If your PTO light is on your tractor will never turn over that is a safety feature. The PTO Safety Start Relay has not been made and without it closing there will be no power supplied to your starter.Switched all relays, same little click when I turn key for each relay swap. I assume relays and fuses are fine after checking panels.
So I still have a PTO icon and no crank. Plenty of fuel, no starving. Fuel not an issue. I cant get that PTO icon to go out. You mentioned fuel solenoid- why would that cause PTO switch error? And wouldn't engine crank even w/ no fuel?
Tractor stopped moment the wires were pulled by brush. The piece of brush (1/2") was right there at the neutral/pto switch wires. I removed stalk and reconnected wires but still have a pto light. That the engine stopped that same moment has me flummoxed. Need to solve pto switch first so can crank engine fuel solenoid or not.
While you reconnected the wires there could be a break in them somewhere that you can not see because they were stressed.
If you have a meter you could check continuity of the wires from the switch back to the relay.
Getting the PTO Safety Start Relay to close is the first step.
