BX22 will not start

[spb180]

I was using the tractor today and went to turn it back on and heard a pop/click and then nothing, no power. No idiot lights work with the key in the on position, nothing. Checked the fuses and voltage of battery. What am I missing? I have to giggle the drive selector to get it to start sometimes, the lockout is a bit fussy.

Thanks for the help.

Try the PTO lever, that's the one I always have to mess with on mine.

Usually a pop or click is a fuse blowing. Seems as though the BX guys have talked about a master fuse ubder dash I think it might be an inline one and not in fuse box. some of the guys with BX tractors can shed more light.

Agree turn the key and at the same time move the PTO lever. It will catch and start. The safety switch is either bad or has moved and is not making contact. I have the same problem and have it on my list of repairs when converting the BX from summer to winter mode. The rear tire has to come off to get to the safety switch, about a $7 item.

Right side of the tractor down low by radiator there is a main relay. You lose everything if it blows.
