B2320 won't start
- Thread starter buzz123
- Start date
That's not much information. When you turn the key will it turn over? Do you have any dash lights? Did it run out of fuel?
There are a few safety switches which can (will) prevent the starter from engaging. Be sure the PTO is disengaged. Shift the drive selector to neutral. Depress the clutch pedal. Oh, and you must be sitting in the seat. If all these conditions are satisfied the engine SHOULD turn over (unless I've overlooked a switch somewhere).
The glo-plug light come on when I turn the key to start done seat all above ,no headlight turn signal, flashers work

I would agree with Roadworthy. Check the switches. I would also check the battery. Doing the simple things first. Has the tractor been dragging when you go to start it? I would clean the battery terminals and the ground cable attachment to the frame. Charge the battery and take it to have it load tested. If it tests good then reassemble the tractor and see if it will start. Then report back.

Assuming your battery is good, when you turn the key to the on position do you here a click? If not, there are a few safety switches involved. The seat switches, the PTO lever switch and the pedal. The seat switches and the pedal neutral switch have given me problems on my B2620. Move the foot pedal by hand to make sure the it centered in neutral. Lift the seat an manually activate the switch. You should hear the solenoid click as you check the switches.

Betting it’s the battery....heck, it’s a guess, but given the limited information I have a decent chance....
Buzz - like the others said it’s tough to diagnose with little to work with.

Like going to the doctor and telling him "I don't feel good"
they're gonna want more information......
as my old boss always said, "garbage in, garbage out"
since the question is "my tractor won't start, why", I will answer
turn the key.

Yea start with the battery; Check it with a multimeter and see what sort of voltage your reading off the battery. You typically want that voltage to hover at or above 12.6v. If the tractor has been sitting for an extended period, it could read a little below that and still be ok. If you see anything under around 12.4v though then Id charge it. If you get a good voltage read than you can probably scratch the battery off the list.
UPDATE, Took tractor to dealer after three days of none repair I went and got it. So after about 30 minutes crawling underneath found a safety switch so I jammed a screw driver pushing the plunger in reached the key and tractor started. took out screw driver it was doing the same as before wouldn't start. It has nothing to do with the forward and reverse pedal I will adjust the switch tomorrow that is if these old hands can get beyond all the crap underneath, thanks.

It's kinda critical to have a good wiring diagram of whatever you're working on, even nicer to share it.
That switch 'could' be for something like the PTO. Has to be in neutral before starting ??

Could be I will check the pto, I have repair manuals coming in and will let everyone know what I find out,
