Hello, I have John Deere X300 with 90 hours on it. I started it up yesterday and it ran for about 10-15 seconds and then it cut out. I tried restarting it and will not crank all you hear is just a click. Does anybody have any ideas what maybe the problem Thank You Rob Lewis

Which issue are you asking about? The fact that is won't keep running or the fact that the starter will not turn over the engine? For the starter: - So it started and ran (even for 10 seconds). That means the engine turns & isn't seized. - Clicking sound in this circumstance can mean the battery voltage is too low. You changed the battery - Next thing I would check is the starter solenoid, then the starter. Pull the starter & solenoid from the motor together, leave them hooked up & try starting. If the solenoid engages & the starter turns, they should be ok. If not, test them one by one. Sometimes the contacts can become worn or pitted causing intermittent problems. Do as Borat said & make sure all the connections are clean & tight before replacing parts. Don't you have to charge up a new battery properly before you use it to make sure it is fully charged?

I have a x300 that will generally start most of the time. the problem appears to be once in a while when attempt to start it just clicks. Battery is fully charged. My guess is a dead spot on starter. any advice on changing/testing starter thanks
