something here. If the forward , neutral and reverse gears are working BUT it does not seem to be going into 1 and 2nd gear. How do you fix that? If it appears to be an electrical problem?

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

look for a short in the wire somewhere. not grounding or blown fuse.

[@dopeynightlifetv6859]

The old girl is Alive!!!!!! 💪

[@mr3000gtman]

I could be wrong but ain't starting fluid extremely bad for the engine?

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Eh, they make diesel
Starting fluid

[@tommyhall8301]

Hi you doing buddy good to see you again buddy good luck

[@LifeOnTheRidge]

Love that bumper on the goat!

[@robertforget6369]

hi hank i have old volkswagan van stuff not working is normal to me! you've been called out by matt from diesel creek im wait see how you do! God bless

[@extremegaming2280]

Hank, any update on the 310 since this video? Also, I noticed 2 things in the video with the machine. 1. The exhaust stack isn’t attached fully. 2. The coolant reservoir seems to be empty under the hood. Thanks! The machine sounds good though.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Gonna work on it Monday

[@extremegaming2280]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm Hope you’re able to make progress on it. Wonder if the tires need air again?

[@martineastburn3679]

Is that a broken wire on the Cannon plug ? blue flying in the air!

[@extremegaming2280]

Please consider putting that 310 front loader support bracket piece that’s on the grass by where it was parked somewhere so you don’t lose it.

[@efrainestaba7491]

Thanks a los Bro. Great information 👍 👌 👏

[@joe1428]

hank you need to come up to michigan to do a will it start the weather is nice for the week

[@gjamann]

I would get the John Deere service manual it will tell you the diagnostics of how to test the wiring and transmission for it.

[@gjamann]

It also sounds like you have a bad fuel pump which is why you need ether start to build up the suction on the line.

[@timhill3740]

It’s losing prime. Put a check valve on the fuel line.

[@robertfeagans9298]

That thing is haunted Hank and needs a new home 😂😂

[@maurobreda1851]

hey guys before to buy a new solenoid you can switch the bacward solenoid with a forward broken solenoid end you can try if is true broken!!! mauro from Italy!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

👍

[@paulootilia7371]

I thought my grandmother was stubborn. but the machine is more hehehehe

[@mikesnyder2335]

Can anyone advise on a 310c losing all hydraulic after 5 minutes ? Including transmision ?

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

check your filters lately?

[@edneialmeida7612]

Boa noite muito top serviço máquina meu amigo

[@HomesteadJay]

The ever cursed 310.... Sell it LOL look who showed up lol hey Erik hahaha

Just found the part you need on eBay for 88bucks. Good luck. Love your videos

[@extremegaming2280]

Hi Hank, do you think you’re going to replace those 2 tires that are leaking air? Do you happen to know what tire pressure that machine runs? Thanks!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

They’ve been holding good so far

[@anthonyking4387]

[@earlborchardt4358]

Don,t knowaboutcha Hank. A claw hammer used to install battery cables maybe you should hit them harder perhaps drive the the post down into the battery case. Maybe some day you and your experts will learn that diesel engines require freash hot batterys.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Never claimed to be an expert.

[@lewisgardner1660]

Are you going to do the eggscavator challenge diesel creek sent your way?

[@chrishunter5041]

You got to get it fixed so you can take part in the egg challenge 👍

[@ralphriddle8864]

Good job and God bless yall

[@livingmaga6299]

Lol fuel leak, it's probably the mechanical fuel primer pump, or she's starter fluid baby now which means rings.

[@markamcampbell6340]

how did you sevive the hurricane?

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

We did fine thank you for asking

[@tommymann69]

WELCOME TO BALDWIN COUNTY ALABAMA

[@robertblackwelder8201]

Never give. up!!

[@jsimm4587]

Been waiting for this one I hope it goes !!

[@jsimm4587]

Maybe the neutral needs activated after the reverse is deactivated for the forward to activate . Remember way back when you had a shifter on the floor and sometimes the linkage would get caught and not allow it to shift ? Like one rod was still engaged while trying to engage the other ? Sorta kinda maybe heck I have no clue can’t help but suggest something these shows are great entertainment !!

[@jsimm4587]

That sounded stupid but really it happens on a manual shift not a truck but small cars with a manual transmission it does . On the H one side works a rod for rev and first then when the shifter crosses the middle of the H it drops one side to go to the other side of the H for 2nd and 3rd . They get worn and it will leave one still in gear and gets stuck in between.. those solenoids gotta do the same . A lot of remarks for just go buy new like you got it to just throw around you’ve put a lot of cash in that 310 ! I don’t care for the “you got the cash people” they never had to fix something that you had to fix cause you couldn’t buy or was no where near help . When you gotta get it fixed ! If it’s with a rock a crescent wrench a dime for a screwdriver or a knife for a Phillips . Been there and I’m lucky to have been able ! Keep up the good work . That things gonna go Joesy need to get the meter back out and see if the solenoids are getting power at the right time . It didn’t go that time so it’s $ menu at Mack daddy’s till it’s fixed for him !

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

hope so, but not soon. hes in Tn. a long way a way

[@johnhicks9529]

Have y'all check econ valve.,ecm control switch that controls the injectors.& the safety switches to the forward& reverse switches to. It's A safety 🔐 lockout unit that is stopping it from moving forwards.& keeps shutting it down due to that. Even after you were to fix the wiring back to the plugs it'll keep doing it. Until you change out that control switch that has wen't bad. Test them for power when ignition on.& off to for power with A 12 to 36 volt light tester. It'll tell ya what's bad.,or good for sure guys. God bless y'all to. Aswell as 🇺🇸 AMERICA.& Along with AMERICANS to. Stay safe.& all the above out there.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks buddy

[@lewiemcneely9143]

This is why I just ran those things and you're sucking air in the fuel system. GBWYall!
