I purchased this tractor new more than a decade ago, to only use a couple of times per year, to prevent summer grass fires on less than a acre of land in Northern Calif. The problem: the engine won't turn over? It has a new battery, the connections are clean and tight...new starter switch...solenoid checks good... the wiring is unmolested from any rodents, and the 30AMP fuse is good too! I don't have any wiring diagram for trouble shooting?
The tractor has always been garaged, and in mint condition; it was running fine when last used, which was last fall. The only way to get the engine to turn over is, bypass all of the above, and run a jumper wire directly from the battery to the starter motor. Would this be a "safety switch" issue somewhere?
Thanks in advance for all your help!
