1995 Ford New Holland 1920 not starting

[CeRell]

Just got my 1995 tractor yesterday, only has 510 hours...today it won't start.
The dash lights up as it should, but nothing else, no clicks, whirs or anything..

Changed batteries no start. Where is the starter and selenoid located on this model? Anything else that might be preventing this thing from trying to start?

Where is the PTO lever on this model? What does the diagram look like?

Where is a good place to buy the owners manual? etc..
Appreciate your help...

Thanks to many YouTube videos...It might be the tractor needs to be in neutral with the PTO lever as well. When
I tried to engage the PTO, the gears ground so I stopped...How do you engage the PTO on these compact tractors.

If I remember correctly, on my 1920 PTO lever is left of the seat bottom. Depress clutch all the way down and move lever forward. As far as non-start, check ground from battery. It may need to be tightened. I believe that tractor and PTO need to be in neutral to start. Hope this helps. Can't help with manual.

not familiar with that model but it sounds like a safety switch not being activated or not functioning- clutch pressed all the way down ? gear shifts in neutral ?

Yes...once I put the tranny in neutral, AND the PTO completely off, it worked like a charm. Such a change from my old Minneapolis Moline Super Jet Star 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the input!
