HELP .... 1538 womt start

[yetavon]

Only 170 hours, shut off, 10 minutes later wont crank. Had some Battery connection issues and replaced the positive clamp. Still no crank but have power to dash and lights. Have 12 volts at the starter from the battery, but no power from the relay when cranking. Jumped power over and she cranked over and fired right up. Checked and bypassed the seat safety switch, all the fuses are good.
Will check the clutch switch when the mud dries up some...
Any other things I'm missing
Thanks

You say no power from the relay, but how about to the relay: is the relay getting power to its coil when the key is turned? If it isn't, continue your troubleshooting. If it is, then replace the relay.

I’m thinking the clutch switch .

If you are replacing battery cable ends with 170 hrs something is amiss.

The replacement bolt on ends are just going to cause you grief in the long term.

PTO switch can be the problem in addition to those mentioned.

Any access to a WSM which you could post so I can look over the wiring diagram?

A WSM for a different model of Mahindra talks about 3 fusible links in addition to fuses.

Wiring diagram would be a great help to me for sure. can anyone get me one for Xmas...
I know the issue is in the start relay circuit.... there just a lot more wires than the old MF 135 I'm use to.
To top it off, no dry spot here yet, shop tools are still in boxes from the move, and on 4 /12 hours days starting tomorrow.
Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas

Mine ended up being the pressure switch under the seat, simply fell out. Twisted it back in and away I went.

I found this post from 2012

Go to Mahindrausa.com and at the bottom of the page is a men bar, click on Owner login and enter your serial number for the tractor and then make your selection of what you need. Hopefully it is listed.

If you send me an email with your tractor serial number I will dig further for you and see what I can get you for Christmas

FIXED.....
Well it wasn't broke. I have never used the PTO on this one, but somehow it got engaged....
But the battery clamps did need attention
ever feel like a Dumba$$ ?

If I gave myself a dollar for each time I stare'd into the bathroom mirror and mutter'd ' DUMB ARSE ' at myself after some mishap or screw up, I would be a rich man.... Important thing is that you keep getting on the horse, and not just crawl in the corner and suck your thumb...
