Heh. I'm running into the same problem with my CT230. But first problem was intermittent dash gauge problems. Tightened up all the dash instruments, no luck. Then the tractor wouldn't start at all. Jumped it okay. But when I shut it down, wouldn't restart. Checked the battery cables and the positive cable snapped right off the connector - had corroded through. That darned corrosion problem that seems to get everyone. Cleaned it up, topped off the battery, replaced the connector, and that solved the starting problem - battery and alternator are still going like champs. But still intermittent tach and hour meter, no instrument lights, no headlights, no taillights. Horn turn signals and emergency flashers work.
