I took my tractor out of the garage today and hosed it off and now it won’t start.. I wasn’t using a pressure washer washer just a hose. I’m tarped it and will go back up Friday to see if it starts. Any idea what could have gotten wet and made it not start.
Thanks

Possibly you bumped a lever when you washed it.
Check all levers especially the PTO and rock the HST pedal back and forth while trying to crank it.

It would also help to be a little more specific on the symptoms.

Was it a "crank-no start"

Or was it a "no crank-no start"

It kinda makes a big difference in the troubleshooting procedure(s). (y)

No crank at all but the fuel gauge go up when I turn the key. I checked the battery all connections are tight.

If I was a betting man I would say you bumped the PTO lever, which is a safety switch and will not let it start
