I have a older Deere backhoe with about 5500 hrs. The thing has been very dependable and has never given me any issues. However, I was driving it recently and it just stopped running. It has plenty of fuel, oil on dipstick, and I checked all the fuses, relays and the parking brake switch. When you turn on the key, all the alarms go off like it's in gear or the hoe is down. Flipping the brake switch either way has no effect. The brakes are locked as I tried to tow it back to the shop but I would have to drag it which I don't want to do.
I have minimal manuals, operator, CTM104 and TM1609. My gut tells me it's an electrical issue and not fuel but I am not certain. If it was a fuel issue, I wouldn't have the stop alarms and it would have chugged to a stop rather than just dying.
Any ideas out there on what or where to look for the issue.
Thanks in advance.
