2004 B7610 will not start

[Minster]

Good Morning all.

My B7610 was running great. I parked it in the yard and went back to start it the next morning and I am getting nothing.

The 3 lights on the dash come on. I have did the usual play with the PTO handle, pushed on seat safety switches and push in forward and backwards gas. These tricks have worked in the past but none have.

I had a spare switch for the PTO changed it and no difference. It is not gas or it would try to turn over. It is not. I can hear the ignition switch click when I try to start it.

I am open to suggestions. I do not want to pay $500 to have it worked on if I can easily find the fix.

Thanks in advance.

I think I would start with the battery charge and for good connection. Check voltage drop through the cables. maybe for ease just put volt meter on battery and see if if drop excessive with the key turned on to start.

It sounds to me as though you have had problems with the safety switches in the past. I would bypass them to make sure that they are not the cause of the no start and go from there.

I have replaced the PTO switch and it changed nothing. I am going to change the safety switches on the Gas portion tomorrow. I slaved in a new switch and still nothing.

If it is not the switches. What do you guys think about the two relays? I have not changed those yet.

I would not start replacing anything until I knew what was wrong. You will waste more money than if you just paid someone to fix it for you.

I would suspect a ground problem. You need to use a multimeter and do some test. A test light is very helpful as well. Voltage drop test as suggested is a great start.

Just to be clear so I understand. The engine is not turning over? Have you checked fuses?

Have you checked the starter fuse?

It is not even beginning. I am having trouble locating the fuse boxes besides the two under the front.

Sorry guys I am a rookie. Is that the 5a fuse or the 20a? We have had the tractor 6 months. I know how to change fuses. Is there a B6710 specific fuse or just a standard fuse.
