I have a 305CR that stalled under load and now won't restart. I was digging with it and it almost stalled a few times while under a high load, then it finally stalled while under high load digging. I tried to restart and it would turn over a few times, then act like the battery was weak. There was a small amount of grey smoke coming from the rear of the engine, between the engine and the hydraulic pump after it stalled. I checked several areas on the engine and pump with an infrared thermometer and nothing seemed to be overheated. I'm suspecting it has to do with the hydraulic pump, as prior to it stalling, there had been an intermittant whining noise at high RPM, but I could not locate the source of it.
Any help is appreciated. I'm digging into the service manual now...
