What kind of tractor is John Deere 5303?

The tractor is a John Deere 5303. I realize this is an old post, but I just did what drmosterbrain suggested. Had the same problem with my 5210. Thanks I have followed all the suggestions. I can now hear the fuel pump solenoid click on but it still will not start. I used some starter fluid and got it to run once for an hour, but now will not start.

Why does my JD 5303 start with no fuel?

It turns over very well but there’s no fuel. There is a fuse that blows when I turn the key and I have traced the wires to the top of the fuel pump. What is this electrical part and do I have to replace the whole pump to fix it?

Where is the cold start sensor on a JD 5303?

Look above the pump. You will see the coolant temp sensor. In that same area is another similar sensor with a pigtail. This other sensor is called a cold start switch. It is wired with the fuel shut off solenoid on the pump. All you have to do us unplug this sensor and replace fuse. Replace sensor when you can.

Why does my JD 5303 start at 503 hours?

At 503 hours it started in the morning but later in the afternoon it wouldn’t. It seemed like a fuel problem so I found the answer here. Unplugging the sensor and replacing the fuse got it running again. I found the best price for the part on Ebay for $50.

What kind of resistance does a JD 5303 have?

Measuring the resistance on the defective part showed a short wire to wire and wire to chassis. On the new part at 80 degrees, wire to wire was a short and wire to chassis was open. After soaking it in 32 degree water, the measurements were the same. Attached is the internal view.
