It is a 2004 TC33D with less than 300 hours.
Here are the systems:
Used the tractor Monday mowing using rear PTO no problems.
Tried to start it Tuesday morning and it would not do anything.
Checked to make sure all the safety switch levers are in place, and all seem to be ok.
Went back later Tuesday afternoon and it started right up.
Went back today and now it wont start.
The starter doesn稚 engage.
I just hear clicking buzzing sounds under dash.
The lights dim like a short or dead battery.
Checked the battery, has 12.5 volts.
Tried to start with just battery power with a jumper cable at the starter, no luck. Starter did not engage.
Checked power at starter while trying to start only 8 volts.
Pulled the panels off sides and looked at the relays.
The 3 relays were all the same so I switched them around.
Still wont start, just buzzing at the relays.
The lights are dim on the 3 dash lights now.
Headlights are dim when turned on now.
Sometimes the flashers won稚 even flash.
Took the key switch out and checked it with meter seemed ok.
I tought it may be in the key switch?
Is the key switch a weakness or has that been a problem area?
I did read some other starting problems on the forum and plan to look at the safety switches again and try some more with the relays tomorrow.
I did a check on the fuses on the right side but did not remove them.
Are there any other fuses to check and where?
Any suggestions?
