I’m still having a random issue . Next days off I will check the cables .
I unhooked all sensors and nothing.Twisted cable around some and bam it cranked up.Done cleaned it too much.Tightened cable up till i almost broke the end.It has started and ran like a top since.
Well I’m still having a problem . I checked my battery terminals . They were dirty . Didn’t help . Talked to the dealer and told me maybe starter relays . Gave me 2 relays . Changed the ones he said . Didnt help .Should my tractor start with out sitting in the seat ? Cause it will .

Yes I believe it should start without being in the seat if it is in neutral, the the PTO is disengaged & the brake is on... at least that is how my TC40D works.... I start it all the time without being in the seat...
Also you may want to check your cables... not just your connections...
Older New Holland battery cables often corrode inside the terminal where it is sometimes impossible to see; You will often have voltage so everything seems good. (gauges & all are working) but no start.
You can test if there is an issue with your existing battery cables pretty simply.
Remove the negative battery cable & then take a negative jumper cable wire and place it on the bare negative post of your tractor battery. Connect the other end to a solid clean ground of the tractor (bare metal location). Try starting the tractor & see if that makes a difference...
If that doesn't change anything you can do the same process on the positive post. Disconnect the Negative jumper from the Battery terminal. Then using your positive jumper cable attach one end to where the positive battery cable connects to the starter (connect this end first), and the other end to the positive battery post (last). Make sure the jumper cable is not able to arc to near by metal. Now reconnect the Negative jumper cable to the battery & try starting the tractor again & see if that changes anything...
Doing this process you basically bypassed the battery cables on the machine, and then can troubleshoot from there. I wouldn't put any more parts on it till I checked the factory cables...
