B2620 died....

[FN in MT]

I was just mowing and my 2620 died.

Threw the PTO into neutral, turned the key to restart and zero...not even dash lights.

Checked the seat/kill switch and wires...looked fine. Cycle the key, remove key...doesn't matter...no nothing when the key is turned.

Nothing under the hood appears to be amiss. Has fuel, etc. Apparently something electrical as no dash lights. Wont turn over, etc.

Any ideas??

Main fuse?

I had to get my owners manual to FIND the fuse box...I'll take a look.

Thanks!!

Fuses ALL ok.

Sight glass full of diesel.

There IS a strange noise from behind the dash...as if something is CYCLING.

Try charging the battery?? May need to be replaced.

Also you could try jump starting it with another battery/vehicle if you don't have a charger. If it is the battery, the next question is why. Old and not taking a charge? Not getting a charge?

Battery started the tractor just fine. NO warning lights on the dash...simply died.

I was thinking of disconnecting a terminal...and reconnecting. Might reset things.

If the alternator wasn't charging the battery Shouldn't I have gotten a warning light or ??
I had also just started it a few minutes before and it started fine.

NOT arguing....I appreciate all the input.

I hooked up the jumper cables and heard a CLICK under the dash. Disconnected jumpers...Cycled key and dash light came on.

Started just fine with the key. !?!?!?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

Any ideas.

And Gentleman...I TRULY appreciate ALL of the quick replies.
