Was working just fine all morning and got off to pull the teeth up from my blade. Got back on and now it won't start. I have dash lights and I have 12.9 volts at the battery, but it does nothing.
Seems like it might be the ignition switch but would appreciate any help you might offer.
Thanks!

Sounds like a safety switch. Is the pto still on ,tractor in still in gear,wire loose on the seat switch, hydro petal not in neutral zone, or any other safety switch on this tractor ?

If you can post a wiring diagram, more suggestions are possible but amaxwell seems to be pointing you in the best direction.

Good call on the safety switch! After some more looking I found a safety switch under the tractor, which appears to be connected to the brake pedal. One of the wires was pulled out of the switch. I tried to solder it back for a temp fix since my local dealer was closed, but that didn't work out. Then I tried to straight wire the 2 leads together and bypass the switch. That didn't work either, so I guess I'm waiting until Monday to get it running again.
Thanks again for the help. If anyone has a wiring diagram for this tractor, or possibly a source to get a service manual I would sure like to hear about it.
