425 just died

Thanks, I'll look for one.

Checked the battery and its ok. Also I looked for another fuse but did not find one. Any other suggestions?

It sounds electrical in issue, right? No lights, basically DOA (nothing clicks on, right? Nothing lights up, nothing makes noise, right?)

You need to start tracing backwards with a voltmeter.

First make sure you have a good ground. This will bite you all the time.

I don't know your wiring at all but I bet someone has a schematic. Basically you start moving forward off the battery toward the starter and ignition and when you no longer get a voltage reading you have your problem.

Following up on Carl's suggestion to start at the battery;
Go both ways- unscrew and check both battery cables.
With cables off you, can use your voltmeter to see where you have complete circuits.
I think it is good practice to clean both ends of the negative cable. The same for the positive cable.
There is at least one big fuse in the electrical box. Sometimes the big fuses can look intact, but be open. If the large fuse is blown, I would try to find why it blew before replacing.
I would also check both the start key switch, and the contacts, and make sure that the wires are all well attached in the interconnect under the dashboard.
All the best,
Peter

Thanks. I'm going to have to get it in the garage first. Getting to cold out there.

You don't happen to still have the PTO switch in the "ON" position? Because my 422 has an interlock that prevents starting with the switch in the "ON" position.

You know about releasing the towing port on the pump before moving it without power, correct?

 

[smilindave]

Checked the PTO switch and it was off. Thanks Moss about the Port warning. Got it in the garage warming up. I will start checking things out tomorrow.

Got it running! I found another fuse. It was covered with crud and was hard to see. Thanks for all your support and help!
