Borrowed a friends John Deere 690ELC for some farm work. Started it up for the first time when it was around 28 degrees. Slow to start but started and I let it idle for about 10 minutes. Drove it to a dead tree I wanted to push over. Everything was running fine. I had put it in E mode for this job. After dropping the tree, I noticed the engine idled down but then back up by its self. It did this another time before thumping to a stop. When I tried to restart it, it just made a grinding noise. I have tried charging the batteries up and still the same thing. I also jumped the starter and found it doesn’t seem to turn the motor. Kind of a grindy sound to it. When I turn the key to the “on” position, something activates Some kind of pump that sounds like it’s running rough. The starter it’s self wont engage with the key.
Is there a switch or something possibly on or where should I look into so I can start this thing. Thanks
