310k ep

[Keith Moore]

I have a 2012 John Deere 310k ep that when it’s first cranked after setting overnight it doesn’t want to move. Once it does it works fine for the rest of the day even after killing it and letting it set for a couple hours. I can park it on a hill and let it roll on initial start up and it works fine. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Welcome to HEF Keith!

Serial number?

Transmission Oil level good? What brand/type of oil in the transmission?

 

[Keith Moore]

Yes hydra guard hydraulic oil

I’ve changed oil and filter and seems to be doing better but still not right

it doesn’t want to move

Forward or Reverse?

When it does work does it have plenty of pushing power or does it feel like it is slipping?

Do you have gauges and know how to use them?

Do you still have the old transmission filter? If so cut it open (see below). (1) I am looking to see if any debris is in the filter, and (2) I want to know if the bypass inside the filter came apart. Post a picture of the filter.

When you drained the transmission fluid did you look into the drain hole at the pickup tube to see if any debris stuck to it?

Sorry MG it’s taking so long to get back with you. I haven’t had a chance to work on it lately. My youngest son was in a oilfield explosion and been in hospital but soon as I can I’ll get back with you on it. I do appreciate the help
