Got out there this morning and put the charged battery in. When trying to start with key several things are happening, but it's not starting.
If I turn the key to the ON position the glow plug light slow blinks, doesn't go away.
If I turn the key to the ON position a red right in the right side of the dash comes on, glass is so foggy I can't really tell, but I think it's a PTO related light. I'm guessing this is being caused by one of the 2-3 killswitches under the left fender so I can test those next time I'm out there.
If I turn the key past on to start, I hear a single click, but no start.
I was able to take my push button starter tool connected to low-voltage terminal of starter and positive terminal of battery, key on, and tractor starts and runs. Did not attempt to drive because all of the lever/control labels are gone. I have no idea what position any of the levers are in and couldn't find photos online to reference. Also couldn't find an online version of the operator's manual that didn't cost money so I'm assuming I'll just need to grab one off ebay.
Noticed two hydraulic leaks. One leak is where there is a 3" rubber hose connecting two metal lines together just below the starter(this line runs to a cooler mounted near the top/front of the radiator...hydraulic or trans?), and the other leak is a pinhole in one of the short hoses on the bucket.
On to the photos...
Leak #1 from the left hose clamp, should be easy enough to fix. Is this carry trans fluid to the cooler in front of the radiator, or hydraulic fluid for the pto/bucket?
Leak #2 from one of the bucket hoses. Visually, this hose is in the worst shape so I can see about just replacing it for now.
Unknown switch. Doesn't light up when on. All I can think of is that it's for the rear-facing headlight/spotlight mounted on the right side of the canopy frame.
The left side dash lights that come on when key is turned to ON position. Glow plug light never goes off, just blinks.
The right side dash light that comes on when key is turned to ON position. I'm assuming this is causing the tractor not to start with the key.
Left side controls, no labels.
Right side controls, no labels.
I wouldn't be opposed to just taking a paint marker to draw the control lever info instead of dropping $100 on new lever decals, but I'd need good photos of both sets of levers and their decals from someone that owns a similar model with the same levers.
