Greetings everyone.
As you can tell, this is my first post. I'm having a first time problem with my 2 month old tractor. I normally use it almost daily so this is really screwing things up for me. Thursday, I did a few easy things on the tractor and it got very muddy on the tires and axles so I washed it off with the hose. I went to use it yesterday and it wont start. When I turn the key, after the glow plug light goes out, it makes a little....tink.......sound. Like someone hits a coke can with their fingernail.........and that's it. No attempt to turn over, no nuthin.....just a ..........tink. I called my dealer and they are going to send the guy out here Monday morning, but IF I can get the solution on here, I would be very grateful.
I have checked the 50 amp fuse and it's ok. I was low on fuel, probably close to out, so I have added fuel. (I only mention this in case there is some sort of protection thing to keep you from running the thing out of fuel, where it won't start. Fat chance probably, but.....) The battery post was corroded so I cleaned that up. I have about a 10 IQ in mechanics so there is that too. This is about all I know to do.
What ch'all think? (That's a little bit of 'southern' typin)
