UPDATE from further testing: did not find a seat switch. Mower is on so the speed control switch can't be checked right now. Pulled ignition switch plug and although the green wire at the back of the connector came loose I am pretty sure I plugged it back in so that although I was hopeful, is not the issue. There is continuity from the engine side of that connector to both control wires at the starter so I am really suspicious of the safety switches at this point. Ideas and input welcome.
Background
~10 years ago I installed the relay to avoid an intermittent "tractor won't start" issue and it worked until now; had starter rebuilt once and re-checked last week a bit dirty but not bad, (cleaned contacts), along with new battery which was weak. Cold winters here so I don't mind doing this from a maintenance perspective. Checking around for those ~5 safety switches that come loose or need cleaning or replacement, springs that fall off, etc. but I really don't think they are the culprit here, have more to do this weekend i.e. to find all of those but after I check this aspect of the system. Found only one and sprayed it with contact cleaner but it looked fine (near left rear wheel) and the hydraulic output connectors. I installed a new relay instead of testing the current one to save time, need to check voltages and frankly I suck at or don't like messing with electricity and wires like this although I am more comfortable with 12 volt than the big stuff lol. Suffice to say:
Question
Since I pulled / reinstalled the starter and reconnected up my relay and fuses (checked both), I am unsure if I re-installed all the wires correctly. Was wondering if an expert or someone who has done this could take a quick look and check my connections before I spend more time on this per the above... I found my notes and some information on this but am still not sure if I didn't mix up a couple of them. Tractor is in the garage (of course)... Thanks you for anything you can help me with.
