NH Tractor won't turn over.

Re: NH Tractor won\'t turn over.

These new tractors have more safety devices than a 747. If it's shuttle shift, make sure it's in the neutral position. That happened to me, luckily...the guys here on TBN helped me out.

Cleaned off all battery posts and have a new battery in. All fuses check out ok. All safety switches seem to be operational and in proper position. "Hot wired" starter across positive lead and got nothing but "clicking" so I've removed the starter to test it.

Stop expecting a big problem. 50 to 1 its a safety switch problem. Start with the 2 connectors underneath that go into the emergency brake switch. One of them may very well be corroded. Take both connections out, get the corrosion off, replug and tada, it will start. If not clean the connectors well to the gear shift neutral sensor and the PTO sensor. I believe that you have corrosion in your safety system connectors.
Good Luck Frank

sounds like a bad starter solenoid

Re: NH Tractor won\'t turn over.

I have a Massey 1020 that does the same thing youre describing. Try rapping on the starter while holding the key in start position. If this works, it will confirm a poor ground connection or corrosion like several here have suggested. It's the same principal someone commented about the battery connections if corroded will draw enough amps for lights etc. but not enough to fully engage starter drive. BOL

Re: NH Tractor won\'t turn over.

Success! It turned out to be the #2 fuse in the fuse block after all. Why I did not catch it earlier was that the fuses in the exposed fuse block checked out good. What I did not know is that there is a SECOND fuse block behind the instrument panel that once removed, exposes a block of about 10 fuses. Spent the weekend back in the saddle.

Life is good again.
