I was just moving snow and my skidsteer stopped accelerating. All the other hydraulics work fine. the machine is a 2010 318D johnDeere skidsteer with 72hrs on it. Either the dial or the foot pedal accelerator won't do anything. The machine starts fine and idles ok but no acceleration. Would you guys help me out here, thanks

Have you checked your throttle linkages? could it be as simple as something let go?

I had the boom left raised on the machine overnight and the locking pin for the boom is inside behind the operator. The main wiring harness for the compurter was touching the boom pin spring. I must have loosen the plug for the computer when I pulled the pin back in and while I was operating must have come more loose. I took the plug out and re-install it and moved the wiring harness from the spring location and everything worked OK. Thanks Tazz, for writing back, back to snowclearing.
