Plowed today for 2 hours, when I went to start it again it turned over and then the electrical system died. No lights, no starter no nothing. Battery checks out fine. Where should I start????

Ground strap.

I found a wiring diagram and it shows no fuses but a 25a circuit breaker. I followed the ground from the battery to the engine, looks grounded to me.

Check and clean/tighten all FOUR(4) battery cable ends and report back.
