New TC29 won\'t start

I was out mowing the swale. When the neighbor walk up to talk tractors. I shut down for a 15 minute break, to convince him he should trade his orange machine with a blue one. As he walked away. I did all the usual things put range selector in neutral, made sure the pto was shut off. Turned the key and it didn't start. All the panel lights come on. Glow plug light indicates its working. but the starter never twitched. I've checked underneath and under the hood for loose wires, none. All the fuses are good. I put a voltmeter on the battery good.

This is a new TC29, 4x4, 9x3 gear tranny, with a live pto. Its only a month old with 45 hours on it. Any ideas. has anybody else out there had a simular problem, or know of a solution? Any and all help would be appreciated. Its really hard to see her sitting all alone out there in the bottom of the swale.

loose wire on the pto switch. check that first.

A special thank you to Spencer200, for steering me in the right direction. All is well now.

I see you've already figured this one out. I had a similar problem on my TC33D with a different cause: Only one of my two neutral ranges worked for starting. The one between I and III worked, the one between I and II did not. Several people have reported this problem. The fix was simple... dealer made an adjustment to the safety interlock on the range select when it was in for its 100 hour, and I've had no problems since

Thanks John MC:

Interesting point. My TC29 goes in for its 50 hour service soon, so I'll ask to have that checked out as well.
