I just got this tractor yesterday, it worked great. I love this tractor. Today it will not work, no power. The battery and fuses are good. It will not turn over, no dash lights. ZERO Does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong? Thanks for any help you can give

Have you checked the main fuse? If that checks out ok I’d be looking at the ignition switch if nothing is happening when turning the key, remove and check for supply voltage and whether or not the switch is working as it should.

"battery and fuses are good"
Have you actually LOAD TESTED the battery?

Two possibilities:
1. Dead Battery - Try turning on the headlights. Do they illuminate at all? If not, dead battery likely.
2. (Less Likely) the slow-blow fuse has blown. It's less likely because everything worked great yesterday. It takes pretty much a dead short to blow it, and usually other, smaller, fuses will blow first.

Thank you for all of your help. My son was able to figure it out with your help. Thanks
