Edit: It's a B2710, not B2410. Doh!

I was digging post holes, put PTO in neutral, jumped off with engine running to move something. About 5 seconds later while I was still on the ground the engine stopped. Got back in seat and it won't crank. When I move the key from off to on position I can hear a relay click. But when I turn key from on to start position I don't hear anything. All guages illuminate normally. I'm guessing it's some kind of safety switch, but I tested the battery anyway. Battery is fine. I depressed the seat safety switch with my finger, still no crank. Tractor's 3 years old, runs like a top, garage kept, no kludged wiring. I have an owner's and shop manual, but don't see any diagnostic in the troubleshooting section for "won't crank".

Any help and suggestions appreciated.

You are looking in the right direction of it being a safety switch.
Keep looking you will find it.
That PTO switch looks suspicious to me.

It was the nut behind the wheel. When I put the rear PTO in neutral I was looking backwards and must have accidentally put the mid PTO in gear. When I jumped off the tractor that caused the engine to stop. I've never used the mid PTO so didn't notice it was not in the right position. Problem solved.
