Cub Cadet 7205 electrical no power

[CatoFarmer]

I have a Cub Cadet 7205 with a Woods Loader. Great overall sub compact that I have had for 5 years now with absolutely no issues at all.
The last time i went to start it I went through ny normal starting process.
Key to first position until Glow Plug light goes out
Then start
this time it turned over fine for at least 10 seconds and then just stopped. I have no power to headlights, dash lights, glow plug light, etc. The only thing that works are the rear turn signals, which go out if i turn the key to the first position.
Battery has checked out fine with meter. I checked the continuity through the safety switches on the hydro shift and the PTO.

Any suggestions. ?

I had two electrical issues with my 7205 a few years ago. Each had similar symptoms to yours. One was the battery terminal wire had a cracked bolt and was not making solid contact and the other issues was resolved when I found a frayed wire grounding on the frame under the foot position.

I found the first issue by testing the wires after the battery was determined to be OK. The second was trying to start the tractor in the dark and I saw the sparking.

Hope these help. Good Luck
