Common John Deere Problems :

Electrical system maintenance: Like in all vehicles, a battery supplies the power to the tractor’s engine. When the tractor is having electrical problems, you should start by checking out the battery. Examine the posts and cables to ensure they’re free of debris and deposits. If the battery doesn’t appear to be working properly, you’ll want to call in the experts.

Fuel system issues: Have you noticed that the tractor isn’t performing as well as it used to? The root source of this may be a fuel system that isn’t up to snuff. Problems with the parts that transfer fuel to the engine lead to poor fuel pressure and bad performance. When you bring in your tractor for repairs, a qualified mechanic will be able to test the system and restore it to its optimal operation. This may require cleaning out the system or replacing faulty parts.

Carburetor problems: The carburetor is responsible for mixing fuel and together to create the exact right mixture for engine operation. Over time, these parts may become clogged or break down. Severe corrosion, for example, may require cleaning or rebuilding the carburetor.

Spark plugs: Problems like hard starts, suboptimal engine performance and excessive fuel consumption may all be related to old or faulty spark plugs. Spark plug replacement should be done periodically to ensure that your tractor is running right.

Blade sharpening: Though most repairs are related to the engine, having blades that are sharp and ready to use is important, too. If you own a small garden tractor that has a single blade, you can remove it and sharpen the blade using a file. You’ll want to bring a larger tractor with several blades to the professionals for servicing.
