New B2601 with 4 hours... wont start, HELP!

[milanmark]

Started my tractor drove it out of the barn part way.... installed a new toolbox, put a drawbar on the hitch some other small things...
Now it won't start! Turn the key hear the solenoid click and the lights on the dash come on and won't turn over...
FOUR hours on it! Dealer is closed... re-checked brake on, PTO in neutral etc... no good... looking for ideas! Thanks.

Could be a weak battery, have you tried jumping it?

Positive it isn’t a weak battery but have the charger on anyways…
thinking it is one of the 97 safety switches isn’t happy…. Been thru the manual and this forum not coming up with anything yet…

If the solenoid clicks I would say the safety switches are all working. Jump battery to solenoid at the starter. If the battery and solenoid are both good it will crank.

We’ll this is the way to learn I guess… I kept checking the PTO lever… only thing is I moved it somehow and I was checking to make sure it wasn’t in between… it was on! Oh well.. started right up is the good news! And I won’t forget that one…

Is your pto switch completely off?
You might have bumped it getting off your tractor.

Sit on the seat and rock the hst peddle while trying to start your tractor.

Glad you got it running and it was a simple fix that you and the rest of us can learn from.
