CM,

I just want to say the last couple pages you were AWESOME, clear, concise, and very helpful. I hope I can remember all of this when I have issues. This is exactly what I really love about TBN. The friendship is wonderful, but the level o knowledge and experience, freely shared is just outstanding.

Well Done!
David

Moss, Thanks very much for the kind words, I really appreciate it. I try my best to help when I can. I've learned just about everything I know about tractors on this site over the last 4 years or so. Without it I'd be lost regarding all kinds of tractor issues and basics.
Glad for pafoodplotter that it is solved, I would have been surprised if the starter had failed.
Now whats up with the original OP's start issue? Chaz...

Original Poster...back at it again.

I dropped a new battery in. NOTHING. Well, the same thing. I turn the key, no lights on the dash. I turn further to start it, nothing. As I turned it back to the run then back accessory (?), I hear the original "buzz" sound again. I try to start...nothing, no lights. Cycle the switch back through the different positions and hear the buzzing. I tried it a few times, each time there was less buzzing until it just didn't buzz any more.

Ideas? I'm about to call a pro in on this.

Well you've ruled out the battery. Now it seems like you may be experiencing a relay issue or possibly a solenoid, etc. I don't recall if your under warranty or not? If you're not then diagnosis is crucial to save $ and not replace things that aren't going to solve the problem. Basically you need to go from teh battery out through the entire starting system until you find where the voltage is dropping out and then replace the item in question. Do you have a wiring diagram for your tractor? Do you have a multimeter to test out the circuit?

Not sure on the confusion of who I am and what I have.

I am the original poster with the no start problem and it is a DK35. WAY out of warranty. I think it is a 1998 model. I see you are in Branson. I'm not too far away to the east...

Hello neighbor!

What, my vote is the ignition switch. Either replace it. or take it apart and clean it.

As of 5am EDT your profile still had a Kubota listed. I'm sure thet is what threw James off. He is an AWESOME guy BTW...

Your link does not work, but the name, idea, and google maps looks awesome! Say NO! to Fast Food! AMEN!

Be well,
David
