Ford 2600

Greetings-
New member here.

My brother-in-law has two tractors a old Massey and a Ford 2600 (Model number BA21?C).
I was able to get the old Massey working and was hoping to get some help for the Ford.
My brother-in-law has stage 4 cancer and is too weak to get help out to his farm. I'm helping him out.
With the old Massey working and the hog up and running I can cut the meadows around his house.
The Ford has a back scraper which we need to get running for his long dirt driveway and other things that need clearing.
The tractors had been sitting over the winter with no shelter, which didn't seem to bother the Massey once I cleaned her up and got her running.

The Ford is another journey. I turn the key and I get red lights on the dash area. No sounds coming from the beast.
Can anyone give me a quick 101 on how I should go about getting the Ford running.
I'm an average mechanic around cars, tractors seem the same I just don't want to screw anything up.

Thanks,
fred58

If ot is a twin stick, the range lever needs to be in neutral. Sometimes switch is sticky, so hokd clutch with foot, put left shifter in n, hop key to start, and drag left range stick thru n fore and aft a few times.

Will try that. Just got back from his place which is 45 minutes out.
I'll send some images of the tractor.
I'll keep you posted.

yup, i'm thinking it is a twin stick 8spd and you just didn't have it in neutral on the range lever.
