ms0115 ยท 2025-04-29 18:28

JD 250 C Serial : BE250CT2000069 After starting up and running 5 - 10 minutes it will not go into gear. Has good air pressure. Any ideas on what to check? Thanks

    Are there any codes on the transmission selector when it stops moving? If not, simultaneously press the up and down arrows twice to enter diagnostic mode. Any codes display in the screen? Codes will display one digit at a time.

    Only one code pulled up - 950L. Any idea on how to proceed? Thanks

    That number does not show up. I do not have answers for you at this time. Check your messages for code access and code definitions.

    Check the dump body gear hold circuit especially the bin up switch.

    It ended up being the idle being a little to fast. It was a fresh rebuild and the idle increased a little with the first week of work.
