My son was moving some stuff around the yard, tractor was running fine, he put it in neutral (it's a hydro) and when he got off the seat it died. Turn key and no crank. Here's what I've tried/learned so far:
- Turning on the key the dash lights up
- Turn key to start position and nothing happens
- Fuses all okay
- Seat safety switch appears to be working. With key on, press switch and hear solenoid "click" under hood, press switch and read 12V at the neutral safety switch
- Neutral safety switch appears to be working, or at least when I jumper it out there is no change in the no-crank condition
- I've not checked the PTO safety switch but the PTO is off
- I can jumper the starter solenoid and it cranks, if I press down the seat safety switch while doing this it gets fuel (white diesel smelling smoke coming out of exhaust) but doesn't start
