Help with T233 (273) Electrical

[jaln]

I had parked my T233 a few months ago and got busy and was not around much.
I recently went to start it and it starts but dies when I release the key.
I know it could have a lot to do with the brake switch and other similar issues.
I did find that the glow plug relay was defective. (Glow plugs are fine)
It was sparking when I attached the battery. I changed it out for one I got at NAPA, an AR282.

I had never really looked at the schematics in the manuals until now.
I found that they are almost illegible and missing the right hand side of the schematic.
It would really be nice to be able to read all of the text including wire designations etc.
IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE A MORE READABLE T233/T773/T293 SCHEMATIC?

Also, I noticed that the terminal on the rotary (start switch) labeled 17 are shown connected to the Start (#2) position in some diagrams in the manual, but not in the schematic?
Anyone know which is correct?

Also, if I disconnect the fuel relay, it will still start. Is that a hint?
I know it is starting, not just the starter turning it over, because of the smoke, sound and the fact that if I advance the throttle the engine speed up.
(yeah, I know, bad for the starter--I did not do it for long and the started is fine).

Any suggestions, insight or help would be appreciated.

I guess service and parts in Southern CA is non-existent at this point? Worthington Tractors in Leona Valley has been out of business for some time as well as some other places that were still in operation a few years back.

Check the fuses in the fuse box under the hood on the firewall. That's what it was when mine did the same thing. Not sure which fuse it was and I don't have the wiring diagram handy at this moment.
Good luck.

Thanks.
I did have a fuse blown. It was the 7.5 Working Light (on the side with 5 fuses--other folks mentioned the 7.5 EG PTO fuse on the other side). I can't figure why that one would have blown.
It still starts but still dies when the key is released.
I'm going to head out and check the fuses again though.
I'm thinking it might be the brake switch.
Sure wish I could read some of the text on the schematic...

Got it!
Fiddled around with the brake, and then checked the fuses.
All were fine at 6pm yesterday. 7.5A on the EG PTO side this time was blown!
I cannot see any chaffed wiring but will wrap it anyway.

Weird, but everything running like top now.
That is, except for the automatic cattle gate I clipped while grading the drive.
One hour to do drive, 2 hours to fix the gate.

Thanks!
