TC30 electrical diagram wanted

[shu]

Can anyone provide a pdf or other scan of the TC30 electrical diagram - particularly the chain of safety switches?

Most times I want to start the tractor, sounds like the starter solenoid only partly engages. A soft click, but no starter. After a minute or so fiddling with the gear shift lever, in and out of the two 'neutral' positions, or sometimes stomping on the foot brake, the tractor will start.

I believe there is just too much voltage loss through the train of safety switches (seat, brake, two pto switches, shift in neutral). A circuit diagram would be a great help trying to chase this down.

Been this way for a couple of years now, and it's really starting to bug me. When it first began happening, I assumed the battery was getting old. Put a charger on the battery, and the tractor started right up. Went and bought a new battery, but same problem continued.

Dust off your operator's manual.

As we used to say when I was an Air Force jet instructor pilot: "Give the students books, and they just eat the covers."

Shame on me.

But if anyone has any better information, I'll take that too.

Shu,
I also have a TC30 and once in a while I have that problem. All I do is move my speed control lever a little and off it goes. However, after blowing snow in the winter and parking in the barn the safety switches freeze and it's a no go until I take a heater out and thaw them all out. I solved that problem by parking it in a heated garage. When I find my manual, I'll see if there is a diagram in it of what your looking for.

Check for corrosion in the bullet connectors at the various PTO and transmission neutral safety switches.

thanks. with the circuit diagram, that's all i need.
