3525 Electrical Issue

[michaellacombe2]

I attempted to start ther tractor and the starter engaged momentarily the I lost all power to the tractor. I checked all the relays and fuses & all looks good. I bypassed the starter thinking the starter might have a short to ground. When I did this I turn the ignition switch to the on position and I have power again. I removed the starter and had it tested but it test OK. This is very puzzling. If anyone has any information please advise.

Sounds like a bad battery connection to me.I would check the terminals.

Chech the ground cable where it bolts to the tractor. Mahindra has a habit of attaching the cable to radiator supports and battery trays where the cable does not always contact tractor frame, but painted parts. They use the closest bolt to the battery to save on cable expense.
