Well you got down to the cause of it pretty fast. That's good. At least it won't be expensive to fix. Also good.

Thanks Slim. From reading around these forums it seems the checklist items in this situation are the PTO switch (because of the interlock), the battery cables, the fuses, and any damaged wires. Also if the forward/reverse pedals aren't right where they should that can also prevent a hydro from starting (there's a neutral position interlock). I'm an electrician but my wife actually suspected a damaged wire after watching me terrorize the buckbrush.

Definitely glad it was easy and cheap.

I noticed what appears to be coolant leaking from your block. Any idea what is going on there?

K5, I've been storing the tractor outside for the last few weeks because there's a new log splitter and some other stuff in the garage. That was actually an oak catkin that had gotten wet from the rain and landed there. Crisis averted!
