It could,but I would be checking the voltage at the starter itself. I would think at least 10-12 volts would be acceptable it would act about the same, if that’s OK,remove glow plugs, then try it.
True a voltage over 12.8 would prevent the battery from discharging, but you really need a voltage at least in the mid 13 volt range to charge the battery. You have taken a lot out of the battery, just to start it, at 13 volts you would have to run it for a long period of time to recharge the battery. The mid 13 to 14.0 volts will give you the fasted recharge, without damage to the battery. Hope I haven’t given any bad info here.
You may find that the battery won’t charge property with the lights and other stuff on, especially at low engine rpm.
I may not Be very smart, but tractors left outdoors attract mice. Have you checked your air cleaner?
First I would check where the linkage attaches to transmission, some times the roll pin will shear or deform, giving you a little extra play. If not that then you may have to do a clutch adjust, as described else where in this website.
Is your loaded connected with quick disconnects, if so are they the Chinese brand, if they are, that would be a great place to start checking. They are know to cause problems.
I have a 454, but there are different layouts depending on who sold the tractor, Mine has a small door with a screw holding it on directly below the steering wheel. You may find that you don't have fuses, some have a plug in cards about 1* 1 inch, they have some wire wound around them and then inserted into a couple of clips. If you find one that is burn't just pull it out, unwind one turn of wire and reinstall it back in the connectors. If you don't have a meter, use a taillight bulb and solder a couple of wires on it. The layout on most of these tractors are different depending on who sold, or manufactured the tractor. Good luck.
It's easy to make a backhoe dolly, Buy 3 of the Harbor Freight dollies at $8.99 each, get a sheet of 3/4 in plywood, cut it in the shape of the backhoe footprint, then attach the little 4 wheel dollies. Put two in the front and one under where the hoe bucket rests. Now you can roll it around in your garage, and install it in a very short time.
