Chris,

No I have not tested the switches but will try it. Unfortunately, the pages that you attached are not legible due to the resolution(?) of the scan. I have an idea of what they are asking for.

Will try to get out there. I had a water pipe break and need to work on cleaning out that room for the contractor to start repairs tomorrow.

Life comes at you all at once.

Tom,

On my list of things to look at as soon as I can get out there. I checked all of the wiring up under the fender but did not get down under/beside the tractor. I did not expect much wiring down low due to possible damage. Unfortunately the space I park the tractor in only has 6-8" of clearance around it. Oh well.

Thanks...Derek

You might want to check the fuses too. I think there is at least 1 fuse dedicated to the safety system.

Can you pull it out of the tight space? Are there implements attached to the tractor? If you download that attachment diagram you may be able to read it better by zooming in and out.

Sherpa,

I figured out to zoom in on the image late yesterday and was able to read it. I may have some time this afternoon to look at it. Luckily, we did not get much snow on Sunday and with the sun the last two days it is melting. One of our big problems is drifting snow which we are not having right now. I pushed through with my truck & the wife’s car is doing OK since. No snow forecast till at least Thursday so my level of urgency has drastically reduced.

As far as space, I can get under it just won't be easy. I have shelves on both sides along the engine & FEL but can move some of the stuff at the rear wheels (snow blower, diesel fuel cans, rollaway tool chest, etc.). Like I said, I will try to get out there this afternoon. Working at home has some advantages but when you have two toddlers, one sick (spent Sunday night till 1 AM at the ER with the 20 mo. old & the 4 1/2 yo goes in tomorrow for an EGD), it gets difficult to get work done much less tractor/garage work.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I have a good list of things to check that should cover everything. I'll keep you updated.

...Derek

How embarassing - poor quality work - being obsessive-compulsive, I am so sorry. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Hope these can help, page one attached.

Page 3. I lost a lot of resolution dropping a 1200kB scan down to <100kB file. Try Right clicking on the opened attachment and then printing it.

Re: HELP - My TC33DA Won\'t Start

Thanks to all of the suggestions. It turned out to be a loose/wet wiring connection down low on the tractor. Sorry it took so long to get back. It has been a very hectic week. I called the dealer about the PTO safety light on Monday; he did not have any additional advice.

While on the phone I went over some other issues. He picked it up Wed since we were not forecasted to get snow for a while. Of course we got 2" on Thursday but it melted. I was surprised that he acted so fast to correct some warranty problems that I felt were minor. Was going to wait for the 50 hour service (have 42 hours) since it was included in the purchase price. He even got new bolts and parts for the front under the battery that were damaged by the battery overflowing. The battery cells were evidently overfilled per dealer.

I know this was an old problem but I thought it was taken care of by NH using different batteries / correcting an overcharging problem. Anyone have any recent problems. I have a TC33DA that I purchased October of ’04.
