New Holland 1925
Three weeks ago I did some shredding at my place and parked the 1925 back in the barn, turned off the key and went home. Last weekend I went to fire it up and there was nothing - no glow plug light, no sound like it was trying to start, nothing. I thought that maybe I'd left the lights on or key in the "on" position and ran the battery down, so I removed it from the chassis and brought it home. When I hooked the charger up to it, it seemed fully charged. I went ahead and "topped it off", then took it back out today. By the way, this battery is less than 6 months old.)

I hooked everything up and zippo, nada. I cleaned the terminals on battery and cable. I cleaned where the ground bolts to the chassis, and i checked the 30 amp fuse near the starter. Again, nothing. What's strange is, I can't even get the headlights to come on! I mean, it's as if I have no battery, yet it shows fully charged. Any thoughts as to what else to look for? many thanks.

More than one fuse? Animal damage to wires? Trace your wires, use a volt meter to confirm power.

Similar problem on my 1987 2120 2 years ago. Turned out to be ignition switch.

You may have a fuse link on the system. Check for a fuse holder somewhere by the starter. Main fuse that controls all power. Usally just behind starter; follow power lead from battery, hooks to starter and a wire feeds off that lug , it will be on that main feed wire.

Good advice so far. Get yourself a test light and start checking circuits. Pay special attention to the grounds. It seems like faulty grounds seem to be the trouble more often than not.
